Hi All,

Finally passed the 70-410 and looking at doing the 411. Anyone recommend which book(s) to start with?

I used the videos on Pluralsight and went through the article on TechNet that are linked to from the following blog post: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/keithmayer/2014/01/17/free-guide-friday-updated-early-experts-study-guide-for-new-mcsa-exams-exam-70-411/

I didn't bother reading a book. I found that was enough to get me through but I have some previous experience as an MCSE 2000 and 2003.

I recommend the MOC books for any of the exams. From my experience so far, they are the most comprehensive of the books and provide the most information.

Studying for this at the moment, sitting in a couple of weeks (did 70-410 back in Jan) - really struggling to be honest, will sit the exam regardless, just to see how I do. Really need to get the head down.

I haven't taken the 411 yet but my advice would be to stay away from the Sybex book. I used it for the 410 and it wasn't much help for Group Policy. The chapter about Group Policy in the 411 section is an exact copy of what was in the 410 so I wouldn't recommend it. Honestly though, the best resource I've found when it comes to Group Policy is labs. It's really hard to get a grasp on it by just reading about it.
