Title: I give it one star only because I can't give it NO stars
Review: I've relied on Sybex books for a long time and with great success (MCSE, CNE, CCNA, and 3 CCNP tests to date, all on the first try), so I expected the Accelerated Windows 2000 guide would be equally useful. I went through the book twice before taking the test. I might as well have used a copy of "Grim's Fairy Tales". I could see I was in significant trouble with the very first question. The test covers subjects the book doesn't even mention in passing; the book's chapter on Active Directory is so weak, it's worse than useless. And I'm no newbie to directory services, having many years experience with NDS.The Microsoft upgrade is one BRUTAL test, harder than any Cisco exam I've taken. If the rest of the 2000 series tests are anything like the upgrade, then Sybex's texts aren't worth the lives of the trees killed to produce it.
Is the review positive or negative?
