Don't buy this book
I hate the format of this book. It's layout and the way that the book is organized totally detracts from it's content. And it's content is fairly week as well. It's basically just a bunch of questions that has in depth answers. I can't imagine that this book would actually help someone pass the 70-220 exam.I've been working with Windows 2000 since before it was release; administrating AD, migrating domains, and testing security aspects of it. I am very familiar with subject of the book and it is just poorly presented and explained.
I gave it 2 stars because some people may actually make use of it, but only combined with other books. Get something from the the Exam Cram or Exam Prep series, or from New Riders.

Not the best choice
I agree with other reviewers who said that this book has too much irrelevant information, which ultimately overshadows the core material that you will need to know to pass the test. The practice tests in the book are good but, of course, they test on material presented in the book. What good does it do to do well on the practice tests when you are testing on material that is not relevant to the exam? When I tried practice tests that were not in the book, I found that there were huge gaps in terms of the information that I would likely need to know to pass the test. Don't waste your time.

Decent Book
Since this whole concept is new to MCSE's of the past, I can see how some would find this book useless. I thought it coverered all the material well and was a good prep for the exam. Similar Products
