If only I'd read this!
I just did the tests, 4 per night which wasn't too bright, plus I'm not a mechanic, but we'll see how it goes.I think this book has a lot of good stuff in it, I learned a lot.

Great one stop ASE Certification
I have been in Fleet Maintenance for over 19 years. Having never attempted the ASE certifications this book was a great help. Allot of the questions were the same ( about 45% ). I took 6 ASE tests and past the 5 I took the time to read through this book. You do need a basic understanding for this book to be effective. ... Read more

Compaq's server hardware ranks among the best in the business, which means it's been widely adopted into a variety of mission-critical applications. As a result, there's a large and lucrative market for technicians who can prove they know how to handle Compaq systems. That's the purpose of the Compaq Accredited Systems Engineer (ASE) rating, and Compaq ASE Certification Study Guide can help you earn yours. This book details the technologies, management skills, and Microsoft Windows integration facts you need to understand to do well on all three tests in the Compaq ASE battery.

Any book that has as much to do with hardware as this one is bound to show its age almost immediately, and indeed this book lacks detailed coverage of the latest developments in the Intel Pentium III microprocessor line. However, the authors (a team of MCSE- and ASE-certified experts) more than adequately cover the concepts and tools you need to understand the hardware. A careful editing job has resulted in a uniformly clear, didactic style that rewards the reader who is experimenting on a live system while reading along. Because this is a test-preparation aid, each chapter concludes with its most important facts bullet-pointed for easy review and a brief multiple-choice quiz. Answers to the quiz questions appear (with discussions of the correct answers) in an appendix, and you'll find a test simulator on the companion CD-ROM. --David Wall

Topics covered: The published exam objectives of the three Compaq ASE exams--Compaq Systems Technologies (exam 010-397), Compaq Systems Management (010-078), and Compaq/Windows NT Integration and Performance (010-067). Hardware, networks, and operating system integration all receive coverage, with a nice balance of theory and practice all around. Coverage of Compaq Insight Manager, SmartStart, and server management technology are all particularly strong.Book Description

An very good resource
This book is a bit old, but if you work with older Compaq Servers as I do then it is fine.A valuable resource even if you do not intend to sit the Compaq ASE exams.

Compaq ASE Falls Short of Objectives
I agree with the other reviews of this book. It was published at a timewhere Compaq was switching between the old tests and the updated tests. TheCompaq ASE book was written before the Proliant 8000 and 8500 eight waysystems were released. It was also written with speculation on Windows2000. Those of you who are planning your ASE right now will notice that thesecond test (Windows NT Integration) has been renamed to Windows 2000Integration and covers the different versions of 2000 and such.

You cannot complete the ASE sequence with this book alone. Fortunately for me mypartner attended the classes so I have used his coursebooks for the updatedinformation and have passed the first two tests. We'll see how the thirdone goes next week.

I would have preferrred 942 blank pages.
Because at least I could have used it as a notebook at a later time. Ifeel sorry for the trees that had to be chopped down to provide the paperused in this book. This material is as useless a bicycle with square tires.This book is an embarrassment to Syngress what a complete waste of money.Do not buy this book under any circumstances. This book got a rating of 1because I could not go any lower

Don't waste your time with it
After using the Compaq courseware and this book I noticed that it does not have enough information to pass the exams. Some basic information (ex. numeric pages alert codes) is missing. I don't recommend it.

Don't bother
This book covers maybe 70% of the Systems Technolgy Exam, 50% of the NT Intergration Exam and 50% of the Systems Management Exam.Syngress and the author's should be embrassed to have this book still on the market.I wasbetter off buying the Exam Preps from Boson.Don't waste your time readthe useless information contained between the covers of this book.I havemade the decision not to use any of the Syngress books for any futurecertifications that I am pursuing. ...
