Disappointed May 9, 2003
5 out of 13 found this review helpful

To much bread and not enough meat. Hard to follow, limited illustrations. Material is out of order. For example: The book has you load the operating system and then look into NTFS permissions and security. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you, until much later, that you must have joined a domain inorder to see the Security Tab. So a reader spends time searching for the security tab. Finally, after researching the internet I found the necessary step. After about 10 pages of further reading I stumble on a note that tells me how to access the security tab. I judge a book by asking myself if I would buy it again. Well I would not buy, or recommend, this book to anyone.

A one stop shop to a solid XP Professional foundation February 13, 2003
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

From installation to the word dreaded most by admins, maintenance, I found MCSE Windows XP Professional to provide a solid foundation that will ease your way past those notorious MCSE tests and sharpen real-world skills to boot. It is certainly difficult enough to pass the certifications, and although I don't believe any single book is going to remedy that, MCSE Windows XP Professional can at least provide an organized roadmap that highlights what you'll encounter. The book divides the main duties an IT professional is responsible for into concise chapters that demonstrate the linear steps required to install a system from scratch and, more importantly, to maintain it once its up. Each chapter's preface outlines the core objectives as bullet points and then elaborates with a detailed chapter outline and recommended studying strategies. Within the chapters are useful notes as well as exam tips and warnings. Although you might be tempted to skip past the chapter exercises, they too are well organized and reinforce the primary objective, and that is to pass the exam. Also, considering that this is exam preparation material, the easy layout facilitates holding onto this book long after the blanks are filled in and the certification test is a memory.

An excellent reference manual for XP. August 14, 2002
23 out of 27 found this review helpful

Working for over 14 years in this industry every now a then I get to do more than just review book after they are published on a few occasions I get to see the book before it his the streets. This book is one of those occasions, what I found is a book that was given a great deal of time and effort in producing.p pOver 740 pages in this training guide, which can be used both in the classroom as well as self study making this a very handy reference manual to have around. I found this book had to be written m those with many years of experiences as there is an abundance of field tips laced through out the book.p pWith over 100 exercises, a final exam, chapter exercises, review and exam questions in the book you cover topics like installation, configuration, management, troubleshooting, hardware and software setup and much, much more.p pCoupled with the cdrom which has Exam Gear software with over 150 questions you have one of the better books around. Overall the book does meet and exceed the exam objectives and also provide a handy reference tool for any technician.
