MCSE Internet Information Server 4 for Dummies [With *]

The errors annoyed me. Since they were only in the answers to sample questions section, they were somewhat harmless. But I wish they had edited the book more thoroughly. One other compaint I have is that there is quite a bit of repeated information. Hey man, just because it's the dummies, I don't need to hear the information 10x. For those of you who like getting spoon-fed information with humor and lots of repetition to ensure your understanding of the material, this is the book. For the unpatient who want concise information just to pass the exam, I recommend something else. I'm not sorry that I got the book, but I somewhat wish that I had gotten something else. Besides, this is one of the easier exams.

In my opinion there aren't a lot of well-written Study Guides available for IIS-4 at this time. This is one of them. Mr. Isiminger's writing style actually makes this book a pleasure to read. The two sample tests (with complete explanations) at the end of the book provide an excellent review of the material.

I have read David's "Inside Windows NT Infrastructures" and found it an immense source of information - so it was with great joy I discovered he had written this MCSE study guide. It not only helped me pass the exam (5 of 6) but also has become an invaluable reference source in the real world as well. I completely recommend this book, as with all the screen captures and detailed analysis it prepares you to handle both the written and practical questions that make up the IIS 4.0 exam. With David's practical knowledge and sound advise also included in this book it also serves to become one of the best reference tools for day-to-day dealing with IIS 4.0. Buy this book - you won't regret it.

I am new to the IS world but with new changes coming everyday it is hard just knowing where to get started. In spite of the title it never made me feel dumb. In fact it answered alot of questions you never want to ask around the shop. It is not all I am using to study but it gives a great foundation to learn about IIS4 and highights important parts of the exam. It is not strictly a set of study questions the author goes to great lengths to explain the subject matter. I guess the only thing bad was the title, my fix was to spend 5 bucks at Kinkos to get new covers put on so nobody knew (maybe it was a vanity thing). Great book David, you did your job well to make it understandable for the "average Joe" like me to understand

Failed the IIS test twice after studying with other books. Bought this book and plunked down the dough for Transcender questions and passed!I've purchased a total of three Dummies books for three different exams, and they have not failed me yet. I am a fan!Anyone who wants a study partner, email me!
