Wonderful Resource

If you have been putting off getting your MCSE and am anything like I was, "Next month I will start preparing for my MCSE.". However, I had no place to begin.This is the place to begin. Buy this book, READ this book, and you WILL have a better knowledge of computer and network basics.If you are currently working in this field, you'll even understand some of the things you've troubleshooted in the past - it all comes clear.
If your not a computer geek....

I am not the most educated person in the field of computers or networking, but I am not the stupidest either. I build computers on the side and got interested in getting my MCSE. I got this and 3 other books, this book really starts with the basics. If you are getting your MCSE, you will need more than this, however this will definintly prepare you for the acronyms and vocabulary you will find in more advanced books, so that you will know what they are talking about. It is a priceless reference to me and find myself referring back to it time and time again. I have 2 books of the Sybex MCSE titles and they are both very good, I have not rated the other nor will I mention it now because I have not yet finished it. If you want to get your MCSE I recommend this book. It is fast easy reading and barring what it deals with is the most attention grabbing non-fiction book I have ever read.
this is a 10 star book FOR NEWBIES TO NT NETWORKING

I AM A 56 YEAR OLD TRUCK DRIVER WHO DECIDED TO BECOME A MCSE. WHILE TAKING MY CORE COURSES I FOUND MOST ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED IN THE FIELD AND WAS VERY, VERY LOST.. THANKS TO YOUR BOOK I HAVE FILLED IN MUCH OF THE BLANKS IN BACKGROUND EXPERIENCE. THIS BOOK WAS SUCH A FIND FOR ME..I HAVE GIVEN THIS BOOK TO MY 15 YEAR OLD SON TO READ TO PREPARE HIM FOR A CAREER IN NETWORKING.. WOULD RECCOMEND A CD-ROM/SEARCHABLE DATABASE ADDITION WITH A ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NETWORKING TERMS AND CONCEPTS.. WHAT A GREAT BOOK!
This book is worth at least 6 stars!

I am a programmer for a small software company. Besides programming, I also do training and I fly places and install client/server database engines (and our app) on various networks; which means that I end up troubleshooting misconfigured networks. We have tech support people who talk to IS people at different companies every day. I have recommended to my boss that he buy a copy of this book for every one of our techs. This book uses clear language and covers all the relevant subjects. It is well-organized and almost free of errors. Kudos to Lisa Donald!This book is destined to be a classic.Who's saying this? A guy who's an MCSD and a Sun Certified Java Programmer.
Excellent preliminary review for beginnning MCSE study

This book is an excellent introduction to the vocabulary and concepts needed prior to starting an MCSE study program, particulary for those with no computer background. Easy to read; painless; good diagrams and glossary.
