The first reviewer was right on mentioning the many typos in this book. A majority of books I read have one or two here and there; a missing letter, a misspelled word, but these are mainly novels, not study guides. A misspelling or a wrong word here can make the difference between crasping a concept or completely misinterpreting the idea.

If you buy this book, you might as well throw out the "File Services" chapter. It's basically one big misprint.

If you know what you're doing, this book will work for you. If you're new to the field, I would recommend buying a more complete...a more Edited book like something from Microsoft.

After using the Exam Cram book for 70-640 and passing the test I enthusiastically purchased the Exam Cram 70-642. I'm only a couple of chapters into the book right now but felt compelled to offer a comment. Did anyone proofread this book? There are typos everywhere! Sometimes, a typo will cause major confusion. "I'm sorry, did the writer just say it will ping or it won't ping?" Also, the second chapter's practice exam is MISSING AN ANSWER! No #8. I'll finish this book and do my best to fill in the details. I have 11 years of Windows networking so I'm not thrown, but if you're coming in green I would steer clear of this book for now.
