Waste of money if sole intention is for taking the 70-290. You're better off with the Admin companion or inside out 2003 book. Sections on Groups is horrendous. The worst part is how 30% of the practice material is not even covered in the book! Funny how all the practice questions themselves reference the admin companion/technet and not the book. Again, don't waste your money on this "training kit"

This is an excellent book that will prepare you for the exam. I used it as my only source and passed the test on the first try. The 70-290 is a very easy exam but regardless of that the book prepares you very well.

This product is far superior to the proscribed Microsoft course books that you will get in a classroom setting. I basicly tossed them aside and concentrated on using this before I took my exam. Guess what, I passed with flying colors! Take this book and run, It's the best source out there.

Great written book, easy to understand and if you are new into windows 2003, then this book will be a good way to begin with. Then, if you want to pass the 70-290 exam in your first try please do practice,practice while reading it.

This book is a little strange organized(chapters order) and some exercises cannot be completed due to additional configration steps needed that were supposed to be done in prior exercises, but they were omitted. Not to mention there is no chapter for GPOs.
