This book is very good, I used this book and I pass in the 70-215 exam with a "860" score! But you have to use some additional tools like "TRANSCENDER" (...). The CD that comes with this book is very good but it is not enough.I found a lot of good white papers in TECHNET (...) and Microsoft Windows 2000 Official Home Page (...).The Group Policies, Forests, Domain Trees, OU's and Security Groups chapters in this book are not good enough you have to read additional material to get a real understanding of these topics, you will find these informations in the sites described early.
EXCELLENT!

An excellent book - however (as with most study guides) real-world experience is a must. This book encompasses a lot of information, some of which you will not find on the exam, but I used this title along with the transcenders and passed! I've also used the Win2k Pro book from Syngress with success and plan to use the rest of the series to finish off the Win2k MCSE.
GREAT AUTHORS

I have read this book from cover to cover and it teaches Windows 2000 Server very well. The authors of this book have created a masterpiece. The book not only helps prepare an experienced MCSE for the test but also could be used as a desk reference as it contains many hands on exercises and explanations. The CD is wonderful...much more comprehensive and thoughtful than others. The price is right. If you are new to Microsoft networking you might find most topics in this book difficult to understand; furthermore, I would highly suggest using more basic study materials first and GET SOME HANDS-ON TRAINING!!!
Excellent Value

I picked this book up as my primary study resource for the Server exam, and am really glad I did. I really liked the way this book is laid out- quality objective coverage, with enough hints as to what I *really* needed to know to pass. I liked this book so much that I just picked up the other three Syngress MCSE 2000 study guides for the Core exams.
Two Thumbs Up

Excellent coverage on RIS, DHCP, WINS, DNS, etc. There are a TON of hands-on exercises in this book which really helped cement certain aspects of the OS for me. (A bonus was that most of the exercises were also shot in video, and included on the CD- If there's any confusion at all you can follow along on the CD)While i have not yet braved the new MCSE exams yet, I really believe that I'll be better prepared due to this particualr book.
