    They're both good. If you can only afford one get the MS book though. Don't forget about the new R2 content and get Server 2008 R2 unleashed and use technet (a LOT)
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    I used the MSPress self-study guide, R2 Unleashed, and the R2 Pocket Administrator's Guide -- with a lot of technet thrown in. On 4/26 there's a new Sybex book coming out that's supposed to cover 640, 642, and 643 (all R2).

    Congrats Fizz!
    Go with what the others said. I used R2 Unleased and Technet primarily, followed what subjects were spoken about here, and googled the rest.
    Oh yeah, one more thing. Setting up your own practice lab is an excellent idea, in fact it might possibly be the most important thing.
