MCSE Readiness Review, w. CD-ROMs : Exam 70-217, Microsoft Windows 2000 Directory Services Infrastructure, w. CD-ROM

The questions mimic the style of those that appear on actual MCSE exams and make extensive use of line drawings and other visuals. Answers--as is appropriate to this book's objective--aren't much more than statements of the correct answer and (very briefly) why. Each chapter includes a list of further reading to which a test candidate might refer in order to bone up, but the reading lists, unfortunately, include only Microsoft Press titles. References to other publishers' products, as well as to Microsoft Knowledge Base articles and other online resources, would make this book more valuable. --David Wall
