Sybex vs MS books

I'm currently studying the core MCSE material.

For the most part, I'm enjoying the Sybex books. I've got a very
minimal lab set up - two similar Athlon XP systems, for simple
client-server material. I'd love to have five decent systems in a
garage to make a more realisitic network, but I have neither the money
nor the space for it.

My question is, would you recommend also getting a hold of the MS
books covering all of the exams I'm planning, or is it pretty
redundant with Sybex? I can search MS's site for certain material that
I know I'm unclear on, but that may not be the best option for certain
subjects beyond the core ones.

Get Windows 2000 resource kit from MsPress also. These volume of books cover
much more indepth than any of these MCSE books. Or these books are also
available from MS Technet. I use it to pass the beast!

 

Go back and do some more hands-on practice--you will find answer C is
correct.

I think you'll find D is the correct answer. If you move a folder within
the same partition it retains it's permissions. If you move it to another
partition it inherits the permissions of it's parent folder.

Dave is actually correct.

By default, an object inherits permissions from its parent object,
either at the time of creation or when it is copied or moved to its
parent folder. The only exception to this rule occurs when you move an
object to a different folder on the same volume. In this case, the
original permissions are retained.

From here :

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the heads up!!

I found a bug which made my answer wrong--on Server 2003 Enterprise SP1
moving a folder with special permissions applied AND do not allow
inheritable permissions checked will retain the original settings on the new
volume,but not always.

Trying to track down what is making it random now--since I primarily use
special permissions the ability to retain them would be useful.

who isn't?

 

Of the three general study books, MS, Syngress and Sybex.
Sybex is by far the worse-IMHO.
