Microsoft's commonsense tips
I decided I want to get more involved with this online community; so as I sit here and read Microsoft's XP Professional Training Kit, I might as well post their "exam tips". My goal is to post once a day until I pass this 270 exam -- hopefully I will pass the first time. Oh, I will be changing the actual wording of the…

“Application Distributions” Question
I’m installing a non-msi application using the GP Preferences “Immediate Task.” This allows me to install it as an Administrator (required), as soon as the user connects in (VPN/Remote Users) and runs a gpupdate.

297 compared to 298
Hi All I have just order materal to study for the 70-297 but read that its a bit of a dog in terms of reading and has a lot of focus on NT4 upgrades.

Virtual lab for 680
Hello, This thread might be misplaced, but I want to know is what the minimum (memory) requirements to run Windows 7 are?

MCSA / MCSE Path advice...
I was just trying to figure out my path towards MCSA and MCSE. I have A+, Network+, Server+, Security+, and MCP (70-270) so far. This is what I was hoping to do: 70-270, 70-290, 70-291, A+, Network+ = MCSA? Then... All the Above, 70-293, 70-294, 70-680, 70-297, Security+ = MCSE? Am I correct on this?

70-285 Exam Prep
Well, I am slated to take the 285 in the morning and I figured I needed to clear my head.

I was cursing myself about 3/4 of the…

Passed with 763
I passed the exam today, with 763 just above the passing score. I was really not sure I was guessing somewhere around 600 - 750... I'm so glad to see my score over 700. I was expecting at least a few NTFS related questions but there weren't.

Where to start
I've managed two exams in the past 2 months (270 & 290). I so now its onto the 291! I must admit that this is the exam I fear the most. So far I havent done any labs or transcenders, but perhaps I will have to consider this for the 291. I work on MS 2003/2008 systems every day, but not very often with DNS/DHCP. The only…

MCSE:Security & Windows 7 70-680 exam
Hi guys, I am contemplating starting on the MCSE:Security but was surprised to see that Microsoft doesn't list the 70-680 exam as a valid exam for the operating system when it is valid for the general MCSE. Does anyone know if it's just not listed yet as it is to new or is there a specific reason why you have to do either…

Passed 621 with 833
54 questions - No sims - Nothing to fear The material was very straight forward with no surprises. No long questions. Look at the answers presented, **** the ones that don't jive then read the question. I abandoned Vista after it came out and stayed with XP, I found it more of a problem than a solution. Win7 sparked my…

Upgrading you MCSA to Server 2008
Hi, I'm studying for the 70-648 upgrade exam, then hopefully the 70-646. Some of my colleagues in work are doing the 83-640/70-642 / 70-646 route but they are new to Microsoft Certs. My head is telling me to stick with the 70-648 upgrade exam route. I did my 70-291 exam last MaY and am currently reading the Exam Cram…

DNS Servers
I know that DNS Servers can be added on your network or used via the ISP. Either way, how does a DNS Server learn domains it's never heard of before? Does it broadcast the domain in question requesting for IP? If it does, does it use IPHelper? How does this work specifically? Step by step please?

70-299 or 70-350
Hello everyone......I'm still studying for the 290 and had a question about what direction I need to go in regards to Security. I see for the MCSA and MCSE that 299 & 350 are offered as optional electives. So, I guess either one of these would satisfy the requirements, but would 299 cover a more broad spectrum of security…

What does this mean for MCITP?
Hi Being in the UK, I'm not 100% sure what "American National Standards Institute" really is. So how does it affect the MCITP certs? See link MCITP Titles Get ANSI Stamp -- Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Online James

Thoughts on the Microsoft Certified Master Program
Maybe there was a post on this already and sorry if there is but a came across this new certification title called Microsoft Certified Master Program or MCM. It is 5 MCTS test covering a broader range of subjects than say the MCITP and in my opion more real world. It is basically the MCTS's for AD, Exchange 07, SQL 08,…

Passed 70-680!!!
Took the 70-680 tonight (with a 1000!) - the exam wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. Thanks to all those who posted up links over the last few months. I spent a fair bit of time going over the links on Technet - especially the SpringBoard videos and the learning snacks (looked over the W2K8 R2 videos too). I reviewed…
