Format:Hardcover
This book covers the subject matter that you need to study to take this exam, but will not equip you to pass it.

The information it gives you is often a high level overview, which does not leave you with a good understanding of the subject or the technical detail that you will need to answer the questions in the exam.

Most of the first half of the book is dedicated to discussing the analysis of company structure and administrational model. These are exam objective from Microsoft, but the book spends far too much time on them, and I found it hard to stay awake in this part.

Much off the second part of the book has been given up to a huge glossary. I can only assume this has been added to pad the book out and make it appear more substantial.

Sandwiched in-between these are the bare bones of what you really need to know.

I passed this exam, but only did so by downloading a great deal of additional information in the way of Microsoft technical articles and white papers. While I was doing this I was amazed to find that the books walk-through of IPSec was almost identical to an article published as part of Microsoft TechNet. This left me feeling rather cheated.

MCSE Designing Security for Windows 2000 Network Study Guide 25 Oct 2000
By Eugene Nesterenko - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Was somewhat disappointed by this book. Expected much more from Syngress. Looks like author was in a great hurry trying to present at least _something_ to cover the exam objectives, piece from here, piece from here, no clear presentation of the information, no vision how the things fit together, etc. The typical note from the author when the things are not clear - "that's enough to pass the exam". About 1/3 of the 700-page book are screendumps - kind of "what you'll see if you'll try to do that", 100-page Glossary - not so much remaining for the real information. However I have to admit that all certification objectives are covered more or less. If you are not new to the thechnology - you can browse this book to become familiar with the objectives and what knowledge from wich areas Microsoft expects from you. Definitely will not recommend this title to anyone who new to security area - the one can get complete mess in his/her head after reading of this title. Looks like that for preparation to the 70-220 exam this title is not the best choice, especially taking into account that this is case-study based exam. Just to add more pepper - the quality of videoclips on CD is not so good. Not sure that anyone checked them at all.

Bad choice 6 April 2001
By "cceeam" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book and mostly all of the Osborne series contains a lot of text whith no meaning at all. If you have a good understanding of the four core modules (especially the 3rd core), the added value of this book is almost nothing at all. Secondly the layout of the book makes this book very hard to read, although it's English... Compared to the four core books of Microsoft Press self, no other rating than one star is well deserved.

Choose a different book! 13 April 2001
By Bill B - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I was really disappointed in this book. It was long winded and off topic.. Its seems like a different person wrote each chapter, too much overlap. In the first three chapters the author(s) state that you can not export 128 bit encryption three times. I have read many of the Syngress books and have been very happy with them, I will be reading the Sybex instead. I am angry that I wasted time on this book.
