This is a key title that is sure to be in great demand as an MCSE elective. It prepares IT professionals for the MCSE Installing, Configuring and Administering Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 exam.

Candidates will also get complete coverage of the more complicated installation skills required for ISA Server 2000 because of the interface configuration and addressing requirements.
The book includes real-world projects and examples, along with a CD-ROM containing 50 realistic practice test questions and a feature that allows free electronic downloads of additional questions. It pulls together the 'big picture' of how each service fits in and works with the others, which is a crucial part of the reader's ability to pass the exam.
