The authoring team on this book has done a good job of covering all the subjects covered in the Microsoft outline of the Active Directory test's objectives. They've also backed their written work with a good-quality assessment test (with answers) on CD-ROM, suitable for use when certification candidates don't want to tote the book.

The authors' approach to their subject is typical of books in this series. In essence, it's complete documentation of the Active Directory subsystem of Windows 2000, just as you would get in a reference book on that subject. In addition, there are exercises that readers can follow to build their experience with aspects of Active Directory. Chapters wrap up with questions (for which detailed answers follow a few pages later) and lab processes to try.
