Can anyone recommend any books or reading materials for a few Microsoft certs?
I currently only have an IT National Diploma and Computing HND, but I really want to expand my knowledge and get some industry certifications to make me more employable in the future. I know many people in IT say experience trumps qualifications (especially if you can't back those qualifications up), but I'm starting a new job in a few weeks as an IT Technician in a secondary school and sixth-form and--while this role will allow me to get experience--I'd like some reading material to along with it.
I'm mainly interested in learning Windows Server (2008 or 2012 -- whichever you think would be more useful at present); the follow-up Server and Desktop Infrastructure MCSEs; and the Windows 7 MCSA.
So, yeah, I'd be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction
