Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
MCSE Training Kit acknowledges that Windows networks don't exist in a vacuum. If you want to connect multiple Windows 2000 computers (as well as machines running older versions of Windows) on a network--and who doesn't?--you need to make sure those computers can see and identify each other, and that they can share information speedily and securely. MCSE Training Kit: Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infra structure helps you understand how to build Windows networks from the ground up, and how to integrate Windows services into existing local and wide-area networks (LANs and WANs). What's more, the book includes review and self-assessment sections that are meant to prepare you for the Microsoft Network Infrastructure exam (70-221), which you must pass if you're after Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification.
This book derives its organisation from Microsoft's published objectives for the Network Infrastructure exam. In taking on each objective, the authors--internal Microsoft documentation writers--explain the engineering questions at stake (such as how best to optimise Microsoft Proxy Server for Internet access) before explaining alternative solutions with pros and cons for each. Because this book--and the test it prepares its readers for--is concerned with questions of design, how-to instructions and screen shots are less important than network diagrams and design worksheets. The companion CD-ROM includes a timed evaluation copy of Windows 2000 Advanced Server, as well as a searchable electronic copy of the text and a key to access online review questions. --David Wall
Topics covered: The published objectives of the Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure exam (70-221), including analysis of customer requirements, design of addressing schemes, multiprotocol routing, and remote-access solutions.

Go elsewhere
16 Aug 2001
I've heard good things about some of the other MSPress guides, but unfortunately this one makes even their 70-216 study guide look like a masterpiece. The book is short on real information and contains massive ammounts of repetition e.g. much of the info in the IP routing section is repeated in the IPX routing. The writing style is dry with very little effort is made to convey understanding and many of the diagrams are utterly meaningless even with prior understanding of the point that is being made. Typical of this is the fact that every single time a diagram includes a connection to the internet the public interface of the router/proxy is shown as having a private address (172.16.x.x.) and a note is included saying that for the purposes of this diagram 172.16.x.x is to be regarded as a public IP address range- why not just make the diagram accurate! Buy ANY other book, nothing could be as bad as this one.

The most boring book I have ever read
28 Aug 2001
A waste of time and money. The information is in this book is repetitive and badly presented. The writing style is boring to the extreme. Having passed seven exams and this being my last, this book almost put me off continuing.

Almost useless for the exam!
5 Sep 2002
I took and passed the 70-221 exam yesterday despite buying this book. There is very little technical information here and if you have passed the the core exams on Professional, Server, Network Admin, and Active Directory, then you already know more than they tell you here. Secret to success is a good test prep simulation like Transcender. The forms and information collection methodology presented here could be useful in a real design perhaps but have little or nothing to do with what is on the test.
