I've been working with my Hyper-V setup for a little while now, going through the Professor Messer videos and the MS Training Kit book. Some of these things have raised questions I couldn't find good answers to and the exam objectives are a bit vague.
First, how important is it to actually lab an upgrade? I don't have access to a copy of Vista to work with so I can't really do it. If I don't have to worry about it, that's great.
Second, how deep does the exam get into WSIM options? Is it necessary to know what each of the possible answers does or is it sufficient to know the procedure to create an answer file with the
MS-provided bare-bones answers?
Third, actually the same question about the command-line tools (imagex, scanstate/loadstate, dism, bcdedit, etc). Is it necessary to know all the possible switches and options or is there some kind of baseline to work from?
It seems like the scope of the exam is too limited to be able to go into a lot of detail beyond general procedure but I've been screwed by exams before. Learning as much as possible is a good thing but I don't want to spend time in unproductive ways.
