Best books/videos for the MCSA tests 70-290/70-291?
I'm ready to get the books/videos to begin studying for the MCSA tests 70-290 and 70-291 - both of which cover the Windows Server 2003 technology. I've read that the Microsoft "official" books are rather dry, but I suppose all vendor's books are that way, including Cisco. Is there a book(s) which covers both of these tests…

70-642 Passed! AAH!
A dirty pass, 783, but a pass either way.

The one thing I will say is; this exam sat for exactly 60 minutes on…

Xcopy vs Ntbackup
Should we need to transfer all files and folders from 1 hard disk to another or from 1 machine to another, which will be the preferred method and why? 1) By using the xcopy command 2) By backing up all the files and folders and restore to the destinated location. We will need to retain the NTFS permission for all folders.

How does 70-271 compare in difficulty to 70-680
Okay, decided in January to get serious about this and knocked out Network+ and Security+ in a couple weeks. Then knocked out 70-271 and started getting cocky!

Took the 70-272 Today......
and passed with a 823. I am happy with what I got given the fact I didn't put a whole lot of effort into this. I just wanted it to be done. I used the MS Press books and CBT Nuggets for both the 271 and 272. Only used the practice test in the back of the book and the MeasureUp on the CD.
