Summary: Bad format, Wrong Information
Comment: Watch out for wrong information. There are so many mistakes in this book. For example almost all of chapter one is wrong. One thing that is blatantly wrong is under the minimum system requirements (page 3) says for 2000 server its a minimum of 256MB Ram, actually its 128MB, 256MB is only recommended. That is just one of many many confusing mistakes.
On top of all the wrong information, if you are using this as a study guide to certain tests, then the format will confuse the heck out of you. When I want to study for a certain test (70-210) I want to know everything I possibly can for that test and not get messed up with other information not on that test. This book merges all 3 tests together and has them spread throughout the book.
Do not buy this book, you will spend more time checking their answers and trying to fumble through the format than you will actually spend studying.

Summary: Watch out for incorrect information.
Comment: At first I was fairly impressed with this book. It has lots of pictures that help you reference exactly where you are in the steps of instruction that they give. There were a couple of obvious errors in the first chapter (800x60,Windows 200) that concerned me a little, but were not too alarming. In tests after the chapter I found one obvious error (Chapter 16 Question 3... do the math). I had had some reservations about some of the other questions and this did not help.
Then while taking the 2000 Professional masterexam on the CD, I ran into a question that talked about the winnt.sif configuration file. The reference material said that this was covered in Chapter 1. WRONG. Search the PDF... they never covered the information in that question.
While taking the 2000 Server masterexam on the CD, I got the question "How can you assign an application to one processor exclusively?" According to the masterexam the answer is to right-click on the "executable, select properties and select assign processor." The correct answer is to use Task Manager to Set Affinity. At least the reference material was correct.
The quantity and nature of the errors makes me question everything I "learned". For anyone who is new to networking, this book possibly has enough errors to guarantee that the person fail the tests. This book is worse that useless in my opinion.
Rating: 5
Summary: Good guide - get the software and do the exercises
Comment: I found this book to be very helpful in preparing for the 215 and 218 exams (already passed 210). Having Windows 2000 Server and Professional to perform the exercises is kind of the point so I disagree with the previous review that it is a problem. You can ask Microsoft for 120 evaluation CDs if you don't own the software, which is what I did. Overall, the book proved a very good guide in helping me pass the exams.
