Rating: - MCITP training kit
Put this 3000-page training kit together with Stanek's 1500-page Windows Server 2008 Inside Out book and you have everything you need for the exams. One-stop shopping at its best. Stanek's book has the authoritative details, the nitty gritty, the tips and real world advice. This training kit puts you on the training path to Exams 70-640, 70-642, 70-643, and 70-647, maps out the objectives and gives you practice and review. Whenever I had a question or wanted more information one or the other came to the rescue. My only question is how come this kit is $229 for 3000 pages while a book like Inside Out is only $59 for 1500 pages. Surely Microsoft should bundle a print copy of Windows Server 2008 Inside Out at NO EXTRA COST with this expensive training kit to give a complete offering. Other than that, I think this is a good buy.

Rating: - good book for what it covers, not complete for test purposes
A good book for learning about Windows Server 2008!

It is reasonably easy to read and presents topics in an understandable format. As with any book, it is impossible to ask questions or get a subject presented differently.

As a professional trainer (Microsoft certified), I warn students that no one source of information will cover all the material that Microsoft tests you on. This book is no exception. The Quick Check questions and end of Lesson questions are very week compared to what Microsoft will test you on. The CD with practice exams was not available, so I cannot comment on the level of questions present. From past experience, the CD's practice questions are equally week.

Pros:

* A well written book for general learning.
* Comes with a CD containing an e-book for when carrying the book around is not practical
* Contains minimal errors

Cons:

* Not sufficient as a sole learning source ... Read More
