IT Employment
I'm working as a System Administrator in my office and I'm looking forward to doing my certification before the year runs out.
Please can anyone with good experience with all the certification or MCSA recommend a good book for the core exams.

For my MCSE track, I started with the Sybex books for each exam. They were a good starting point, but they did not have the right kind of practice questions. The Sybex questions were to general and not strange enough. The Microsoft exams have some fairly wacked-out questions on them!
But, I liked the Sybex books as a jumping off point, to enhance what I already knew (I've been at this since the Win3.1 days), and to learn the proper Microsoft phrases and lingo.

After that, there are a lot of good web sites on the exams. One I liked was www.mcmcse.com
hope this helps

I always prefer the same series of books. The Sybex books, Exam Cram books and the Accelerated books (Accelerated CNE, Accelerated MSCE, etc).
All will be very helpful. Also, make sure to check out www.cramsession.com
Great study guides, free practice tests and more!
Good Luck!
THe last comment on Exam Cram books is a great one. If you look on line, you will find that some of these great study guides are going dirt cheap since the company is for the moment out of business. I personally got the A+ and Networking Essentials books. They have more for MSCE stuff, just look on line for new/used through Amazon.coms site. The other sellers listed through Amazon are very cheap.
You can also check out or search for some of the computer book clubs, there are a few, you can get some great deals that way. Just snag a buddy from work and do a referral deal to each other!
