Product Description
Product Description
Suitable for one of the "core four" required MCSE exams - this title covers implementing, administering, and troubleshooting Windows 2000 Professional.
From the Back Cover
-Exclusive "Exam Watch" features point out the most frequently missed questions - and how to answer them correctly
-John wants to monitor all the processes, services, and drivers that are running on his computer. He'd also like to see the process name, process ID (PID), the percentage of CPU time being used, and the elapsed time using the CPU and memory usage. Where is the best place for John to view this information?
Answers provide in-depth explanations - and show why the incorrect choices are wrong, as shown below:
-John wants to monitor all the processes, services, and drivers that are running on his computer. He'd also like to see the process name, process ID (PID), the percentage of CPU time being used, and the elapsed time using the CPU and memory usage. Where is the best place for John to view this information?
A. System Monitor
B. Task Manager
C. Scheduled Tasks
D. The latest System Monitor log file
B. Task Manager can be used for different tasks, and allows you to monitor applications, processes, and different performance statistics. Task Manager has three tabs: Applications, Processes, and Performance. The information above can all be found under the Performance tab of Task Manager.
A is incorrect since System Monitor is not the best choice here. All of the requirements can be accessed in one area of Task Manager. The Scheduled Tasks utility does not offer this information, making C incorrect. D is incorrect since the latest System Monitor log file does not contain all of this real-time information.

This book has helped me focus on what is important for the 70-210 exam. It has gone a long way in securing my pass. Full of advise, question with long answers and Lab section, which all help to get you thinking in the right way.

This book presents a large number of questions in the same scenario-based format that you find on the actual MS exam. As final preparation for sitting the exam it is helpfull to get your mind thinking about things from the right perspective. This book certainly achieves this.
There are several errors in the book, some of which are so simple as to be unforgivable, e.g. wrong minimum system specifications. I personally find that spotting these errors improves confidence in my own knowledge; exactly what you want before taking an exam. However, errors are errors, and readers should be wary of taking the answers as gospel.
That said, the answers provided are quite comprehensive and probably the best feature of the book. The authors make it easy for you see exactly where you are going wrong.
I would class this book as FINAL exam preparation, something that you should only read a day or two before sitting the exam. In this context I give the book 4 stars. As a longer-term study guide, I give it less than 2!

Excelllent book for MCSE and IT folks
24 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
I must confess that I was first attracted to this book by its price. $13.99 for a 2k "MCSE" wanna to be books! I set out one-day to skim over after received from Amazon. I must say what a bargain. Don't let the price of the book fools you. This is an excellent and well-organized written book. The author attacked all subjects (11 totals) outlined by Microsoft 2k Professional study guide.
At the beginning of each chapter, the author gives a short but precise and direct summary of what will be covered or expected on the test for this particular topic. And what about that "Exam Watch" thing, it is a short paragraph that pointed out certain things needed to watch on the real exams. This feature is so thoughtful and definitely a big plus for 2k MCSE wanna to be. Furthermore, the author gives (in every question/answer) a clear explanation of why this is a correct answer instead of the others. I really really like this book. After one-day skim over, I must say love at the first sight!
And finally, as a bonus there is a 50-pages glossary. I have never seen any book in this category that has a glossary. Let alone 50 pages!
As a CNE (what is that?) and "pre-2k" MCSE, I have done all my study materials by self-face. This book definitely will be the one for my 2k Professional study material. As a 10 year IT veteran, I would strongly recommend this book for all Microsoft Windows 2k people. It has so much detail technical information that IT folks will find it useful reference material for day to day dealing with 2k. As a veteran adjunct faculty for a nationwide technical institute, I would strongly recommend for my students.
Impressive achievement!

It's OK.

Format:Paperback
I would like to say thanks to the author. This book help me to improve my reading comprehension, which is really needed for new MCSE 2000. I am a programmer and new to MCSE world! I just love to pass Windows 2000 exams!
I took exam 70-210 in my first try and passed with 800 (620 is required). This a good book for last week before taking actual exam, and I recommend Microsoft Readiness for more advanced topics. I also saw some questions from examsimulators.com demo in the actual test!
There are lots of questions in this books (Required Result, Optional Result, and Proposed Solution), but I did not see on the actual exam! Just be aware that there are a few typos in the book too.
I can guarantee if you correctly answer %75 of sample test in the end of book, you will pass the actual exam. Good luck.

Excellent Review Book
14 Dec 2000
Format:Paperback
I am preparing to upgrade my MCSE to Windows 2000 and am currently reveiwing my preparation for the Professional exam. I must say that this book is an excellent review book for anyone who is seriuos about writing the exam. At the same time, I must warn that this book will dissapoint anyone who wishes to pass the exam just by memorizing questions.
This book and other Test Yourself books in the newly designed series by Syngress have certainly an edge over other review books due to their unique presentation style. The questions in the book are performance and scenario based and much like the questions we find on the exam. This book will not only help me pass the exam but will also prepare me for any challenging assignment in the field.
The practice exam in the end is very helpful for a self test. This book if used with the Syngress study guide will definitely be a wonderful combination for the MCSE Win2K exam.
Absolutely the best preparation book for MCSE Windows 2000 exams!!
