What can I say? It's a big, chunky tech book. I didn't read it because I wanted to. I read it because I am studying for my MCITP Server Admin 2008 certification. The authors present the material in a thorough and systematic way. At the end of each lesson, there are practice exercises in which you perform the actions using the various server components you've just learned about. As a part of a certification study strategy I think the book serves its purpose.

It is a great book. Unfortunately, there are too many errors in the Lab-Assignements at the end of each chapter. And if you're not careful, those errors may not only confuse you but hinder your progess too!!!

For a Microsoft book, it's not too bad.

Nice information but nowhere near enough to pass the test.
