CompTIA Server+ Study Guide: Exam SK0-004

So this book is for IT personnel who have had no physical experience to this area of IT. Disliked that there were no kind of pre-setup instructions prior to beginning the exercises, if you are looking for that get the ALL-IN-ONE Mcgraw Hill book. I was hoping for this one to show detailed photograph examples of the internal hardware of the servers for rackmount and Blade, also variations of the different SANS out there. Also it give a scenario mission to get the reader jump started into the material and keep it along the way. Teaching/learning can be more fun that way. Would be great if extra material can be added to the book as for showing a bit of a detail on a data center row for infrastructure layout is like IT enterprise for 1000 users, by showing how many servers for each role and etc. Lastly have on a disk or online access to standardized IT documentation from start to finish of a server life cycle. It will really help with the day to day tech role and when we pursue our Bachelor Degrees. Mention thru out the text with more business details involved from IT PM perspective too.

Poor editing in the book is very distracting. The practice exam included in the book and in the online exams contain numerous false statements. Use them at your own risk. I am currently seeking a better way to prepare for the exam. This book leaves me feeling ill-prepared.

I'm only on page 23 and I've already found 6 typos!! That is inexcusable! By the time I'm finished, I'll probably update my review with a grand total. Also like other people have mentioned, getting the online tools that come with the book takes you around in circles a few times.

I found several errors. Book is not set in a logical order. Elements are introduced and not explained for several pages. Words are misspelled, omitted or, misused. Issues that illustrate carelessness.

I really like this book very easy to understand and lay out very well. It's a great study aid for exam. Need to find more time to study more to take exam since it expires this year.

When I ordered this there was only this and the Logical Operations books covering this test. Between those two this is the better book by a mile. Not because this is great, but because the LO book is virtually useless. The online services while good are just horrible to get access to. The registration process is this strange ouroboros of websites that constantly link back and forth between each other with what seem to be different user accounts and passwords for each one. In the 20 years I've been internetting, this is the angriest I've ever been with any web service. If you have happened to purchased 2 Sybex books and also want to access both the web resources on the same account...... well, may God have mercy on your soul. Still the best study guide out at the moment, but just because the others suck so very, very much.

Very nice study guide I ordered this as a reference for my work and also my MNCM course work.

as promised.

It's one useful book to have presently, if you're interested to work in a Datacenter, this will guide you through the misteries that lies beyond work stations, and that's the powerful Server :)

Love this study guide. Keep it on my desk at work to refer to.

Helped me pass my exam and provided all info needed to pass.

This book helped me a lot and passed the exam first time. Highly recommended.
