MCSE is the largest and fastest growing certification today. With everyone looking for the best possible training material to work with and understanding the cost involved it is certainly a pleasure to see Sybex taking the forefront to produce a trainer that gives you the ability to study without costing a fortune in the process.
This virtual lab runs on Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP and there was no install problem encountered. It comes with an evaluation copy of the Windows 2000 software, a lab manual with over 175 simulation exercises.
With the 70-210 labs you'll install, configure and setup profiles, accounts, file management, desktop changes and more. The 70-215 labs are tailored to the Server exam where you can setup accounts, rights and permissions among other things. This section was a big help for me not having a server to work with.
The 70-216 exam of Network admin, takes on exercises to help you work with TCP/IP, NWLink, DNS, DHCP, WINS, RAS, Nat and a host of other services. Finally the 70-217 exam for Directory services, covers active directory. Most of the exercises were beyond anything I had encountered before but I am finding that they are very helpful in an understanding of AD services.
Overall one of the best and most complete trainers I have seen so far and with the Sybex books as a backup reference you have an unbeatable combination.
