My employer bought the Sybex MCSA/E set for me. Just curious if anyone has read the 291 book. According to our vendor, apparently the set of MS Press books were discontinued...

    Amazon still has them.
    Decide what to be and go be it.

    I used both the Sybex and the Microsoft press book. The Sybex was at best, review. It's missing at least 1/3 of what you need to know for the exam.

    This is the one I bought a few months ago. Seems to still be in stock:

    Amazon.com: MCSA/MCSE Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-291): Implementing, Managing, and…

    Edit:
    But to answer the OP...I've not read the Sybex book for 291, but I did use the one for 290, and it was great. I imagine the Sybex for 291 would be good as well.
    Excellence is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities.

    They do but our vendor is cdw and the publisher told him that the set is discontinued. I should just buy them on my own on amazon and ask to be reimbursed.

    Or just take the hit. I don't know how good the other book is. (Dan says not so good.) Even a free book is still useless if it is missing 1/3 of the information.

    On another note, I wish my company paid for my testing materials. Someday....

    I agree, I used both Sybex and MS Press. I found Sybex easy to understand but missing a lot of material. MS Press and CBT Nuggets helped me, with Self Test exam sim.

    How does the Sybex compare to the Syngress?
