Book recommendation

Hi,

What book would ppl recommend for the 291 exam? ive always used the MS books and found there quality varied from exam to exam, ive also used the MS MOAC 291 book which i found rather poor. Ive heard sybex is good.

Any suggestions before i commit to buying?

cheers

G'day,
I cant stress these books enough for the 291. Definately get the Exam Cram 2 for 70-291 located here....

The other book, that simplified the MS Press book hugely was Sybex..

The other resource I loved was the CBT nuggets for the 70-291 although the guy had some seriously lame jokes.....

Good luck

When I first started to do CBT Nuggets for the MCSE 2003 track, I couldn't stand the guy. His name is James Conrad. Trust me, you have to get used to him. I've watched several different CBT Nugget instructors, and I can honestly say, once you get used to James Conrad, every other CBT Nuggets instructor will disappoint you. James Conrad is one of the best instructors I have ever encountered. He explains the material VERY well, doesn't waste your time with watching him type (pauses/unpauses so you don't have to watch useless stuff/etc). So in short, I wish he taught every course I need to learn.

I have to say, that for the VALUE, the exam cram is a nice resource to have on hand. I also used MS Press's training kit, but what I really like for all of the MCSE exams is the Windows Server 2003 Adminitstrator's Companion, 2nd Edition. Not a training book, but it has EVERY THING in it... even WSUS.

Good luck,

Mr. Ye

With the sybex does it include practice exam questions and practice labs to go along with the chapters like the MS stuff has?
