If you are completely new to networking, then this book may leave you with the feeling that it was too "skimpy". If however you have an understanding of networking you will probably love it. [....]Overall, I think this is a great book. If you ARE new to networking, I suggest reading their tcp/ip book first. And if you are taking the exam you may want to read troytec (or whatever they call themselves now) in conjuction with this book. But I think this is a great nook!
I feel like I just keep on writing the same review!

I just can't say enough about the Coriolis products for the MCSEs. Exampreps, Examcrams, and Labsims are all you really need to pass the exams.If you need more check out the Syngress Hardcover guides and the Syngress Test Yourself! Series.
Use this as intended and you'll pass

I passed 216 today on the first try with this exam cram, the MS Press study guide, and the Resource Kit. The basics are all covered well. IPSEC was covered well, at least as well as you need to know for the exam. This is worth the money, although admittedly it could have been a little stronger in one or two areas (Certificate Server being one of those).Before you buy it, though, make sure you understand one thing - All of the exam crams have one goal: to be used as your study guide AFTER you've spent about a month using other materials. They were never intended to be sole study guides. For instance, this one doesn't go into subnetting because you're SUPPOSED TO ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO IT! Instead, it tells you how to use the subnetted addresses...get the picture?
