Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 11 reviews. Just Amazing..., 2009-02-17 Reviewer rating: Wow is all I can say!
What a book. If you are wanting to prepare for either 70-298 and 70-299 this is the resource for you.
The book is loaded with invaluable information, but it is written in a way that you don't simply get lost amoungst the pages.
If only Tony Northrup would author all MS Press books.
I heard rave reviews about it, but reading it myself was very enjoyable (considering how enjoyable IT textbooks are to read)
The wealth of knowledge covers all components of Windows Security.
Would Highly Recommend. | The BEST TRAINING KIT., 2007-03-20 Reviewer rating: People interested in buying this book must know it is out of date. It was released in the age of Windows Server 2003, without service pack one. So it does not cover WSUS, but SUS. It also does not contain information about SP1 improvements and now SP2, however, it is a book about planning and implementing security strategies, which makes it a book above the time.
If you have money and are interest in security, or if you are intended to pass the exam, buy this book.
The text is clear and comprehensive. The content is pretty amazing which demonstrates de knowledgement of the author about what he writes. Such knowledgement is provenient from his experience working with Windows in exposed environments.
This is not only a theoretical guide of security, but also a practical one. The excercises hep you to understand and record it in your mind.
Finally, buy this book. | A must..., 2006-08-21 Reviewer rating: I haven't read this yet. I'm still going through the XP book, but if this one is even close, this book is a must. An easy read and well laid out. The accompanying CDs are very beneficial also.
| Excellent guide, 2006-02-14 Reviewer rating: Any book from Tony is probably going to be good. This book is no exception. It is very well written and organized. It covers all aspects of Windows Server 2003 security. It is not quite comprehensive as you'll need the earlier 2003 Server books (or know those topics well enough) to fully cover the test. It includes good chapter summaries and practice labs. This book will also be useful to you as a reference after you have passed the exam. | Best study guide I've read yet, 2005-08-10 Reviewer rating: This book is an excellent resource and preparation for the 70-299 exam. I've read through a lot of exam books over the years and this is the one that prepared me the best. Upon finishing this book, you feel as though you really understand the material, rather than feeling that you still have holes in your understanding, as you often do with other books. This book is comprehensive, well-laid out, and has a lot of good practice questions in the book and on CD. Microsoft Training Kit CDs are often quite meaty, and this is no exception. I highly recommend this book. |
