Advise required regarding Windows 70-680

Drupz21

Hi,

I have started working as a service desk analyst for ComputaCenter in Milton Keynes, UK for about 6 months now. Whilst gaining experience, i have been looking to do the Windows 70-680 exam. Any recommendations on what books/training materials to use? And then further on, I would like to move onto Networking/security. Appreciate all the advice I get on here

Professor Messer has his videos on this exam, very useful and free.

There is also a Microsoft Rapid Review book on this, I found this very good.

I am studying for my 70-680 exam at the moment. Professor Messer has a great video collection as the previous poster noted - he covers a lot of content.

I recommend downloading VirtualBox, getting a legal evaluation period Windows 7 OS ISO from Microsoft and then follow along doing the labs. https://www.virtualbox.org/ Try Windows 7 Enterprise | TechNet Evaluation Center

You will learn a lot, good luck.

I too work for CC, When I did my A+ and Network + the company paid for the exam and with A+ they gave me a login to an online training portal so there may be something like that for the Microsoft exams which is worth discussing with your RM. But I do have used and can recomend Professor Messer videos after using them for both my A+ and N+. As for getting into the Network/Security side of things....let me know when you get the answer
