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!

Mostly got this book for a class, but am finding it to get specific in details. Allot of times, I have to reread something because I get lost. Book is an excellent keeper for any administrator.

The book is great as far as knowledge, however, it does not prepare you fully for the exam. I would read the book and also supplement this with practice exams from Pass4sure.

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.
