Bottom line is, whichever book(s) you choose, always use at least 2 books from different vendors to get slightly different topic coverage, and then hit the practice tests and re-read the material you're getting wrong. If you can pull of a pass on Transcenders you will probably pass the real thing.
Server+ Certification Training Guide and Server+ Exam Prep .
I've enjoyed both of these. I also read Server+ for Dummies--not sufficent by itself, but a good introduction.
I tried reading Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, but it was kind of boring to me. Although it's a great reference with lots of info.
2) The Server+ Certification Bible (Wiley)
3) Server+ Certification Training Guide
4) Certification All-in-One Exam Guide
6) Server+ ExamCram 2
I used all these resources. I never read one book. Old resource like the Sever+ by Dr. Wiley laid down my initial foundation for the Server+. The pratice test in The Server+ Certification Bible and ExamCram 2 were priceless...
Excellent book. It is very easy to understand and address each Server+ objective one-by-one. It also clearly states common misconceptions, i.e. RAID 1+0 = RAID 10, etc.

Great material for $60 measure up testing cd and audio/visual learning cd included.
This worked for me.[/url]
I also used some Microsoft training kits for reference about RAID and my old Network+ book for cable lenghts and tools.

I felt that this book covered many of the foundational aspects of the CompTIA Server+, but as readily apparent that it is outdated and lacking in detail. It does not cover all of the criteria for the current version of the Server+ exam, but I do not believe that it should be discredited as being a great supplemental source of information. I just don't believe that it is enough to be the primary study material. I felt that this book was worth my $7 USD. It was a great buy used from Amazon.
People who seem to use this book in conjunction with the ExamCram Server+ appear to do very well, that is probably the best route IMHO.

I think it's good for everybody who likes IT job.
Beta results are due in Q3 this year, so it will probably be shortly after that.
The only thing I am aware of is the Jonathan Lau ebook available on Amazon.
Anyone recommend anything else?

would you like to share your Jonathhan Lau ebook with me, am planning to write Server+ Dec end.
thanks

You should be able to find them on Amazon.com, possibly in Kindle format. Also, consider CBTNuggets or TrainSignal as a training option. Considering the Server+ exam isn't super-difficult, that may be all you need to pass.

I have it, and it's not bad, but don't expect it to solve all your problems. You'll need reference materials. I'm using two other books with this plus practice tests. I already have A+, Net+, Sec+ so a lot of this test will be review.
