From what I read over at www.amazon.com, the books seem to be piss poor. Is

there ANY truth to this? I'm definately looking to start studying for my

MCSE/MCSA. I am interested in purchasing the package of all books at one

time. Is there any truth to those reviews at Amazon.com?



If you read the books, how did you like it? What are your thoughts on what

was left out and what should have been covered a little more?

I don't no but Amazon isfamous web site. You are preparing for fresh M.C.S.E.

track or upgrade exams ? Microsoft press books are good . If you have computer

dont buy books. Download e-books from internet and enjoy ! E-mail me at

sco1984@gmail.com for more info if you r interested .



See ya,

My experience so far has been they are good guides for covering the

basics. I've only gone through the first two books thus far and both

were primary guides in prepping me for the 70-290 and 70-291 (passed

both on the first try). I have very few complaints - yes, they aren't

complete, and yes, they contain a few mistakes (check the MS Press page

for a list of errors for each book) but no guide covers everything or

is error-free.



Go through the books initially and then take some practice tests to do

some last minute prepping. There is a long list of "suggested reading"

topics in each book, and I'd definitely study the subjects that you

felt weren't covered too well in the books but are listed in the test

objectives (IIS, for example). But if you want a book that takes you

through a full active directory / domain controller setup, DNS, dhcp,

subnet masking (which I thought they did an excellent job on) and

beyond, these books are a good place to start.

I would suggest you actually pay for the books rather than steal them.



You should be hearing from Swen real soon Amey. Enjoy.
