Thanks Bill for this book, honestly it's much better than the part 1. I passed the exam by getting 81%. Readers! please don't 100% rely on the sample questions on the CD(This is not a MS exam), but they give great support. GREAT book, hope there will be a book by Bill for network administration as well in the near future --Cheers--

I passed Part 2 today due to the Solaris 2.6 Administrator Certification Training Guide, Part 2. This book was actually an improvement over the Solaris 2.6 Administrator Certification Training Guide, Part 1.

The practice exam on the CD-ROM was much better than the one included in the Solaris 2.6 Administrator Certification Training Guide, Part 1. If you don't have the SunEd course book (I didn't) then the Solaris 2.6 Administrator Certification Training Guide, Part 2 will be invaluable. This book covers everything you need to know in enough detail that if you read the book twice, you should pass with flying colors. Thanks Bill!

There is demand for a study guide for the Solaris Network Administrator Certification, I just hope one is written by Bill Calkins!

I Failed With This Book - 2000-04-08

I used this book and memorized ALL the practice questions. Questions aren't like a Trascender exam simulator. I got a 640 on first attempt. I then studied the original course material and focused on the objectives, then got 900 on second attempt. If you have the original course material, use it. If you don't, then don't rely on the practice questions being transcender-like. I even mastered just about all the practice questions on the Internet that I could get my hands on. Apparently, it wasn't enough.
