What a shame! I used to rate the Exam cram books, but 70-291 fails to deliver. I used exactly the same study program (read through twice and ensure 90% scores in the practice exams) as I did with 70-290, but I failed this exam. I suppose you have to wonder when the book is a third shorter compared to 70-290 when the exam is actually 30 mins longer.

It only covers about half the material in the exams.. It misses out huge swaythes of the exam material.. Spend a little more and get a better book and save yourself the cost of a retake!

I was very happy with the exam cram series until now

I was pretty disappointed with the material that covered DNS. This is major section of the exam, and this is what made me fail twice. I barely failed both times, but the DNS questions were much more complex than what was covered in the book.
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of experience with DNS because our org doesn't use Windows DNS, so I think that hurt me, too. Someone with a couple of years experience with DNS might do fine, but try to get another source if you don't.

Covers the info if you can weed through the fluff, don't use the CD
31 July 2005
Format:Paperback
The book covers the information but does not lay it out in a form that is clear and concise. I will give you an example. The FSMO roles that DC's host can be seized if absolutely necessary, causing you to reformat the server. However it does not go into these in any reasonable detail. It skims the surface and leaves much to the imagination on what can be seized without messing things up and what can't, like the PDC role that can be seized but does not require a reformat of the original server.
Also the software that came with this book is BAD. I would say 90% of the questions are accurite and should be believed 100% however there was a question on FSMO roles like the one above that blatenly stated that if a PDC role is seized that the server must be reformatted completely. That is completely WRONG and both the Exam cram book and the microsoft references acknowledge that as being incorrect. So don't trust the sample tests from the software that comes from this book!

The worst!

This is without a doubt the worst 70-291 preparation guide in the entire world! I know this sounds very absolute, but you are not getting any value from this book at all. Just don't waste your money and get something else altogether.
