Windows Server 2016 Administration Fundamentals: Deploy, set up, and deliver network services with Windows Server while preparing for the MTA 98-365 exam and pass it with ease

This book has a lot of valuable information about the basics of servers as well has how to operate them. Highly recommended for newbies looking to get acquainted with Microsoft Servers. I am now happily MTA Server Administration Fundamentals certified.

This book is adequate along with experience with the OS and some practice exams online to pass the MTA 98-365. I was able to pass with relative ease after reading this book through and doing the practice questions included with the other things I mentioned. Recommended for sure.

Just finished reading all the chapters in preparation for the 98-365 Server Administration Certification test.The Bad: Terms are introduced and not defined. Many of the descriptions come straight from Microsoft's pages and are too succinct. It was like they were just copied and pasted with lots left out. The answers to the chapter questions for Chapters 6 and 7 are switched around. The author refers to servers with personal pronouns. Uses "your server" frequently. Just not well written in that respect. That is not unusual in Computer textbooks though. It is a server and the server, not my server or yours. It belongs to the organization, unless you are a sole proprietor. That is just not how professional text books are written. This book would be more suited to someone who has been doing Sys Admin work for a while. It is like it is written for people already in the biz who know most of it and just need a review. Active Directory and Group Policy could have used more discussion.The Good: Most of the hands on instructions are great. Let's face it, if you are doing Server Administration, you must know how to get around the Server. That was my favorite part of the book. Having clear instructions for adding a role, service or feature, etc. You will know your way around the server. The binding is good. The last Microsoft course book that I used fell apart, literally. This one is holding together quite well. The pages are not shiny and distracting. The author included an appendix on Group Policy and with Shortcuts as extras. I must admit I have not spent much time reviewing those as I am prepping for the Certification.For me, I use multiple resources to study for these Certification tests. I have the 98-366 and the A+ under my belt. His writing style was a nice complement to the ITPro.TV videos, the MOAC MS text, the Udemy coursework and some of the Lynda coursework I have watched. Will update once I am done passing the 98-365.

This book was a great guide for making me think of topics and scenarios I might encounter on the Windows Server MTA test. Would recommend to anyone that's studying for it.Now on to the 70-740 exam!

This is a good beginners 1st book into administration to get familiar with where items are in server 2016. Other than that it offers a very narrow scope of info that often defines terms quickly but then offers no significant info on the impact or use. There are multiple pages that just say something along the lines of, "Right Click" then select "Start" from the drop down menu. That is the end of info. So if you don't know what right click does or that you should be selecting the item you want from the drop down menu then I guess this is useful. All in all its not bad just a very basic book. My advise is to get it cheap or go digital because this is not a book that you will be tagging pages and referencing later. Its a single read, maybe use some of the study resources, then never pick up again.

Easy to understand, very comprehensive, and excellent resource

-Purchased this title because there is very little material specific to the MTA 98-365. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book. It routinely introduces concepts without adequately defining them, often through single sentence explanations. Overall it's deficient as a study guide, ill-written and overpriced.

Good depth material for exam coverage but lacks a basis level starting place like the McGraw Hill Server+ All in One book for the hands on exercises, if this is the starting point to Microsoft Server enthusiasts it needs to start off will Step 1 for IT professionals trying to move in to the Server administration world. If that is the case it needs to have a self-paced Lab manual with it. Could use a section on Data center layouts and a case scenario of project instructions installing a Microsoft Server environment from scratch for a enterprise size network for 500, 1000 users. The install process of each role in its respective steps other than that everything is great for exam practice and material.I say this cause chapter 2 material gets a bit confusing when it switches to Basic level install to Deployment capture to Server migration. Start with the first server roles needed for a Fresh data center install.

Demasiado basico, pero ideal para los que apenas van empezando

Excellent easy to use user friendly terminologies good written book

manuale scarso nei contenuti appena accennati

Best so far as beginners level.

this book is an absolute joke.key terms are introduced with little or no explanation.author is more focussing explaining which button to click when running a wizard (!) than to concept behind the wizard.some chapters are so poorly explained that suggests author himself doesn’t have a good grasp of the information he presented.overall, a waste of time (and money).
