First of all, I really get a kick out of the so-called experienced Administrators and their comments. Any of you have had at most a little over 2 years experience with these products, which hardly allows you to be condescending to your peers! It's foolish to chastise others for their approach to furthering their marketability. In fact, I applaud those who are trying to find information sources to help them get certified. It is very difficult to have a job diverse enough to get exposed to every product. That being said, this book is by far the worst of any study guide I have used. After reading, I was no better prepared or had a deeper understanding of IIS than before. The Sybex and New Riders books are better when it comes to the MCSE electives. Here are my recommendations for study guides (I am both an MCSD and MCSE): NT - the IDG book that covers all 3 is the best NET ESS-New Riders TCP/IP-Also New Riders SQL 6.5 Admin-Sybex
