The book is too small to use as a door stop...
I can't believe that I paid money for this book. After only a few pages, I began to find inconsistencies in what I was seeing in this book and what I had learned in class and in my other AD books. On cross-referencing many of the questions, I found blatanly wrong answers (e.g. implying that SMTP replication within a single domain was possible and assigning permissions using OUs), concepts that did not really work in the real world, bad recommendations, and illustrations that were wrong (e.g. trees with discontigous name spaces). I am appalled that Microsoft Press actually let this book be printed in this condition.
Once I find problems with the accuracy of a book early my study process, I have to question the credibility of the remainder of the material. The entire book is not bad, but enough of it is inaccurate that it never should have been printed and it could mislead many exam takers. On the bright side, I spent enough time verifying the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of the information with the Windows 2000 help files, whitepapers, and other books that I REALLY know Active Directory better now. This was my first Microsoft Press "Readiness Review" book and it will certainly be my LAST.

Master this book, and take the exam with confidence!
This book is like the other books in Microsoft's Readiness Review series. The CD contains a practice test, and the book explains the answers.Unlike the other books in this series, the questions in this book's practice test are almost identical to the ones that you will see on the real exam. Master this book, and take the exam with confidence!

Excellent review
This book should be the last book you buy before taking the 70-217 test. Study, get ready, and then use this book for review and to identify you areas of weakness. This book tracks well with the test objectives and has a good selection of the kinds of information the test expects you to know.
