Type "Microsoft Help and Support" in your favourite search engine and then click on the link which leads to the page. In the upper right hand corner type in "70-640" (note: do not type in the ISBN number as it will not return any results - contrary to what Microsoft says) and you will then see a link for the errata page for the book in question. You can use this for any of the Microsoft Press Training Kits (each of which has a pretty staggering amount of typos)e.g. "70-236" (which by the way has so many errata listings that they had to break it down into two separate links!). Trying to use any of these Training Kits without access to the errata pages is aggravating beyond belief - especially when attempting to to the labs - but the written information tends to both informative and well-written. Hope this helps...

If you've used MS Press before, you will experience more of the same in this book. I read the book, used the practice tests, and bought the Self-Test software. I snuck by with a 752 to earn my Enterprise Administrator. The book (and test) focuses on design, and gives you some very nice real-world advice on how to design complex Microsoft-based Networks. It even gives you some managerial advice, which actually gives you a nice sense of pride as you read the book and know what a great certification you're about to earn.
There's no magic to taking MS Exams - my formula for every exam in the Enterprise Admin track was: 1. Read a book. Don't stress over nailing every concept. I used the MS Press books. Just read it leisurely to learn. 2. Go through the practice test CD in the book. Be able to score 80% consistently. 3. Buy a second practice test (I like Self-Test). Be able to score 80% consistently. For the practice tests, focus on the incorrect answers as much as the correct answers. Know WHY an answer is right/wrong. I don't even use the real cert mode on the tests, I just use the practice mode and learn why the answer is what it is. Good luck! You'll like the book if you've made it this far.

This is a fantastic product through which one can study and refine one's technical knowledge about windows 2008 server. As with all previous MS Press releases thie product is of the highest quality and just what one needs to pass the exams and to learn the nuances of the product in question.

This book is not written by the authors stated by Amazon.com as of July 3rd. The CD does not include an evaluation of windows 2008. It is ~50mb and contains 275+ questions and an ebook. 15% off exam expires 12/31/2012.

Great study guide and resource!
In many cases, a Self-Paced study guide is mainly useful for preparing for the test and once you have passed the test, the book becomes a dust collector. This is not case with this book. The authors have done a fantastic job of not only covering the exam objectives, but have also written a book you will find very useful as a reference source and for providing real-world guidance as well. Many IT books are written by individuals who are obviously subject matter experts, but write in such a convoluted fashion that it is difficult if not tedious to read their book. The authors, in this case, have written an easy to read and follow book. They have done a superlative job of presenting complex subjects in an easy to read manner (try talking about NAP to someone that makes it sound REALLY exciting!). The book is logically broken down to cover all of the exam objectives - in fact a reference chart is included which breaks each chapter and lesson down according to the relevant exam objective. Each chapter gives numerous real-world examples to emphasize the points covered as well as detailed exercises to reinforce the concepts presented. The authors also include numerous references to Microsoft Best Practices - a nice touch that will prove beneficial to many. All in all - I would highly recommend this book - not only as a study guide for the 70-647 test, but also as a reference source and even a best practices guide.
