Hi, you are referring to the mcse study kit which includes the eval. copy. You may find a better price for it at www.provantage.com However, if all you want/need are the eval. copies, you might want to take a look at the following: http://www.mcsetutor.com Surf to area that says "free stuff" and then scroll through the listings. Everytime I have been there I've seen the eval copies (both server and workstation) for a nominal fee. Anyway, if you also wanted the books, there is a kit titled, "Microsoft Systems Engineer Core Requirements Training Kit" Again, provantage has it and there are also less comprehensive kits that have the eval. copies. So, peruse the listing and see which kit works best for you. If you want to see all the microsoftpress listings, you also can take a look at microsoft press: mspress.microsoft.com
Good luck and I hope this helps you.

For the comprehensive training kit (core 4), the isbn is: 1-57231-905-4
You also could purchase the Microsoft Windows NT technical support training kit (provides training for server and workstation, but not net essentials and enterprise). This kit has eval. software as well and its ISBN number is: 1-57231-373-0

Hi, for your information and in response to respondent #4: Microsoft originally scheduled the nt4.0 tests and many electives to retire 31 December, 2000. However, microsoft has re-thought that position because many potential test-takers could not get a seat at testing centers. Thus, microsoft nt4.0 will expire Feb. 28, 2001. The deadline to then upgrade from 4.0 to 2000 will remain December 31, 2001.

The ISBN for the Microsoft Press NT Core package is 1572319054. It is call "MCSE Core Requirements Training Kit Book/CD Package."

The name of the set of books is: Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Core Requirements Training Kit. ISBN # 1-57231-905-4. Includes a 120 evaluation copy of BOTH workstation and server 4.0

I do not know if you are aware of this, but I believe that after 12\31\00, Microsoft is going to discontinue testing for the MCSE for NT 4.0. After that date, you will only be able to test for Windows 2000. Double-check Microsoft's web site to be sure.

Good luck.
