 Passed the exam December 22, 2008

This book prepared me for the 70-642 test. I downloaded evaluation copies of windows server 2008 and ran them in virtual server. I found that reading the ebook (included) was easier than reading the real book (I ended up doing both). After reading the book, doing the labs and taking the practice tests in custom mode (so I could review the answers) I was able to pass the test.
I noted only one typo in one of the practice tests so I would recommend this study guide.
 Very good source November 23, 2008

This text book is very helpful for passing the 70-642 exam. It is easy to understand and the examples reinforce the lesson. You must have a copy of Server 2008 and 2 servers (or a virtual server) to complete the lessons.

This is a good book for learning Windows Server 2008 network infrastructure from the beginning, or brushing up what you already know from Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003. It is a long book, and yes, it is a bit dry (as one of the other reviewers said), but I wouldn't ding the authors for that. Let's face it, this material IS dry, and you can't really pump any sunshine into it to make it any thing else than that. Having said that, if you are really going to be a Windows networking professional, you MUST know this material thoroughly. I used this book as part of the material I studied to help me successfully pass the 70-649 Windows Server 2008 upgrade test, and it would be equally good to help you pass that, or the stand alone 70-642 Windows Server 2008 network infrastructure test. Make sure that you do the hands-on exercises. Set yourself up a training lab using either Virtual Server 2005 R2 or Hyper-V and play with this stuff until you know it well. You can read and read and read, but there is no substitute for getting actual hands-on experience, and with virtual machines, there is no reason not to get lots of hands-on experience. If you don't have a subscription to TechNet Plus (highly recommended for anyone who is a network professional), then download a free evaluation copy of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition from the Microsoft web site. There are a few mistakes and corrections that are cleaned up by an errata page located at: [...] Enjoy!

I you are planning on taking the certification exam will get you MOST of the way there.
Pretty Good June 11, 2010
Brian R. Valenti
Overall a good intro to Server 08 networking. I learned a fair amount on various Windows related subjects and there weren't Too many editing errors, and only one of the answers to the quiz questions made no sense after the explanation in the back of the book. Pretty good record for this type of material.
