Summary: Used to study for the Server+ exam, what a real surprise.
Comment: What makes my job so much fun and exciting is that every day new technologies are coming out. To keep up with these changes and to make sure that the best qualified people are hired you need a certification process to measure skill levels.
Having taken the beta exam for Server+ I wish that I could have had this book as a study reference as it shadows the exam objective perfectly. The 500 page book is being considered as my book of choice for the Server+ classes I teach.
Broken down into five parts, with part 1 covering planning, from groundwork to environment to systems. Part 2 is the install and configuration section with coverage of firmware, drivers, NOS, hardware and associated peripherals, monitoring and documentation.
Part 3 is the upgrading section for memory, hardware add-ons, system backups, power and processors. Part 4 takes the proactive maintenance road with backup plans and general housekeeping techniques.
Finally part 5 for troubleshooting and several pages for common problems. The cd-rom included is the Microsoft Encyclopedia of networking and the entire book in electronic format. Overall a very good value for the money.

Summary: Good technical Server+ book
Comment: You won't find much difference in the dryness of this book as compared to other offerings from Microsoft, but if you can make it through the book, you will find that this is a one technically accurate resource. Everthing dealing with servers is covered from planning, installation, configuring, upgrading, maintenance and troubleshooting. The backup chapter is excellent just for the diagrams and written information alone. The book also includes many lab exercises that a reader could do which is atypical of the other Server+ books available. Okay, now the bad news. The included CD-ROM is useless which is typical Microsoft Training Kit fare. This is not an easy book to read as I found myself zoning out during the more drier parts of the book. As I mentioned earlier, there is great information found throughout the book you just have to reach it. Lastly, if you can live with the subtle pro-MS slant you'll do fine. I would recommend an additional Server+ book (one that's easier to read) if you choose to use the MS Server+ book as your main study guide to round out your exam preparation.

Summary: Good but not great
Comment: I just got back from a $[money] learning experience. While I enjoyed reading this book, it lacked the detail that many of the SERVER+ Exam test questions required that you know (or guess well) in order to pass. I'm hunting now for another book because I can afford just so many $[money]-shots to my budget.
