My Humble Opinion 10 April 2008
Format:Paperback
I just bought this book set to start my journey through the MCSE exams. In preparation for exam 70-290, my initial exam, I have taken quite a few practice exams and much to my horror, I have found that this book is lacking in information. I am now rapidly scrambling through the internet and other sources to get the "complete story" on information that was not covered in depth here. The story is the same here as in any other IT study guide that has been reviewed - USE MORE THAN ONE SOURCE. Trust me...

This set of books whilst well written and fairly easy to follow, do not contain enough material to cover the exams. I have found that there are some quite large gaps in the material and certain things that are in the exam are not covered at all in the books.

Personally I would stick to the Microsoft self paced training kits, just check the reviews that other people have left for them first, the majority are quite good but a few have been lacking in information like this set of books has.

Good, but you'll need more to pass the tests... 18 Feb 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I'm pretty fond of the Sybex books--They're well written and tend to explain things fairly well, however these books are often lacking in detail. The books don't cover some topics at all (ie: Expect a visual basic question in 70-291, yet it's not covered at all in the book) and the upper level books really rehash some of the earlier topics by a copy and paste methodology. For instance, although some topics in 70-293 overlap 70-291, it focuses on planning, which rehashing the 70-291 material doesn't help with. New topics in 70-293 are barely covered (Just 30 pages for clustering, which deserves much more!) I've taken to reading these books first as an overview, then reading the MS-Press titles for the nitty gritty details. The included questions are weak, expect questions about 5 times as difficult on the actual exams... The 70-294 book is about 420 pages, while the MS Press title for 70-294 is almost twice as thick... Not that MS Press titles are good reading, the assume you already know what they're talking about. The point--I haven't found a silver bullet for these certs, but these are a good start.

Excellent!! A SOLID foundation for a BIG field. 23 Jan 2004
By "kinsley2" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I'm probably unusual, because I bought this kit AND the upgrade book. However, this kit was just indispensible, because there are sooo many topics you need to have understood and integrated in order to become an MCSE: Active Directory --sites, domains, users and computer, replication. IIS, remote desktop, resource management. TCP/IP, routing, DNS, DHCP, IPSec. Clustering, certificates, load balancing....You just can't get that kind of understanding casually, or even just by working with certain parts of the OS...you need a full course. Sybex was recommended to me by an instructor in my first class as having the best reputation and being the bestsellers, and I'm glad he told me.
