Waste of your time and money
This book is weak... it doesn't even make a good review. Your time and money is better spent on trancenders. You'll get more networking knowledge from the back of a milk carton.
This Book Will Confuse and Bemuse
This book actually got me confused when I read it after taking the Microsoft Official Curriculum course. I thought I understood most everything at the end of the MOC course. Then while studying for the exam I read this Exam Cram and found myself in a worse position. Week areas of the book include IPSec, security, remote access and routing.I found the book so unsatisfactory that I read and studied the Syngress/Osborne 216 book just get my bearings again. Wish I could return the Exam Cram book to Coriolis, but wouldn't you know it -- they just went out of business.
Don't waste your money
I have used Cram Exam books in the past and this is by far the worst. While everything is clearly presented it lacks much of the information that you will need to pass the test. It seems that the author never read the Microsoft objects for this test clearly. I recommend that the author first takes the test and then try again.
close but no cigar
Although this book was clearly written and presented in a logical order, it failed to adequately cover the material I was tested on. This subject area was not covered well by the Microsoft Training kit either. I passed on the first try but I used other resources as well.
Don't listen to the bad reviews !!!
If you are completely new to networking, then this book may leave you with the feeling that it was too "skimpy". If however you have an understanding of networking you will probably love it. [....]Overall, I think this is a great book. If you ARE new to networking, I suggest reading their tcp/ip book first. And if you are taking the exam you may want to read troytec (or whatever they call themselves now) in conjuction with this book. But I think this is a great nook!
