MCSE Windows 2000 Directory Services Infrastructure Study Guide (Exam 70-217) [With CDROM]

This book contains all that is neccessary for Exam 70-217. I recomend it any time for anyone looking forward for success

I passed 217 with plenty of room to spare using mainly this book, in addition to a test network. This book, as the rest of this series, explains all the topics clearly and with plenty depth. And it isn't so dry that it will put you to sleep (same with the rest of this series). I used this series through 8 of my 15 MCP certifications, and was very pleased with them all. (And I've never failed a certification exam). This is truly a great series...

I only used this book to pass in the 70-217 exam, but you have to use some additional tools like transcender simulates. The real exam has 63 questions and you have approximately 3 hours to conclude it.

As always happen with Osborne books, there is nothing intresting in the CD aside from a single test set, without even a test engine software and even you may find wrong answers. No random question/answer and nothing.The book is quite good, it covers almost all you need for the exam and also offers good practices for daily tasks. If you completed server and ws. and has the basic experience of Active directory just go through this book and you will be ready for the exam.

I just used this book for preparing for Active Directory exam (70-217), it's really a great book covers everything you will face in the exam. the book is well organized and also the CD has alot of useful practice questions, and one complete practice exam although it doesn't like the real one but it's just good.
