Windows 7 client cannot access remote file share
Hello, I've got a Windows 7 RTM client connected to a wirless network (WPA2-PSK). Behind the wireless router is a PIX firewall and behind that is a NAS device (A WD World Edition 1TB drive, Internal IP 10.0.0.3 which is NATed through the PIX to Public IP 192.168.1.100). Whenever I try to access the NAS device from the…

Security+ equivalent to 2 exams for MCSE??
Hello guys, I have found on many posts here that Security+ from comptia counts as one exam for the MCSE, either an elective 70-298 or the specialization exam 70-299, at least that was my understanding, but today Ive found this: So I guess that means that if I do all core exams and the client exam, I then present my…

Passed the 293 - finally!
Well it took 4 attempts, but I have finally beat the Beast (I think this one is the beast not Beast Jnr). I got a 959, which is my best score to date. Something finally clicked in to place on this attempt (my previous 3 attempts were sitting 293/294 back to back - something I don't recommend - just too much to remember!)…

After having the test crash 3 times
I passed with 953!! :D Took me a little over 2 hours to finish up. I had 44 questions, 2 sims, some drag and drop, and multiple choice. this is definitely a tough exams.

I passed today with a 905 the first time!!! Better than I thought I'd do. :) I used Testout, Exam Cram, Transcender, Measure-Up, and this site. Oh, I also studied my @$$ off!!! It took me less than an hour to take it. I did a lot of rereading of the questions and answers. I think if you're careful about details, you can…

Port/Server Question
Do Servers generally handle more than 1 type of application? You have your DNS, FTP, DHCP, Exchange, and many other servers. I understand Port #'s tell the Server or Destination PC what application the segment needs to be used by, but if the segment has the correct destination IP address and the Server only handles one App…

293 up to date?
Just wondering if this exam has relative content. Not so concerned about SUS versions and SPs; more about if I need to know about NT support and NTLM stuff. My current study material goes through what works with XP etc and allowances required for 95/98/NT. For those who have done this exam, has it been updated like 291?

Fill factor question
Hey all, question on fill factor. It is my impression that if you say set fill factor to 60, then your free space percentage would be 40, correct?

Windows 7 and Vista exams
How do the Windows 7 and Vista exams compare in terms of complexity? I have yet to study for my Vista exam (70-621) but feel I know Vista pretty well, and am tempted by the Windows 7 exam.

70-646 pass
Took 70-646 this Saturday, passed w/ a 925. Found it pretty easy, but I did a lot of prep for this one. I used the MS training kit, as well as the practice tests included.

Have you ordered a printed cert from MS, if so I have a question
I was just wondering if paying the $10 was worth it or not. Is the quality of the printed cert better than buying fancy paper and printing it out on your own inkjet? I was contemplating just taking the pdf file to Office Max or something and see if they can give me a better print out. My inkjet's a little old and dirty so…

70-646 Action
Due to my big mouth, I took the 70-646 exam today. It found it more difficult than the 70-647 exam that I took a week ago, however, I seem to have passed with a higher score, 887. Oh well that's SA and EA done on to Hyper-V (after a weeks rest, that I think I have earned)

Test Tomorrow! (Aug.20th)
I studied my ass off for 291 and passed with flying colours back in April. Summer got in the way of what was originally supposed to be a "few weeks" of downtime before I hit 293.

Passed 646!
I took and passed the 646 today. My score on this one was an 800. Not as good as I had hoped, but oh well. I used the Transcender and MeasureUp practice tests that came with the MS Press Training kit book. I read some technet articles on some of the new AD features in 2008. The MS Press book was very helpful.

Opinions on Transcender practice exams for 70-646?
I've used Transcender in the past for my prior MCSE exams, and always found them challenging, educational, and a little tougher than the real exams.

Unitek Boot Camps for MCDST 70-271 & 70-272

Ms Press 70-293 subnetting question
Im working my way through the MS book and have just reached the subnetting section... And Ive noticed something I dont quite follow when it comes to subnetting.. In one example (Chapter 2 - Page 32), it mentions the network 192.168.42.0 /24 and would happen if you changed the mask to a /27 (255.255.255.224) So far so good,…

Out of all the MS Exams...
I'm worried about this one the most. Not because of the information, but because reading the questions are so flipping tricky.

Passed 70-620 today
I got a 725. I'm a little disappointed in my score. I was really surprised with the amount of networking questions they asked.

3 Xs the charm
I passed, finally. 50 questions. 5 sims, 4 drag drops. Thank you to everyone for the support. Just when I was questioning myself your support helped to push me through. Transcenders, and Sybex are the bomb. SCORE: 740 not as high as I wanted but a pass is a pass.

CBT Nuggets?
Hello! I was wondering if anyone has used these videos? I am a very visual learner and as much as I enjoy reading, It just doesn't stick as much as visual aids do. These are quite expensive ( for MCSE it's $899 ) compared to buy all the MS press books. I am a broke college student so I would like to know how these are for…

70-646 & 70-647 same day?
I just aced 70-649, and only have 646/647 left to be MCITP:SA/EA. I was skimming both books and looks like a good amount of overlap. I was curious if anyone who has taken both exams would recommend doing them on the same day. My testing center is over an hour away, so I could same time/money if I knocked them both out.

On Transcender I noticed this question keeps popping up and I don't really have any understanding of the difference between the 2 (limited 2003 experience) and I feel the Transcender explanation doesn't help either. If someone…

MCSA or MCITP: SA
So just got out of a training session at work about migrations to Server 2008, and the instructor got around to asking about certs. After an extensive conversation, he suggested that i ditch 2003 and start working towards 2008. His strategy for persuasion included how I already have my Vista 620 and there are fewer exams…

Can you beat this? No I am definitely the weiner.
Just passed this one with 731, not great but still it's done. About 18 months ago I sat this exam 6x times and failed. I finally had to leave it and try something else. I read the MSPress book over and over; and although it covered everything (except WSUS), the info never stuck and I basically learnt buggerall. Note, never…
