Summary: Excellent book
Rating: 4
I am a newbie to the IT field. I have no experience whatsoever with WIN2000 products. I am familiar with WIN98SE that is it. So I was a little worried about a self-paced program. I ordered the book. Best decision I could have made. If I find the book easy to follow then you will too. Do I recommend you use this book exclusively to take your test? Of course not. Instructor led classrooms wouldn’t and neither should you. However, if you are planning to prepare for the certifications on your own and are willing to use the information available on the WWW or at the library to supplement your studies then I highly recommend this book. I have not taken the test yet. I’m still not ready, but I KNOW that I will do well with the help of this book. Good luck to you in your own studies. We’ll be collegues soon enough!

Common sense tells us that who would know more about a product then it’s inventors. Who whould be better to teach us about that product then the inventors. Well Microsoft has not and does not believe in common sense. you rely on this book to pass the test or to know anything pratical about 2000 and buddy you’re in for a world of hurt. It leaves out significant details and aspects of 2000 that are need for a complete understanding of 2000. Yes, what little detail and knowledge it prvides are accurate, but they are so few. Old Billy Gates again with a half attempt like everything he does. It seems their idea of common sense is: Well we charge $135 a test and sell the book for $45 and since they’ll never pass the test on the first or second try then we’ll make a bundle. Save your money and save your time. Buy the Sybex book for preparation for the test.
Summary: by FAR, the worst certification book i’ve ever read
Rating: 1
this book is by far the worst certification book i have ever been through. it is not simply worse than the rest, it is orders of magnitude worse. concepts that are glanced over are covered in detail on the test. this happens multiple times. the only reason i passed the test is because of the study questions i practiced with. there is no excuse for not covering the information, since microsoft also wrote the test. they know what is going to be asked. they should cover it.
Summary: It’s a start

I could fill a book with what is not explained or is surfed over in this book. You probably should buy it, but look for supplementary material. I used this book in a class structure. But had to buy two other books to get a well rounded picture of the Windows 2000 client O/S.
In case you are wondering, I took and passed the big test. Further, I still use this book as a reference, but only for general information. For detail, I use "another book" by a famous author of Windows 2000 books. This does not bode well for the content of this book. But without the structure of this book; don’t risk your hard earned bucks seeking Microsoft’s blessing.
Summary: Passed the 76-210 REFRESH Win2k Exam with this book!
Rating: 5
Very good book. Easy to work with just one computer with this book. I passed the 76-210 REFRESH Win2K Exam with this book and the Exam Cram2 Windows 2000 Professional book.
I followed almost all of the labs in this book on one computer. Great labs. Didn’t notice any big errors in this book. Saw some earlier concerns about the Index of this book. I just followed the chapters cover-to-cover and the test was a breeze. I think there might be some "sour grapes" about not passing the test and blaming the book. I never even looked at the index to see if there were errors
I passed the 4-hour, 76-210 Refresh Win2k Exam with this book in less than 3 hours. I would strongly consider this book if you are on a budget, have one computer, and want to pass the Exam. Plus there is a 15% off the Exam coupon in the back.
