Summary: What a waste of good trees
Comment: Somewhere in this book there may be the information necessary to take the MCSE Security Exam 70-220. I couldn't find it, maybe you can. The author rants on about coffee shops and lakes of Minnesota, doing his best to be like Garrison Keillor telling the "Tales of Lake Wobegon", which may be entertaining in a detached way, but has absolutely no place in a test prep manual.
He is also obsessed with a book written by Bill Gates, and works it into his presented lessons, when even Microsoft doesn't try to make the Gate's book into an MCSE issue.
Clearly the author has lost the sense of mission in this manual, which is to help you get through the test, not entertain you (actually, I'm not sure the author actually entertains anyone except himself).
If you want to pass the test, stick with the Microsoft dull, boring training manual which actually has the info you need to pass the test.
This book was just a waste of money to me, it's too big to even hold up the leg of a wobbley table well.

Summary: Good overall, but lot of extraneous material
Comment: The book does indeed cover every objective of the 70-220 Microsoft exam. However, more than half of the book is, or at least seems, irrelevant to the topic of the book. First 6 chapters all discuss the types of company models, management methodologies, risk analysis, analysis of current infrastructure, requiremenets analysis, and so on. Indeed, all of these do apply to how security would be designed for a network, but frankly, most technical readers would tire out reading 300 pages of business material (types of managements, types of companies, risk management analysis, etc).
I do think that all of this stuff was necessary in the book, but not with the length that it has. It should have been dealt with more succintly.
All in all, a good overall book, but for the purposes of the exam, I wouldn't choose this book
Rating: 4
Summary: Good Solid material for a strong foundation
Comment: I liked this book because it is pretty well explained and gave me a solid foundation to understand more about how to design Network Security for Windows 2000. I say it is a must for anyone seriously wanting to grasp a strong foundation in Windows 2000 Network Security.
