The Best Book for Preparing for TCP/IP certification.
When preparing for the TCP/IP exam, I read both Sybex, and New Riders books. The New Riders covered exactly what was on the exam. It was much more detailed and to-the-point. It really got down to the nitty-gritty "what you need to know". It is definitely worth the money!

Authors Know SMS well - needs to be redone for 1.2
I felt the book's content reflected a deep and practical knowledge of SMS on the part of the authors. This book is actually a very good overall planning guide for SMS. Most third party references focus on operations and gloss over site planning issues - yet these are the most important if you are consulting. The book definintely needs an update for SMS 1.2 and the SMS Installer. Success in the SMS test hinges on having a very unpractical level of knowledge of all the complex and interlocking SMS configuration requirements - "small" differences between 1.1 and 1.2 could mean failing the test. This is still the most effective reference for the 1.2 test if you cross-reference it with other resources (product manuals and classroom materials).

Don't waste your money!
Technical problems with the book. It has many technical and SPELLING errors. Read that again: SPELLING. Our company is shipping back twenty copies of the book. It is also very dated. It is for NT 3.51 and for SMS 1.1. If you simply must buy the book, then I have some land in Florida that you would just love!
