Faulty Disk :( 21 Feb 2012
By Stacey
Format:Paperback
Bit of a shame really. Book in good nick, however the disk is warped so therefore unusable - which is pretty much what I had bought the kit for. :(

If you look at all the other comments concerning this book then you will see that apparently this book was rushed out with loads of mistakes. Mistakes so critical that they would lead you to fail your exam. In the past, I have been quite partial to purchasing the Microsoft books to use for studying for exams, but this one has been quite different. I spent quite a bit of time going through the book and correcting mistakes, and I thought that was wrong. If I were you I would save myself the headache and purchase another book. The books published by Sybex are usually good. Microsoft, get your act together on all fronts!! (Apple is looking pretty fine...)

WIndows 7 Desktop Administrator 26 Jun 2011
By Mark R. James - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been using Windows 7 since the Beta release, and actively working with this OS since the RTM. I certified a long time ago, and I can tell you that after reading well over 3500 pages of technical reference material in relation to this operating system, this book has allowed me to learn about parts and features of this version of Windows that none of the others have (Yes, including the Resource kit). As technical reference books go, it written extremely well, and provides for a comfortable read. The eBook provided with the traditional hard-copy format is a welcome searchable addition to an indexed reference 'library'. Well worth the investment in time and expense.

Good for test prep 19 Mar 2011
By Eric Ruthenberg - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I read this book cover to cover in preparation for the test. While the actual 70-686 test I took had more difficult questions (50 multiple choice), I did feel prepared, and I passed on the first try. As with all exam prep material, you never know if they've changed the test since the book was published, so it's always best to supplement with other test prep materials. That having been said, the book and practice tests were more than adequate to earn me a passing score (in March '11).

Covers all the important topics 11 April 2011
By Kevin C - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
What's priceless is the exam topic map. It lists each category that's covered on the exam, then tells you exactly which part of the book to find information on that category. You can study one category then take a practice test on only that information. I would've paid $45 for that alone!

This is my first certification I'm going after and this book is getting me prepared really well.
