 MCSA/MCSE Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-214): Implementing and Administering Security in a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network (Pro-Certification) $59.99 My review of this book is somewhat conflicted. While I would state it would make a good book if you did not know anything about Windows 2000 Security, I find that it fails as a preparation for the 70-214 exam. I read some of the paragraph length sentences to others at work, and they too got a chuckle out of it. The simplest of items are presented in a wordiness that would make reading Our Mutual Friend or even War and Peace akin to glancing through the Sunday comics. At the same time, many items that should be the meat of the book are glossed over in an almost trivial manner. If this were simply a training manual, it would have received 3 or even 4 stars. While Windows NT 4.0 Server can be considered archaic, not even a full page in this text is given to security concerns during the upgrade procedure from NT 4.0 to 2000. I would heartily suggest brushing up on upgrade issues for the exam if this book is to be your sole study guide. With only 50 questions on the exam, it would not take many NT 4.0 questions to blow your chance at passing the 70-214 exam.  Administering IIS (5) $48.95 Not very technical. If you're a beginner this book helps get your feet wet. If you any experience with IIS look elsewhere.Byron Giles www.gilestechgroup.com |
