Mastering Windows Server 2003

I got this as it was one of the top rated books for people who want to learn Server 2003 (usually by those who are seeking MCSA or MCSE certification, as I am) This book is well written and not over technical, but it has a lot of 'fluff' It's as big as the NYC directory over 1700 pages (little over 3" thick) So you won't get through it quickly by any means. So far, I use the searchable CD more than the book to get a better understanding of subjects. I would not recommend this for anyone seeking certification as a sole source of study. I am using this as a supplement to the MOC books I got with my class course and my free 3 month subscription to MS e-learning of the coursed I have already taken and those I have yet to take. If you wish to study for the exams by book alone, there are others by Sybex that are exam specific to get you there.
