Passed today

Despite the test engine crashing 6 times during my exam, I managed to pass with an 889. I used the MS Press Book, Sybex, Transcender practice exams, Microsoft TechNotes, and the tech notes from here. I also support a Server 2003 domain with 40 XP clients.

One thing I would highly recommend is to not just use one book. There were a number of topics that were not sufficiently covered in the MS Press Book. Overall it was an enjoyable exam to study and prepare for. I learned a bunch and am lookin forward to studying for the 290.

I ran into tons of backup and VPN/RRAS questions. I had one or two Bluetooth, which were fairly easy to answer if you've used Bluetooth at all. A big thank you to the entire Techexams community, all the informatoin on this site was extremely helpful!

I studied for about 2 months with Virtual PC testing out each of the objectives. It was probably a bit longer than I needed, but the material was very interesting.

Good job, and nice score, especially with the stress of 6 crashes.

You must be cool under pressure, a great advantage in the IT business.

Good job. Sorry to hear that your exam crashed 6 times on you. Good score on top of that. I've heard of people losing their cool due to 1 crash, let alone 6! Good score at that. Congrats!

Great job! About the test engine crashing....just curious, was that at a Prometric testing center or a VUE testing center? I've heard people say in the past that Prometric ones tend to crash often. I've always used VUE and never had one crash.

Yep it was the Prometric. I've taken three exams there in the past and never had a problem. Maybe a recent update to the testing engine is causing a bit of chaos.
