Passed 70-649; On to 70-647
I passed 70-649. Not a very difficult exam. I read up a bunch about 2008 R2, since i hear that the tests that 649 consists of are being upgraded to include R2. My exam had nothing referencing R2. A bunch of terminal server questions, a few remote access questions, one or two IIS questions. Overall, not bad at all.
