If your intention is to pass the 70-291 test, don't waste your money or time on this book. It is an embarassment to the Exam Cram 2 series. It covers perhaps 60% of the test objectives in a very mediocre fashion. (In the future, I will be reading Amazon reviews *before* I buy the book!)

This book is not for the 70-291 - 2005-08-23

Other reviewers seem to have chosen the wrong book to review for some reason. I find it hard to believe that they can write a competent review on any book given the fact that they can't perform a simple search and post more than a few sentences on how they dislike a book that if read for one exam is probably not going to have a great deal to do with the other. Seems rather silly to me.

Covers the info if you can weed through the fluff, don't use the CD - 2005-07-31

The book covers the information but does not lay it out in a form that is clear and concise. I will give you an example. The FSMO roles that DC's host can be seized if absolutely necessary, causing you to reformat the server. However it does not go into these in any reasonable detail. It skims the surface and leaves much to the imagination on what can be seized without messing things up and what can't, like the PDC role that can be seized but does not require a reformat of the original server.

Also the software that came with this book is BAD. I would say 90% of the questions are accurite and should be believed 100% however there was a question on FSMO roles like the one above that blatenly stated that if a PDC role is seized that the server must be reformatted completely. That is completely WRONG and both the Exam cram book and the microsoft references acknowledge that as being incorrect. So don't trust the sample tests from the software that comes from this book!

The worst! - 2007-05-31

This is without a doubt the worst 70-291 preparation guide in the entire world! I know this sounds very absolute, but you are not getting any value from this book at all. Just don't waste your money and get something else altogether.

Good review material before test day. - 2007-01-05

I would recommend this book to anybody that is about to take 70-291. I would say a word of caution though about this book. It is truly intended to be a suppliment to actual training from either a interactive self-paced class like Test Out or Prep Logic. If you try to pass the 70-291 with this book alone you may run in to difficulty. Also, I would recommend exam insurance from Microsoft if your testing center allows it.
