Excellent !
Having studied MCSE 2000 I used mostly Sybex but was impressed with the one Microsoft book I did buy so I plumped for Microsoft for this exam and I am glad I did. I have gone through the whole book; it is excellently written with clear explanations and diagrams and is not confusing in the slightest. I have not even got to the CD yet but even without it I am sure I will pass my exam easily!
Thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who maybe is not 100% clued up and so just needs that little bit extra detail in the explanation to get through. Perhaps if you are already an expert you would not want such a voluminous book but would want a more concise version just to focus on the changes from 2000 only. But all in all a worthwhile and (dare I say it) enjoyable read and study!
Questions and Answers are very clear also.
Happy Studying!!!

Excellent book!
I think this book is a one of a kind. I have previously read all the MCSE 2000 books and was disappointed to find the same topics come up book after book (i.e. for 70-216 exam you had to read over all the stuff about user accounts that you were taught in the 70-215 book, in order to pick out a few gems that would make the difference in for the exam).
I think the way this book is written is rather useful, i find the hands on exercises throughout the chapters very useful, and would advise anybody to grab a hold of VMWare or Virtual PC (and a gig of ram if you dont have one). Set up a few difference DC's in different forests and such and have a play around with your domain and forest trusts. I find the VM's were very useful for disk management (where you can emulate a machine with up to 8 drives and create all types of partitions and volumes) and would recommend its use for any kind of study requiring multiple machine.
A useful way to get around the activation is to install a server on the VM and take a snapshot immediately, you can then clone this machine for any future domain controllers/member servers etc that you wish to create. You can then revert the initial server to the snapshot when the activation nears expiration and now you have a full 30 days or whatever to make new clones of.
MCSE 2003 On its way
YEP ... this does the trick ... good to follow, tips n pointers ... expect to require further reading on certain chapters before you move on to the next ... this book wont let you skim through ... its what you need for yr MCSE 2003
