We used this book in my Networking Class in college and it offered not help what-so-ever. As some of the other reviews have stated, it is far to general and WILL NOT prepare you for the MCSE exam. The pictures are from another planet and the same ones are used over and over to describe different topics (hence confusing the reader). Definitely do not buy, unless you have to like I did.

This book has a number of errors and mislabeled exhibits that will cause you trouble if you're not paying attention. Also, NONE of the practice questions or topics even come close to matching those on the 70-087 exam. All of the information is far too general, and none of it will get you to where you need to be in order to pass this MCSE exam. I read it, was disappointed and moved on to other study guides. BEWARE - the other books in this series are just as bad. You'd think the authors that write them would have had to pass the tests themselves!

Don't go for this book. It will NOT prepare you for the 70-87 exam. This book is really a waste of money. Plus, it isn't worth wasting your time on it. YOU WILL NOT PASS THE 70-87 EXAM USING THIS BOOK.
