That name has not been mention often on the forum ,but if it provide long windding questions base on the objectives with good explanations for the answers and sources to where it was research from ,than it is probably good for practice.
Along with a full book/s or class training and hand-on .
All tests packages claims to have the ultimate tool/s at various price.
Best of Luck | |

| Hey Techie219,
I have resisted/prolonged taking the Windows 2000 certification exams for way to long now, especially since I am no longer in IT with the poor economy where I live. I remember what I went through when I earned my Windows NT MCSE and the thought was not FUN.  I have procrastaned to the point that I have finally decided I am going to take my 70-210 around the first week of the October. I have ALL the materials in the world from Transcender, SelfTest Software, MeasureUP, LearnKey CBTs, and even the MCSA package offered from Redmond Exams! I have many of the Classroom MOC's, The ExamCram series, MSPress Readiness Reviews and also the Osborne Study Guide books - so I have NO excuse, but to start taking the exams. 
Anyways, I think they are pretty good guides and I will give you an example and let you judge for yourself.
Lesson 1 & Objective 1:
Installing Windows 2000 Professional
"You are the network administrator for a Windows NT network. You have decided to upgrade the network to Windows 2000. After the upgrade is complete, all client computers are now running Windows 2000 Professional. The vice president of Sales has asked you to install Microsoft Excel on all computers in her department, so you have assigned the Microsoft Excel package to the computers in the Sales organizational unit (OU). All but one of the computers in the Sales OU completes the installation.
What should you do to properly complete the installation of Microsoft Excel for that computer?
A. You should create a ZAP file and use it on the computer that failed to install Microsoft Excel.
B. You should assign the user of the computer that failed to install Microsoft Excel to the local Administrators group.
C. You should start Windows Installer on the computer that failed to install Microsoft Excel.
D. You should run the Winnt32/checkupgradeonly command on the computer that failed to install Microsoft Excel.
Answer: C To properly complete the installation of Microsoft Excel, you should start Windows Installer on the computer that failed to install Microsoft Excel. By logging on to the computer that failed to install Microsoft Excel as an administrator, you can start the Windows Installer service. Once logged on as administrator, open Computer Management and expand the Services and Applications node. Then, select services and right-click Windows Installer and then click Start.
ZAP (.zap) files are used when you do not have MSI (.msi) files for an application that you are installing. You use ZAP files to install applications with their native Setup program. Microsoft Excel is shipped with a native Windows Installer package. Therefore, you should not create a ZAP file in this scenario.
Users do not need to be apart of the local Administrators group to install software using Windows Installer.
Running the Winnt32/checkupgradeonly command will help you identify any hardware and software incompatibility issues on a computer. In this scenario, running the Winnt32/checkupgradeonly command will not directly enable you to complete the installation of Microsoft Excel."
As for the money, for $18 per exam question bank / study guide, the price is really cheap! They give a reasonable explaination to why the answer(s) are right or wrong to help you learn Microsoft's style for the "real" exams! Maybe I will get around to writing a review of ALL the study guides and such for everybodys benefit, seeing it is always a popular question asked of others who have gone before them. I hope this helps you out.  | |

| Hey Doug_Black
Thanks for the feedback. Very informative.
By the sound of it, you sure have a lot of study guides and resources for the exam.
There's no way you're not gonna study them now. |
