410 2nd fail......

pjd007

Scored 684 (first exam score was 509) which is frustratingly close but I'm happy I'm heading in the right direction.

I had a few questions on FSMO roles which I wasn't 100% on and one particular question on IPv6 which I wasn't sure about.

Install & Administer AD was my weakest area and when I'm thinking about the questions now I can't think of too many which I may have got wrong and this is the problem I guess with the way they score these exams, we have no idea how many points were awarded to each question.

I really just want to get this exam passed now and will re-book this exam for 2 weeks time, due to other commitments I had around a 3 month gap between the exam attempts and that was probably too long.

Ah and to my knowledge there wasn't too much R2 specific, just one question on DSC.

You were sooo close! I hope you knock it out of the park next time!

Just go back and hammer out your weak areas, but don't forget to brush up on some of your stronger areas too since it is easy to forget. Good luck on the next attempt.

Hi PJD

It is a good idea to hit the lab with sections like administering AD. Generally I use alot of my lab time to make note of the different menus and what each setting does (microsoft loves to test on this kind of stuff). I find it much more important knowning where to find settings and learning what settings do rather than just configuring AD, making sure it works and creating a few users etc.

FSMO roles are a common reoccurence in all of the MCSA objectives. Learning them inside out now will make your next exams alot easier!

Good luck!
