Hi All
I was wondering if some one may be able to shed a little light on studying for the mcsa server 2012 exam 410 in particular, I am struggling to find some solid resource that cover all the exam objectives.
I have gone through the MCSA exam ref book by craig zackler but I feel this is not enough to pass this exam , I have set up home lab with server 2012 and a few clients for the hands on exp but feel like I am studying the wrong material as when taking practice tests I am failing miserably, feeling a bit out my depth
Background been in Tech support for coming up to 2 years mostly helpdesk support with some exposure to server 2008/12 , I am looking to get the mcsa cert to help with career progression .
Any feed back from anyone in the same position or similar would be great with tips on what material you used how long it taken you to pass and what your background maybe and.
regards DK

I had the 3 exam study guide by Panek and it was okay but the Don Poulton really dove in to the material.LinkedIn | www.sethhall.com

I do. The 410 book is the only I bought specifically for the one exam. I just used the Panek Study Guide 3 in 1 for the 411 and 412, along with a lot of labbing and some CBT and YouTube videos.LinkedIn | www.sethhall.com

That's what I need more study guide, right now i'm labbing as we speak. My drive is running slow since i'm updating 3 server right now. I need to get me a SSD drive for these VM's ... way to slow for me at the moment.2018 Goals: 70-410 [X], 70-411 [],70-412 [] :bow: 410- Passed!!!!!!
