Hi,
Does anyone know if the 'MCSA - Windows 7, Enterprise Desktop Support Technician (70-685)' is similar to the Windows 7 Configuring (70-680) exam? The exam objectives/ content look similar if not the same.... I passed the 70-680, and studied much of the material using labs with a couple Windows 7 Enterprise systems running on VirtualBox.
Is it possible to pass the 70-685 with knowledge gained from the 70-680?
Thanks
Marc

Justin- Member Posts: 300I see that both you @JasminLandry & @MarcIT have the 70-680 exam done. What resources would you recommend / did you use? I'm looking at Amazon and I see pretty bad reviews for the Microsoft course material for the 70-680. Hope you can help. Thanks.

@Justin I used Professor Messers 70-680 course, and I labbed using Windows 7 Enterprise virtual systems on VirtualBox.

I can't find the evaluation ISO for Windows 7 anymore, maybe they removed it... But I downloaded it from this site, it gave a 90
day evaluation period to try Win 7 Enterprise.
Try Windows 8.1 Enterprise | TechNet Evaluation Center -

but, in my opinion, you need to review that particular exam. I had the misfortune/fortune of taking the 70-682, which I had to cover both 680/685 in one shot and there was no study material for 682.
