Main study areas.

I am going through the microsoft press book right now.

Some of it is just a "refresher" on stuff and some of it is new.

I was just wondering, is there anything that I should study really hard on? Or is there anything that I should remember for the exam?

Thanks,
Jamie

I dont remember who said this...but I think it went something like this:

"it's not like you have something to lose, but it's definitely that you have alot to gain"

I think there's so much in that for exam-takers to think about.

anyway, in terms of 270, there's suppose to be some over-lap with 290...I'm havnt really looked at strict 270 materials...but from 290/291, I'm thinking RAID, Terminal Service (remote desktop), IIS, driver signatures will all be candidate topics.

erm the 270 and 290 are not a like at all... 290 is based on a server OS. 270 is based on a client-operating system. There is very little overlap.

I'd say about 30% of 270 and 290 overlap; especially when it comes to NTFS permissions, setting up printers, disk management. There are a few other areas that overlap as well.

So, the main study areas are??
