Book Description Discover the powerful enterprise networking capabilities of NT Server as you prepare for the NT Server in the Enterprise exam--a core requirement for the MCSE certification program. This study guide covers every aspect of the NT Server in the Enterprise course, including installing, configuring, and administering multi-server and multi-domain networks. Hands-on examples help you learn, and a sample testing program, supplied on the companion CD, provides questions similar to those on the actual exam. | ||
Reviews | ||
Beware of this book's coverage of roaming profiles I generally found this book to be informative and accurate. There are a lot of repetition from companion Sybex MCSE books, though. The book's coverage of user roaming profiles, though, is completely wrong. Please pay attention to this. | ||
Don't judge the other Sybex MCSE books by this one! I've just passed this fourth exam of MCSE and I'm really glad I left a few days before taking it, to go through other tests from other vendors and the MS Readiness Review book. It was then that I discovered that this book covers about HALF the detail you need to know! This was quite a surprise - the Sybex NT Server 4, Workstation 4 and Net Essentials books have been excellent. This book overlaps far too much info with the NT Server 4 book, about 70% I reckon, whereas the test overlaps about 10%. In summary, an excellent book if you haven't read NT Server 4, and you don't need to pass the exam for which it was intended to be a study guide. | ||

It serves its purpose I think the bad reviews about this book have been unfair. First of all, NO single book is the panacea for the test. You will always need some complement, be it a cram book or a source of exam simulation questions. I bought this book and also the MCSE Readiness Review from Microsoft Press (ISBN: 0735605394, read my review) and passed the adaptive test without a sweat. There will be more benefit from this book if you have already taken the NT Server test and you have the material still fresh in your mind. This book covers adquately all the exam objectives. The highlights of the book were: Trust relationships, Netware Connectivity (Migration tool for Netware), Macintosh Services, multiprotcol routing, DHCP, WINS, DSNS, TCP/IP and troubleshooting. Only two topics were not covered as expected: Network Monitor and Performance Monitor. They missed other tiny (but important)details regarding how to enable the disk counters for RAID (diskperf -ye) and the name of the Win 95 policy file (CONFIG.POL vs NTCONFIG.POL). Many questions showed up on my test related to these topics, and that's were my "backup" book came in to the rescue. Overall, this is and adequate book. Don't hesitate to buy it. Make sure to weed out the errors by visiting the errata section on the Sybex web site. Also, don't forget to complement it with with a cram book and/or a source of exam questions (as I did). Recommended. | ||
Not perfect, but a good study guide. I've read a total of 3 NT Server study guides. I couldn't say I passed the exam without help from this book. This book did help me pass the exam. However, there are a few objectives that are not covered in the detail needed to pass the exam. Questions at the end of the chapters are a bit too easy. Would buy it again, but for this exam you need more than one book. | ||
