MCSE the Electives in a Nutshell

I bought both this book and The Core Exams in a Nutshell and found them both superb both for a general overview of each exam and as a reminder before entering exams.The book doesn't go too deep and should be used along side other more indepth reference books. Well worth the money

I used this book to prep for Exchange 5.5, Proxy 2.0, IIS 4.0, and IEAK 4.0. It wasn't my sole study guide, but rather as a refresher the night before the exams. If you're self-studying your way through (with plenty of hands on!) this is a decent book for the price. Never expect one book to cover everything for the exams, as you're short changing yourself. It took me 13 months to get my MCSE+I and CCNA, but I feel I know things pretty well. Take your time and learn it, not memorize it. Good luck!

this book is awesome. the first book i have read that cuts through all the bs and silly analogies. its certainly not complete but anyone who takes the ms tests after reading one book for each test is taking their chances anyways. i highly recommend this book as ONE very good source of info if your testing for your mcse.

This book help me pass the TCP/IP exam with a 933 on the fisrt try. This book is wonderful it cuts through the BS that the other big fat books give you to jack up the price. MCSE, MCP+I, CNA, A+

This book is not for the beginner to start learning the product. However, if you are just quite familiar with them, this one is the best summarized book. You will find out that there are many things you don't really know, then you go back to try, you will know. Tell you in more detail, I chose TCP/IP and Proxy as my electives. TCP/IP is okay, but Proxy is not that easy, after you read the book, you should try the server again. Anyway, I have to say loudly that I can pass MCSE in 2 weeks because of this ELEPHANT book and its companion Core In Nutshell. Don't forget to buy both of them, Core in Nutshell and Elective in Nutshell. GOOD BOOK DOES NOT NEEDED TO BE THICK. If it's possible, could the writer write MCSD in Nutshell, please?
