Customer Reviews

Editorial Genius

This book is a triumph and was invaluable to me. Obviously well crafted and superbly done, it is clear, concise, and 'user-friendly'. I am not familiar with Dunigan's previous editorial efforts, but I will be anxiously awaiting future works.

Good Starting Point

Using this book, I was able to find the areas that I was weak in. I then was able to concentrate on these spots more thoroughly. I then took the practice exam on the accompanying CD to finish off my preparation.

Best one for NT Workstation I've seen!

The CD that comes with this book is very helpful if you don't have a lot of access to monkey with the actual operating system. Besides the usual test engine (which lets you review by specifying as few or many objective catagories as you care) it also has a "flash card" program that is very unique. I know opinions vary easily in certification book circles but I am finding the content and layout to be very accessable.

This is a great book if you had hands on experience.

I have not taken any of the tests. I took this book and only answered the questions at the end of each chapter and passed the test the first time out with a score of 863, 705 was required for passing.To be honest with you, studing this book was the last thing on my list of things to do.

A decent guide for the 70-73 exam

Microsoft require you a score of 705 to pass the 70-73 exam, and this book cover 80% -- 90% material of the test. Which means if you read this book very thoughtfully, you will pass, however, if you want to get a score higer than 900, you'd better have more real world experience or to read other related books. This book is very good organized and well written. Chap 4(connectivity), chap 5(Running Applications), and Chap 6(Monitoring and Optimization) are the most beautiful part of the book. Chap5 can truly help you understand how to run applications on NT, this chapter does a better job than the MOC(Microsoft Official Curriculum). This book also does a good job on explaining the ' File delete Child' conception(page 189).This book has very little typos which are inevitable and acceptable. For example, in page 203, table 3.15, if you want to change permissions of a printer, you must have Full control permissions, however, table 3.15 shows that you only need have Mana! ge documents permission, not Full control permission.Another example, in page 397, table 6.12, the stop icon and information icon are misplaced.Very few questions offered in this book are not designed well(most of them are designed carefully). For example, in page 142, question no.1 and no.2 need to be re-designed more carefully. In page 230, the answer to question 12 should be B, not A, be careful.After all, this is a very good training guide, and it did help me to prepare for the 70-73 exam(passed with 980). I'd like to recommend this book to you.Rui-Di Chu (FREDDY) PS: This is not the only book I use to prepare for the 70-73 exam. I attended the class, read MOC, and an Exam Guide from QUE.
