buy it!!! 6 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
this is a really excellent book written in plain easy to understand english. its easy to understand the concepts of folder and file permissions along with the more demanding parts of windows 2000 like domains, trusts etc. it is a real bargain for the price. i am well on my way to becoming mcsa certified after reading this clear, precise and well explained book.

I recieved this kit earlier this week, and couldn't wait to get started. Firstly I was disappointed that the exam offer of 15% off expired in 2003. I read the introduction and decided to install the practice assessment CD, it installed but wouldn't work (kept getting script errors) I eventually found a patch on microsoft.com after much searching of the knowledge base, and only after searching for the isbn no. of the book, this problem was due to installing a microsoft hotfix for XP.
Apart from this I have worked through the first 5 chapters in 70-210 and found this an easy to understand and informative book. An economical way to gain the knowledge for the exams. But only 3 stars due to the lack of exam discount and trouble finding the patch.

Microsoft is working to help you pass with this set. 24 April 2002
By Michael J Woznicki - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
MCSA is a new set of exams that Microsoft has added to the technical arena. I have begun to study for the exams and this set of books is a certainly going to help. While this set of books covers the 70-210,215,216 and 218 exams and is self paced there is a few minor updates needed.

In book 1 the 210 exam, you learn to install, configure and administrate 2000 professional. You will work with hardware, desktops configurations, MMC, the control panel and troubleshoot. You have plenty of exercises to enhance the learning process.

Book 2 the 215 exam, again you install, configure, administrate only this time it is for the server. Along with that you create shared resources, optimize, implement policies and troubleshoot, and again with exercises to show you what to do.

Book 3 is the 216 exam, here you will learn about TCP/IP and the utilities like WINS, DNS, DHCP and others. Also you take a look at central and remote control management as well as security and communications.

Finally comes book 4 the 218 exam, and in my opinion this book seemed to be the toughest to learn, which is why I am re-reading it. You manage resources, setup storage, rights and permissions as well as configure and troubleshoot.

There is a cd included which has practice exams for each exam, but for the money there should be more included. Also a 120 day evaluation copy of the 2000 server is there, I also think 2000 Professional eval should have been included as well. Overall a few improvements and you have a great learning tool.

Some imporvements, still a little more work needed. 26 Dec 2002
By Michael J Woznicki - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Since beginning my quest for the MCSE or MCSA I have been searching for the self paced study guide that will make it easier for me to learn without breaking the bank. Back in April I looked at the initial release of this package, I found it to have several useful features and there were some updates needed.

One thing need was a copy of Windows 2000 Professional and it is still not included. While the server is included the time limit of 120 days may not be enough for some and therefore this feature needs to be expanded.

I like the updates to the 70-218 book as it has been improved over the last version, but the 70-210 book seems thin as compared to the previous release. I did use the 70-218 book in a class I taught in New Jersey and had fairly good results.

Both the 70-215 and 216 books seem to have some updates, but for the most part they remain the same as before. Each book does map to every objective, and each book does have enough work to keep you busy so for the person trying to break into the IT industry this would be a good place to start from.

For the more experience technician you might find some of the books lacking but there is still things you can learn from them. The cds included, now there are two, have the 120 license of 2000 Server. The other is practice exams and e-books; again I think that the practice exam should be increased.

Overall there is still a few improvements needed, one thing the authors may want to consider is updating the books more like the Microsoft Resource kits or the Inside Out books, which a jammed packed with information that far exceed the actual exams.

Finally, these four books do make a good training tool but you do need other resources to help you along the way. If the next release fixes and updates then the kit would become a go to reference set.

Great Guides!!! 26 Dec 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I used this set of study guides to study for my MCSA and easily passed the exams averaging 90% in each exam. I read each guide thorougly and played alot with the Windows 2000 OS to get my grades. The study guides were very indepth in its coverage of each exam and the testing engines were very similar to what i saw in the real exam. The books came with alot of detail plus great summary info on each exam objective...unlike other study guides the Microsoft Press has put heavy emphasis on practical use of the OS to study for the exam...if you are looking for an exam cram style guide that will summarise everything for the test then these books are not for you...BUT if you are after something that will force you to do alot of hands on excercises plus give you indepth coverage then get these study guides. I'll recommend these if you want to really learn about windows 2000 not memorise something quick to pass the test.
