Summary: Good book but just too many typo errors
Review: I bought this book recently after reading some great reviews it received. Overall, it is a very well organised book, easy to undertand, and I just love the 'Step By Step' instructions. However, it has too many typo errors. If you want to buy this book, I would suggest you wait for the next edition.

Summary: Too Many Technical Errors!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Every chapter was informative and well written, as well as easy to read. At the end of each chapter were multiple types of questions including scenario, labs, and simple general knowledge questions. The book also included a large "cram" type appendix with summaries of all of the chapters most important points.I would recommend this book to anyone pursuing the MCSE 2000 Certification or anyone in the field who requires supporting Windows 2000 machines.

Summary: Want your MCP? Get this book.
Review: It would be hard for me to imagine studying for the Win2k Professional exam without this book. Well written; good labs and excellent written exam questions at the end of each chapter. The "Fast Facts" chapter in the book of the book is just what you need to review 30 minutes before you take the test. The test simulation software is good also. Not as good as Transcender's, but the price is right. When I went to the New Riders web site, they provided the codes to unlock the additional questions also; at no additional cost. I had little formal networking experience when I took the test. Get yourself a good book on basic networking, study it, and then read this book and do the labs before you take the test.

Summary: Not too bad
Review: Overall the book is decent. It needs to be revised to eliminate the obvious errors it has, however if you're familar with NT4, the errors aren't a problem since they will be very obvious. (MakeBoot, not MakeDisk, etc). I mainly wanted a Win2K Pro book to fill in information that is new to Win2K... and this book did just that. For the price, it's rather good... thought another round of error checking by the tech editor would help! If you're looking for a book to fill in the gaps between WinNT4 WS and Win2K Pro, get this! If you want something to learn from scratch, this book 'probably' won't be enough.

Summary: Oh, Really?
Review: The book was purchased based upon high ratings. My impression of the product is that little effort was made to insure accuracy. The book comes with a CD containing 200+ exam questions that barely relate to the book’s content and often the answers contradict the book. The New Riders Web site contains an errata file containing 6 pages of reported errors and few of the errors I found were listed. If you buy this book, play to spend time cross referencing everything.
