This book together with the "MS SQL Server 7.0 Test Success" helped me to pass the exam on the first try. Nonetheless this is a tough cookie, and you'll have to use the actual product a lot, a lot, a lot. I highly recommend this book.
From a recent MSCE in Argentina

Well. Before I bougth this book I take the Administering exam 4 times... and fail. I didn't take any M$ course, I did it by myslef. I use an Osbornde book that sucks. Then appear the Sybex Administering book and my life changed. A lot of hands off exercises, a clear text and some little mistakes, but the book is excelent. If you use this and books online, and perhaps some exam test like Trancender, you may pass the exam, that is so hard. Well, I did it in 2 weeks with this book and passed with 780/680. Now I'm MSCE and next I'll be MSDBA
It's accurated and coverd a wide range then MOC

I passed 70-028 using Sybex SQL Server 7 administration study guide with MOC & Books On Line. I think that the MOC was good for detailed in some areas. But it's not sufficently detailed for preparing exam... BOL was great for mastering SQL 7. But, you know, it's hard to find someting you want. So, I thought that Sybex Book was accurated and coverd a wide-range of topics. It's easy to read. Good coverd for a wide topics. Prepare it for Hard exam!!!
Best in the market at that point

This is the best and readable one compare to the Syngress, New Rider and MS Press. However, should use this one with Transender.
Excellent book, lots of hands on.

Highly recommend for anyone interested in MCDBA. The book reads incredibly well and is very thorough in its contents. If you have SQL Server 7.0 set up on your PC at home, you will find the hands on approach in this book to be an excellent way to learn. Yes I'm sure it has errors, why should this book be any different than the other thousand or so computer books on the market.
