 • Not A Good Resource
03 April, 2008

This book is not a good resource for studying for 70-290. It covers a lot of material but leaves out all of the little details that are on the actual test. Unless you already know server VERY well and are just brushing up on a few general topics this book will not help you pass the test. The sample questions and practice tests are nothing like the Microsoft test. The book's questions are short and simple. The actual test is made up of scenarios and trick 'gotcha' type questions. The book assumes you have too much background to be useful to a beginner. It is too general and simplistic for someone with experience. Not really sure who (if anyone) would benefit from this book.

 • Another Good Study Guide But...
12 December, 2007

I'd combine it with other resources available. Personally I used this in conjunction with MS Press book on 70-290 and the Sybex book. Using all 3 you can;t go wrong. Exam Cram is good up to a point, do all the quizzes at the end of each chapter, it'll help reinforce what you should've learned from the first two. I used this one last to round off my learning. Can't say enough about study study study. It'll pay off in the end.

 • Great For Cramming
10 September, 2007

If you've never worked on a Windows 2003 Sever computer, then I would not recommend starting with this book. You'll pass the test but not know what to do in real life situation. Get this book only if you've had hands on experience, or have studied other material that's tutorial oriented before. The last minute cram sheet in the front is an awesome summary. You are not likely to find a summary like this anywhere else.

 • Passed With This As My Main Study Guide
01 July, 2008

I used the Exam Cram series to pass my SQL tests some years back. I'm finally starting to update my MCSE and purchased the exam crams for 290 and 291 (I haven't opened the 291 book yet). There are a handful of typos and mistakes (AGUDLP is referenced once in the wrong order) but nothing you'd miss if you have used the product before. The key is what others have said -- its a cram guide for the test, not a book on Windows 2003. If you have experience with the product, this will help you pass. If you are new to Windows 2003, you'll need more than this book. For example, command-line utilities like csvde, ldifde, dsget, dsquery and the like are covered along with descriptions of when to use them and what they do. Instead of printing out every switch and usage for each utility, it simply shows you how to get help (dsget /?). If you don't take a moment to check the syntax or don't understand concepts like piping ("dsquery user -name Tim*
