Format:Hardcover
While Roberta Bragg is undoubtedly very good at her job, this book does leave one or two things to be desired. On the one hand, it is a superb reference for the budding security expert, but on the other hand, it seems to flick between assuming that you know where the most obscure windows server schema settings are,but that you don't know how to perform routine tasks like configuring an active directory user account.
Still, it does say at the beginning that you should be VERY familiar with the windows server 2003 OS.
The only criticism is that the lab exercises and explanations could do with some polish and the missing first few steps of each procedure actually stated, for exmple, change GPO setting x, would be more complete with "in container y of node z".
Otherwise though, generally well worth a look.

It seems many reviewers don't understand
27 April 2005
Format:Hardcover
The purpose of this book is not to teach you the technical aspects of security in Active Directory, rather to teach you best security practices in use and deployment of this technology. The 70-298 exam should be one of the last you on the MCSE track. Microsoft assumes that you have already taken your workstation and core 4 exams by the time you get to this one.
That said, the book is helpful but not comprehensive, in helping you prepare for this exam from a CONCEPTUAL, not technical perspective.

Thorough Review
15 July 2004
Format:Hardcover
Unlike some of the other opinions that have been written regarding this book, I found it highly useful and would certainly recommend it to anyone who does not just want bare memorization material for an exam, but truly desires to learn about Micosoft security.
I have three MCSE's, and I have just obtained my MCSE: Security on Server 2003; and, I will keep this book for continued professional reference.

Horrible Book
10 Feb 2005
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Usually, i really like the training books of MSPress for Windows Server 2003 - But this one is an exeption.
The Problem with this book was, after i read a chapter, i knew exactly as much as before. This is not because i am a security-guru (really i'm not) , it is because of the bad writing style. Sometimes it isn't really clear what the writer wants to say with the lessons and if he takes the reader serious.
Another Problem with this book, it is full of so called "considerations" and "guidelines" instead of a serious, stong security training (most of them are really useless because they are so obvious that you know those even without the book).
I strongly recommend to do not use this Book for 70-298 Training, even if you are a fan of the MSPress series. It's not worth the money.
