MCSE in a Nutshell: The Windows 2000 Exams

Publisher	O'Reilly
Author(s)	Paul Murphy
ISBN	0596000308
Release Date	15 February 2001

As certifications for computer and network professionals go, the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) rating may be the most widely recognized. That means that if you're going to invest time, money, and effort in earning a certification, the MCSE may give you the most career yield. MCSE in a Nutshell: The Windows 2000 Exams is the latest version of O'Reilly & Associates' MCSE preparation guide, updated to reflect the new MCSE requirements that came with the release of the Windows 2000 family of operating systems. As always, this book represents excellent value. It covers everything Microsoft says you need to know to pass core and elective exams in the MCSE battery.

Michael Moncur and Paul Murphy succeed in making this book space-efficient by minimizing overlap of coverage among chapters, each of which addresses the contents of a single exam. This book also counts on its readers having either a lot of Windows NT/2000 experience, or access to a laboratory network (or, preferably, both). Though the book contains a fair bit of explanation of terms and concepts, this is more of a study guide to accompany experimentation than a tutorial on its own. The authors seem to believe that hands-on experience is the way to learn Windows 2000. You'll find sample tests to gauge your learning, with minimally annotated answers. --David Wall

Topics covered: The subjects on the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) suite of exams, including those on Windows 2000 Professional (70-210), Windows 2000 Server (70-215), Network Infrastructure Implementation (70-216), Directory Services Infrastructure Implementation (70-217), Directory Services Infrastructure Design (70-219), Network Infrastructure Design (70-221), and Security Design (70-220).
