• Another Good One From Sybex 03 April, 2006
This book is a very good guide if you are looking to take the 70-290 exam. The topics covered align with what is covered on the exam but as always, you should use several sources when preparing for an exam.

• Sybex 15 November, 2007
Sybex technical manuals were recommended to me from an highly experienced instructor. I have to agree, the manual is very comprehensive. Not only does it include the book, but also, review questions, practice test, flash cards. It is also included entirely on a cd so you can read/study on your pc/laptop. I'm very pleased.

• A Great Book, But You Will Need More References To Pass The Exam 06 July, 2005
Sybex books are usually my favourite books for the exam.
The book is easy to understand and to read. It contains useful tips and tries to cover most of the topics required.
For this exam, my favourite book is the Syngress book, but after that it is the Sybex book. This book is the best book for the SUS chapter. It has great information for IIS, terminal services and printers.
Unfortunately the questions included are different than the exam.
I recommend to use practice tests like transcender or boson.
It is a really hard exam, if you want to learn and not to pass the exam, this book is recommended.
I recommend this book for beginners and as a reference book.
Experienced users will find some important tips on the book.

• Very Good Study Guide If... 05 December, 2007
You combine it with other methods of study. DO THE LABS- if anything, do the labs in this book as well as the MS Press book. The labs aren't as technical as the MS Press book but nonetheless will definitely help you in remembering steps to take when working with permissions, RAID settings, and so on. I used 3 books for my studies, and felt I got an overall well rounded foundation for taking my exam. I'd suggest NOT using just one book, MS Press is pretty technical, this book lays it out in more easier to understand terms.

• Not Perfect, But Still A Great Study Tool 18 April, 2006
Before you do anything, make sure you are looking at the 2nd Edition of this book. If the top of the book does not say "Updated For Windows Server 2003 R2", then this review will probably not be helpful.
I should probably tell a little about my background. I earned an A.A.S. in Computer and Information Science early in 2005 and I have spent the last year working as a junior administrator for a small company. We have a mix of Windows XP clients and Windows 2000 servers. In addition to passing this test this morning and the Windows XP in March, I also have a couple of CompTIA certifications.
I found the book to be an excellent study tool. They chapters do a pretty good job of explaining all of the topics. The practice tests were pretty good as well. Some of the questions were a little too simple while others were very similiar to what was on the real exam.
I gave the book 4 stars because while I couldn't have passed the test without it, there were topics on the test that were not covered in the book. There was also a question on one of the included practice exams that was programmed incorrectly; it marked the correct answer as wrong. I would recommend to anyone about to take to test to use this book as a guide, but I would also set up a test server and do the exercises on a real machine. That's really the only way you can practice for the simulation questions.
