Funny you mention that because I had to skip through chapter 1 and now and chapter 2 and I ran into what you see below. 293 is going to be the most annoying with all this recap of detail.

"Print Servers

Print servers are used provide access to printers across the network. A benefit of print servers for administrators is that they provide an added level of manageability for network printing. Print servers allow you to control when print devices can be used by allowing you to schedule the availability of printers, set priority for print jobs, and configure printer properties. Using a browser, an administrator can also view, pause, resume, and/or delete print jobs."

Yes okay thanks. These Microsoft tests should have prerequisites so they can assume you know this kind of information from the previous tests.

I decided to give Transcender a shot right off the bat for this one just to gauge how much new material there would be (from 291), and I averaged about 90% with everything besides PKI/Certificates, NLB/Clustering, and some of the WINS and wireless stuff. That Syngress book has a lot of information, but it really drags on. If you get to a section you know, just skim it. You really don't need to refresh yourself on things like print servers. Later on, you'll get back into basic performance monitoring stuff that was covered in 270/290.

So after you remove all the nonsense you get the MS Press Book right

Pretty much. The Syngress book has more real-world information. I whined about the MS Press book here: http://techexams.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31740
