Does anyone know how much wireless technology comes up in this exam.
The MSPRESS book has almost nothing on it.
Presumably you don't need to know how to set a WAP up, but need to have an awareness of PEAP, and how it works with TLS, MD5 etc ?
I've just come across "Fast Re-Connect", which I understand to mean the abilty of a wireless connection to move between WAPS when the mobile device itself moves around or signal strength varies between WAPS where there is overlap of signal, where the authentication is taken care of automatically with the newly acquired WAP without the user having to do it, ie re-enter an ID and password. This confuses me because in the next sentence it tells you that the WAP doesn't do athentication it just pass the request for authentication to a RRAS. So presumably this falls into the scope of 291 ?
Does anyone know wher and how to set "F R-C" up for a wireless connection ?

Yes there are questions on wireless, as you say the MS Pressbook has no coverge
There is a chapter in the Syngress book, which I will be going through soon.
best of luck!

cheers mate.
stuff around authentication issues, IAS, RADIUS, could come up.
found a useful white paper on the MS site, talking about PEAP and TLS
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/peap.mspx
they may try questions about single sign-on, PKI, and where digital certificates need to be installed, server only, or client and server, or even try to compare against old methods such as LEAP and MD5.
Let me know if you find out anything good, please.
