Got my book and the book was for one exam, 70-291 and the cds in the book which you need for the course were for exam 70-299. Went through 3 books all with the same issue. No resolution was found other than trying another book.

I took an "Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure" Microsoft Official Academic Ciriculum class at my local community college, and we used this book as the text book for the class, which is what the book was written for. It was a very effective book, and for me personally, the class was a success. I learned a great deal about the material, and was ready to start studying for the certification test. This book was never meant to be a certification test preparation tool, although it certainly covers much of the material for the 70-291 test. The inclusion of "(Microsoft Official Academic Course Series)" at the end of the title of the book tells the whole tale. In my opinion, the book is well written, and inclusive of the material for both the course and the certification test. If you are only looking for a test prep book, you should look elsewhere. If you want a book to learn the material, both theory and practical implementation, that the test covers, this book will do quite nicely. I am sorry that one of the other reviewers didn't think that it was a good book, as it looks like he was looking for a test prep book.

I received the book on time and it was the right book. The Microsoft Official Academic Course Disk for the book was the wrong verion for this text book. I was very unhappy.
