Gives you a good outline view of IIS for exam study
I've used 6 other Exam Cram books to help me pass MCSE exams all on the 1st attempt. IIS 4 Exam Cram is a concise overview of the product. It focuses on the major points covered by the Microsoft exam. The authors state clearly that the book is not designed to be your only source of information. The book however does cover every area of the IIS product. The screen shots of the MMC are very helpful. The omission of the ODBC error messages is not a big deal. I only had two of those type questions. My advise is use the Exam Cram as an outline for areas to study and use the online IIS documentation to flush out the details.

This is a good book but review Microsoft's exam guidelines!
This book plus the Transcenders testing software is a good combination to pass. Those two with a little hands-on and you should pass this test. I got an 854 out of 1000 on the test without too much effort. DO read up on ODBC error messages (SQL) as it was heavily tested. This book does not delve into much depth on that subject. Otherwise a good buy, especially used.

Pretty thorough but check out the exam criteria on Microsoft
I passed the test with an 854 out of 1000 using only this book and the Transcenders plus some hands-on time in IIS 4.0 . My best EXTRA piece of advice is to go to Microsoft's web site and look at what the exam will test on. I got a lot (3 or 4 out of 55 questions) of ODBC error messages questions (SQL) on the version of the test that I took (non-adaptive version) and this book did not delve very much into this area. Other than that, it was very good.
