The book is certainly a good read and for any System Administrator I would recommend grabbing a copy but you shouldn't rely on its content to get you through the exam! The 2nd Edition of this book has been announced on Microsoft's learning portal and I've been waiting for it to hit Amazon for six months! Given that I was three exams in to my MCITP, I gave up waiting and set about Technet in an effort to gather as much knowledge as possible to give myself the best chance of passing. Thankfully I did pass but only by drawing on this book and reading hundreds of Technet pages to update my knowledge to R2 - something this book simply doesn't cover.
Grab the book for reference if you want but if you're going for certification, wait for the 2nd Edition.
As security is now a major Microsoft focus the exam- and therefore a reoccurring theme throughout the book- considers how to design in security through Network Access Policies, branch deployments, Public Key Infrastructures and data security. The section on security policies and how to set a security baseline is a real call to arms to actually implement rather than just learn to pass an exam.
The major enhancements in Windows 2008 - and obvious exam question choices- Read Only Domain Controllers Terminal Services and Virtualisation- are all well covered here.
All these areas are backed up with scenarios, lesson summaries and practise tests. There are labs to families yourself with the new Windows 2008 features using the accompanying CD.
This is the one book you will need to get you through the 70-647 exam. Enterprise Administration is at the top of the Microsoft tree, and in order to pass such an exam there is a lot of detail in here for the experienced professional that requires to be read thoroughly as a result.
I liked the "real world" examples given by the authors, and also the test and review questions at the end of each chapter.
Covers all you need to know about the new Windows Server 2008. Highly recommended title.
