 It is a good book after all November 20, 2009
B. Musat (Arizona)
I've just passed the 70-432 exam and I waited for this to actually review the book. It is a good book after all. I read some negative postings here. Yes, it is true, there are some errors (both in the book and in the tests) and also some typos...But if you actually take your time and study the material and get over the typos, this book can really help you pass the 70-432 exam. This has been my first Microsoft certification, I have studied only this book and I took the exam at the first try. Again, you have to sweat a little bit for this...I love the way in which the material is organized. I didn't like the errors and the typos in there, so I'm going to give it 4 stars out 5.
Good book November 2, 2009

 Pretty good, but... October 22, 2009
J. Danoiwtz
The book and content are pretty good, however there seems to be too many mistakes for the author and publisher to have actually verified the content. The inaccurate chapter tests are a little troublesome. One answer indicated to use the sp_filestream_configure option to turn on filestreaming. This doesn't exist, you need to use sp_configure with the appropriate option! When configuring database options you may need to turn on advanced options (sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1). Also (and this is not an isssue with the book), I see that installation of the AdventureWorks sample database via the downloaded msi install is hit or miss. It was a miss for me. Instead I downloaded the scripts in the zip file, modified the sql script for the DW database and manually loaded it. I havn't tried the test engine yet, so I don't know how accurate that is. Hope this information helps someone. This book seems overall reasonably good in the chapter steps, just beware that you may have to wing it a bit here and there (what else is new in IT?). I'll try to put in another review if I pass (or not) the exam and how helpful this was towards that goal.

When you start out much of it isnt going to work if you just do what the book says.

I am working on upgrading my skills and preparing for the 70-432 exam. This book was very comprehensive, covering all of the topics that I needed. Having the eBook and the practice tests was very helpful.
