This book WAS helpful in passing the exam. I barely passed, and only by 1 or 2 questions. Some of the practice test questions that came with the book were similar to the real world exam questions. There were also a number of questions on the actual exam that I believe were outside the scope of the book, and probably outside the scope of 70-410... I'm also pretty sure a lot of the [trick] questions were written by sociopaths... I remember back in the days of NT4 and Server 2000 when the exam questions tested your real-world knowledge. Now-a-days, it seems like they just test you on the most obscure things they can think of, providing a myriad of similar answers that are just slightly wrong... As I was taking the exam, I thought to myself, "I bet somewhere in the 1000 page book I just read is that obscure power shell command, but I've used Windows Server for 10 years and I've always just used the GUI before"... Why isn't that a choice here? The whole point of Windows Server was that it had a nice GUI. I never understood why you'd bother with "server core"... Power Shell is fine too, but if the same thing can be accomplished in less steps in the GUI or with a previous tool, why bother re-inventing the wheel? Then again, this is just the "server" version of Windows 8, so my expectations should have been lower...I had looked at many other books before deciding to buy this one. This one is by far the best out there, but expect some pain on the 70-410 exam... Right now Microsoft is doing a "second chance" promotion, where if you fail you can take the exam again for free.The 70-411 and 70-412 "cert guide" books are non-existent as of this writing.
