I studied the book from Microsoft for about a week and passed the 98-365 with ease. This cert is really good at giving you fundamental Active Directory knowledge that will help for later Microsoft certifications. I found this certification really helped me prepare for the MCTS: Windows 7 certification since Active Directory was my weak area.
