Passed 74-409 ! My thoughts

Itrimble

As far as Microsoft test goes, this was far easier than the 74-410. (thank goodness)

Material I used: Orin Thomas's excellent free PDF study guide. I read this twice.

I watched the Jumpstart videos provided free from Microsoft. There is about 17 hours worth of great content here.

I did all most of the questions at the end of each session.

I did the 1stof 2 virtual labs here and here.

Make sure you are familiar with Hyper-V as well as System Center.

There's also a great 74-409 resource page here.

I scored a 930!

I plan to do the VMWare version of this test in the next week. VCP510

And hopefully I can do the 74-411 by the end of the year.

I agree that the 74-409 was not very difficult compared to most other Microsoft exams but (without having taken the VCP510) I'd imagine it pales in comparison...74-409 is way less technical than the VCP.
