Out of the 70-640 & the 70-642, which one should be done first?

If you have already embarked on the MCITP EA: (or SA), what makes sense to do first? The 70-643 and 70-647…

Microsoft Exams.
Hey everybody, My names Josh, first post in this thread so I figured Id introduce myself once again. I was just curious, and it may be too much to ask. Can anyone tell me what Microsoft Certs are 'popular' ? Which ones I should focus on just starting out and where I should take myself in terms of Network Security. Thank…

Similarity
I'm looking through some of the 293 material and it looks very similar to 291....like 90% similar. Is it just me or do you guys/gals see it too?

Active Directory Server 2000
Hey all, I frequent the Cisco and Linux forums here but I have an MS question. I am not an MS guy so you might have to talk slowly to me.

How did you get your experience up in this application? Books and training for it seem to be pretty thin on the ground so apart from running in a…

Beast is having a closed casket funeral
I took the dreaded 70-291 exam today. I had 9 simulation questions out of 40 total. It took me a little over an hour and I vanquished the beast with a 892. I was pretty sure I had passed, but was shocked to see the best score I have ever gotten on a cert exam appear! I used Microsoft Press, CBT Nuggets and TestOut to study…
