I agree, the book is def not enough
read the book - and then go to some brain dump sites to see past questions
they repeat about 75%
just do a google search for brain dump
i recommend testking - they have about 85% of past questions

Well, JConchie has it in a nutshell. It's one thing to take the test and pass it, but an entirely different thing to do what the cert SAYS you can do.
The tests are supposed to test your practical experience. The root word for practical is practice.
If you are pursuing the MCSA/E and looking for a career, the cert is part of a path, but experience is the key.
Most of the exam prep books expect you to be in a network environment, and walk you through various labs. There is where you learn what the book says.
I have more PC's running than users at my home; Fully AD integrated, running all the major services. It's not to hard, and rather fun.
I attend a local community college and vo-tech. I am getting an Associates, but if I just did the work at the school, I guarantee I wouldn't have passed any of the exams on the first try through, even with my 10+ years in the field. It took my network at home to teach me what it took to get where I am now.
I have the MCSA, am taking the Directory services test on Friday, which leaves me at two test shy of the MCSE, and haven't failed a single test yet.
Also as stated, the paper MCSE is worth exactly what Bill Gates thinks it's worth. 8-)
I also have my A+ and Network+, and will also be taking my Linux+ soon. Networking isn't about the OS, though that is a large part of it.
Most of my study books have been from Sybex, and while good, the book is only as good as the author.
For practical information that will stand you in good stead, read ANY training book, follow the labs, and then by the relevant book from Mark Minasi. That man knows his stuff, and covers details the training books are too afraid to mention.
Hope this helps, even if it is a little long winded. 8-)

You won't pass the exam on just reading this book though. You will need experience and exam practice.
