Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment [With CDROM]

I never got around to reading it but I did get to read the handy Caram Sheet found inside the cover. I also took the time to look at some of the questions found in the book and the table of contents. The questions and the content seem to cover the exam very well. I believe this book is sufficient to pass the test. I passed with a score 850.

I just started reading the book in preparation of taking the 70-290 exam and found the depth of coverage excellent along with many easy-to-follow examples. Well-written with great information on troubleshooting bottlenecks.

I studied this book and made up some flash cards. The book includes two practice exams, too. I also took one "Prep Logic" practice exam. On the day of the test, I was really sick (throwing up), but I still managed to pass the exam. I am amazed that these books only cost around $20. I don't know how anyone can complain about $20, but I think these books (The exam cram series) are a GREAT value.My recipe for success: These books + some hands-on experience + extra practice exams = pass everytime

"Over the years I've read countless books of this kind in preparation for tests. After reading the books and then taking the exams, I've invariably been pretty disappointed with what the book actually provided me with. Even when I purchased several different books, I've usually come up short in one aspect or another. This time around I only bought one book, and as it turns out it was all that I ever needed. This book is a comprehensive resource. The presentation is straightforward and concise, yet detailed enough to give you precisely what you need to know. As with all such books , it assumes a certain amount of prerequisite knowledge on the part of the reader, which I found to be totally consistent with my own level of mastery. I was generally fairly comfortable during the exam itself, and again, yes, I passed, so I guess that says it all!"

It took me about 2 months to work though this book, and it was worth every minute of it. I used this book and a small at home lab I set up to test out some of hands on work before writing. All of this and the TWO practice exams PLUS the PrepLogic exam that is on CD was the best tool I needed to pass the exam. And pass the exam I did. I've been a fan of the Exam Cram series for years and again they have not disappointed me. There may seem to be a lot of information to cover... but it's all well worth it. Thanks Que Publishing for helping me out yet again.
