I used this book and MCSE:Fast Track, both highly rated, plus the Transcenders, to study for this exam and none of these came even close to what's in the test. I studied well for this and passed 5 tests previously, first try. This book is far removed from the scope of the test. I gave 2 stars because I think it is good for general information and will work well for reference, but don't rely on it for the test. There's nothing about ODBC errors and minimal about SMTP and NNTP configuration. It tells how to set up virtual directories and webs and so on, but leaves terminology unexplained. I learned too late that it is not extensive enough, even with the other 2 study materials, to pass this test. Not even Transcenders helped for this one.
