 Training Aid May 19, 2008
P. A. Rudin (West Palm Beach, FL USA)
This book was essential for me as a reference for an MCSE boot camp. It is now part of my reference library. Will answer many questions that pop up during the study process.
Most of planning and security feature discuss in this book... August 9, 2009
Roath Kanel (Phnom Penh, Cambodia)
As I complete this book, this book was focus on planning the network infrastructure and security feature. But you need to read additional book in order to cover most of security feature in windows 2003 such as the book of Windows Security and Windows 2003 PKI and Certificate infrastructure.
I feel this book has less practice thant the previous exam (70-291).
 Not comprehensive, but definitely worthwhile November 7, 2006

I currently have my MCSA with relatively little experience(comparatively speaking). Therefore, I knew I needed to be thorough with my reading for this particular test. A lot of what's in here is stuff I've never dealt with hands on(ie Clusters, NLB, RRAS, and CA). That said, I figured the most comprehensive route would be LearnKey training videos coupled with a cover to cover reading of this book. I've heard the second edition of these books are much better. While this book does do a very good job covering all the exam topics, it's fatal flaw is that it mentions nearely nothing about dealing with legacy systems within a AD Infrastructure. I was horrified to discover about 10-15% of the questions(and even a simulation) that require you to maintain support for NT4 and Windows 98 clients while simultaneously requiring you to meet the requirements for security or GPO assignments. The book only mentions these OS's in passing really, and says nothing regarding how you handle these scenarios. Needless to say, I was very unprepared for these questions despite a good solid month and a half of comprehensive preparation. However, I did pass with a 775, and if you can find something else to make up for this lapse in coverage(be it experience or another book), you can ace the exam with a thorough reading of this book. Just don't skip the practice questions at the end! They may be tedious and not be anything like the actual exam questions, but they actually do a very good job focusing you on the things you should know for the exam.
I thought this book did ok for me.... May 5, 2009
Ever Learning (TX United States)
I passed my test using it, but I am a "lab nut" so I tend to do all the labs and then some. I currently hold MCSA in Server 2003 as well and do have experience in it so maybe that's why it just seemed easier for me. My test did cover NLB and clusters quite heavily and this information imparted to me in this book paid off as I was ready. It could go more into GPO's and how to do all the little "ins and outs" of them, I had a couple GPO sims that I kind of winged my way through only because I had done some playing around on our home network in trying to get it all down. So yeah, you'll have your MS bashers on one hand and your MS praisers on the other, so read all the reviews; go look at it in person and see if you think it'll work for you before buying thru Amazon (like I do.... :-) ). Formulate your own opinion and don't neglect the end of chapter questions and scenarios and labs during the chapters.
Getting an MCSE 2003 the long way. February 4, 2008

Well it got 3 stars since I passed and it helped, BUT
1. the book is lacking in the material and needs to be augmented with extra material.
2. There are a lot of small mistakes in it that make you doubt yourself.
for example wether subnets are calculated as 2^n-2 or 2^n.
3. Get the CCNA PDF for help in understanding subnetting as the book is bad.
4. Use wiki\cisco website for understanding routing
5. Download windows server 2003 security guide as the book is lacking here too.
6. read the IETF's to get papin and chapping your lips :- ).
7. A lot of questions in the test regarded clustering for some reason.
and there is no clustering book around. and the book gives you no idea
about how to understand quorums. so for this just pray to allah\jesus\jehova or install servers and play (What I did).
8. You must download VMware workstation and clone like 8 Servers
and practive everything. from CA to DNS to relaying and vpn ing.
9. download Vmware's manual and understand how to create SUBNETS and NETWORKS using the interfaces (Add interfaces ) and VMNETXX.
Have fun.
Finally got rid of the MCSE2k3
Saar.
