 As good as you can ask for ! July 27, 2009

I just passed the 70-646 exam with an 875, so that should tell you something about this kit. First of all, you have to not only study the book, but use all the included resources - questions at the end of the chapter, the practice labs (I used a virtual server), and of course the practice tests on the CD. There's no substitute for hands-on training. Reading this book alone doesn't guarantee a pass, nor should it. You have to use the product, understand the concepts, and shore up the weak areas you'll discover when you do the practice tests.
There is some material in the book that's a little overkill. For example, there wasn't one question on the exam about IPv6, even though the chapter on this goes into a lot of detail. There also wasn't much on the exam about the appplications within IIS. I didn't mind though. since my next exam WILL cover these. Learning more is always a good thing.
All in all, this is a pretty thoroughly written book for the exam objectives. I've gone though a couple dozen certification books over the years (including others by Ian and Orin), and this one rises to the top as one of the better ones.
Thanks for the pass guys!
Great Book!!! June 16, 2008

This text is well written. However, it is written for an experienced network administrator. The author freely admits that he is only covering the new features of 2008 server; therefore, although this is a good book, it is not for the beginning student.
Excellent book if you want to pass the exam! March 27, 2010

Ian McLean and Orin Thomas did a very good job with this book. This book covered all topics that were on the exam. No surprises. I only found a few minor mistakes in the book, overall the quality is high and I found the book quite easy to read.
Since I wanted to upgrade my MCSE to MCITP I had to pass two exams, the "70-649 TS: Upgrading Your MCSE on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, Technology Specialist" exam and the "70-646 Pro: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator" exam. I started with the 70-649 and found that one certainly doable, but it contains a lot of material. After that exam I bought this book and found the book (and the exam!) much easier than the 70-649 exam. Especially because a lot of the material is already covered when you study for the 70-649 exam and I have the feeling the required knowledge level to pass the 70-649 exam is higher than the required knowledge level for the 70-646 exam. I don't think Microsoft is very clear about in what order to study for the exams, but it's definitely an option to do it the other way around and start with the 70-646 exam.
Conclusion; study all chapters in this book and you should be able to pass the exam!

I ordered the book. The book came in new condition with CD. I was sent an order confirmation that the order would arrive by the end of the month. I received the book within 10 days. In my book, that kind of service rocks!
