Passed on Friday the 13th.   

It was more difficult than I thought it would be but still easier than other MS exams I have taken.  Know RIS, permissions, and remote assistance. I seemed to get a lot of those.
I think I had the same exact question twice on remote assistance.
Anyhow, used Sybex and a couple of free practice exams to get ready.
On to 290.
Out.
