Failed 1st attempt at 70-680 with a 641
Wow, what a test! There were a few questions that generated an uh oh! Did not quite see that one coming. One area I did not really focus on was the events section. Used Transcender 70-680 Exam Prep, MCTS 70-680 Configuring Windows 7 by Don Pulton, Professor Messer, and Laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise. Back to studying…

CSVDE and LDIFDE command problems.

MCSA: Windows Server 2008
Is it really that hard? So many people on here have taken it 3 or 4 times and still haven't passed even the 70-640. I have the 2008 non r2 books and I've been going really slow and doing every single lab. Should I be able to pass in a few months? I've gotten all of the practice questions right at the end of each chapter.

70-680 - Takeoff aborted
Just moved to a new place and only had my Internet sorted out today, hence why the delay. I had my exam booked for the 15/11/2013, which was two days after I'd moved in to the new place. I had the Professor Messer and CBT Nugget videos, and had been watching them in the evenings. Friday came along and I was brushing up on…

Exam code questions (select options from multiple dropdown lists)
Hello I'm currently in progress of taking the MCSD exams in "Web Applications" and have passed 70-480 and 70-486 so far. Hopefully I will get the last one (70-487) somewhen in december. During the previous exams I found some of the fill-out-the-blanks code questions somewhat confusing. The type of questions I'm referring…

Progress Tracking with PowerShell
As I was skimming through the objectives in Asif Dasl's thread, it occurred to me that I would like to have an organized method of tracking progress based on those objectives. So, I created a PowerShell-friendly spreadsheet ;) Link to CSV (defaults are for 410 but can easily be modified for other exams):…
