McSa/MCSE: Windows 2000 Network Management Study Guide: Exam 70-218 [With CDROM]

THere are a few things I would change with this book, but, like the other Sybex/Chellis/Donald certification books, these are the standard. This MCSA exam covers a wide swath of topics, so take it last. You'll see a lot of overlap. Know group policies. I even saw and active directory question on the exam, and was a bit surprised. The book did a good job preparing me in general.

This book cover everything you should know before attempting to pass the 70-218 exam assuming that you already study and passed the 70-215 exam. It goes beyond the scope of the exam in the area of intra and inter-site active directory replication (at least for the exam that I passed) but it helped me to understand the overall concept. The explanations are simple but effective (not lile the microsoft book).I also used the sybex tcp/ip jumpstart book who is very good at explaining the concept of subnetting.

I already had the sybex core 4 for MCSE, but i decided to become an MCSA first, so I bought this Book. It is very well organized and easy to understand. However, this is not a new book. It is made of a selection of chapters from the MCSE core 4 Books of sybex.I passed the exam using only this book, so no matter how they did it, there is no doubt that those guys at sybex know how to prepare u for an exam.

Once again, Sybex raises the bar on its certification titles. A very comprehensive title that not only helped me pass the Windows 2000 Network Management exam, but also taught me the skills I need in my every day job. This is more than a test prep book.
