 Working on your MCSE? Then get this set of books July 18, 2006

This was my sole study guide for the MCSE Server 2003 based certification path, and I was not disappointed. The format is clear and easy to read. The books do a fantastic job of outlining WHY you are learning something, not just WHAT you need to know to pass the exam. I think this is what sets MS Press books apart from the competition: the book itself is structured to the best LEARNING format, and NOT to just passing the exam. I came away from these books with a much greater appreciation for Microsoft's Server and AD technologies (I come from a Linux background since 1995 and I'm the first to knock MS), and these books will be on your reference shelf for years to come -- or at least until the next version of Server ships.
It took me since August, 2005 until August, 2006 to obtain my MCSE. These books are BIG. You'll find yourself re-reading chapters multiple times. First to get the content, then to do the practice questions and end of lesson/end of chapter questions, then finally to review the end of lesson/end of chapter summaries right before writing the exam. But don't be discouraged. The knowledge that these books impart will allow you to THINK through the exam questions, rather than just basing it on memorization techiques.
If you're going to do your MCSE and really want to LEARN, then get these texts. If you just want to pass the exams and never work on Servers, then look elsewhere.
Well Done. July 10, 2006

I've belonged to the Unix world since 1993, working with low level stuff as kernel, device drivers, virus, assembly, C, etc.. and now I'm trying to learn Windows a bit and have enough conditions to take all tests (290, 291, 293, 294). No problems. This a very good kit about MS Windows 2003, well written, well organized and deserve 5 stars.
Dan Holme worried with all details for us and provided a clear text about MS Windows 2003. Stay calm. It's very easy to take the
exam.

MCSE Training Kit Great for MCSE Exams January 9, 2007

I am very pleased with the layout and content in these books. A year ago I took the 70-291 Exam and failed. I had used the Exam Cram 2 books to study, and they did not prepare me in ANY way for the scnenario based testing that Microsoft has moved to. Basically the questions on the Exam Cram tests are no longer than 1 sentence questions with multiple choice answers. Microsoft has moved to scenario questions. You have to read a paragraph then answer questions and generally solve problems with issues in the scenario. In other words, you really have to know your stuff to pass these tests. These books prepare you for the new exam format, and almost 25% of the book is dedicated to example test questions, which are exactly the same type you will find on the exams....
Great Buy February 2, 2007

You can almost recoup the cost of these book with the exam discount coupons inside. The trial software is also a +.

All I can say is these books are excellent. This package is all you'll need to pass your MCSE cert.. I highly recommend it...it's very reasonably priced considering the gain in salary you'll expect as a qualified MCSE.
