Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment Second Edition Exam 70-290 by: Holme and Thomas

Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment Second Edition - Exam 70-290
Dan Holme and Orin Thomas
Microsoft Press
ISBN 97807356228
90

This was the second book I used to prepare for this exam. The first was Craig Zaker's. Both had advantages - both had disadvantages. The disadvantage of this is its shear volume. It has so much material (all of it good) but if you are working on a time line it is a lot to work through.

This book presents extensive exam preparation materials, going through section by section the requirements of the exam. It will help you learn to think and answer in "Microsoft speak".

There are lots of materials out there if you just want to pass a certification exam, crams, sims, testking … but if you really want to learn the materials, you need to work with it. This book with its wide range and extensive exercises will help you learn hands on. It is an excellent resource, and will be a reference book I use for years to come.
