Advice for 70-410

I'm taking 70-410 in two weeks. I'm using Don Poulton / MCSA 70-410, Mastering Windows Server 2012 R2, and CBT Nuggets. What are some key areas from all of you that you may remembering being hit hard? PowerShell Cmdlets? Active Directory? I know all tests are different but any words of advice would be great.

As well what were your lab environments like? Did you do all the items you were studying or only specific things?

Thanks everyone!

The best advice I can offer is to thoroughly go through the objectives and lab each one until you have it down. Make sure you know the GUI and powershell methods to satisfy the objectives. In some cases you need to know how to do things in CMD as well like netsh, diskpart, etc. Build your lab in Hyper-v if possible if you come from a VMWare environment like me

Well good luck with the exam... AD, GPO, and permission are key from the exam i took. Let us know how it went plus what kind of lab did you have setup?

I am taking it later this month. I am going through the blueprint thoroughly, and am really studying the PowerShell stuff, especially parameters that you need only in certain situations. Also focusing on the new R2 material, the CBT Nuggets course indicates what that is (it's the last 10 or so vids in the course anyway)
