Good book, yes; but not so good !

I got this book from my training center.
As the previous reviewer mentions, it seems that it is a draft instead of "An Enhanced Second Edition." You are going to find a LOT OF MISTAKES. It seems that the editorial forgot to assigned the right people to revise this book. If the authors (and editors) would dedicated a little more time and effort on it, this book could be an excellent one; and I said EXCELLENT. I like the activities included through the chapters and in the Lab Manual. I am in chapter 5, and I have found a lot of incongruencies (errors). You may get lost in some of the labs because the authors jump steps without telling you.
I haven't taken the exam, so I can't tell you if the objectives in this book are the ones set for the 70-270 exam, but if the book shows so much errors, it seems that it could be the case. So, I decided to get Sybex's MCSA/MCSE Windows Professional. I have read four chapters from Sybex's book and I can said this one is a very good book, but this is just for the exam preparation not for learning Windows XP Pro.

I would recommend you to get another book. Thompson Course Technology has good books, but this one is not the case.

Poor quality, no LabMentor CD bunded with Amazon

Its not Amazon's fault that this book isn't really good. The information contained inside it is out of date, written during the time of XP's release.

The major drawback is this book does not contain the LabMentor Online Lab disk, which prevents me from completing most of the course work for me class.
