Can this be taken first?

Hey guys
Is it possible to take this exam first If i have not taken any other MS exam before, or is that just crazy talk? * i have a reason
But, does this exam stick to the subject matter in the MS book or does it assume you have the knowledge from the other MS test such as 290 ext..
Anyone done it without much AD experiance?
Thanks
Aaron

Good luck!
Working back on my CCNA and then possibly CCNP.
yes there is always some overlap with MS exams... you will see questions about permissions I'm sure in every exam... I've only done the 270 and the 290 and for the practice question on the 291 I still get a few abuot NTFS permissions and delegatuion whcuhc was covered in the 270 and 290 (delegation more in the 290 if i rember correctly).
I think tkaing 294 before 290 is kindda like putting the cart before the horse...AD runs on top of server 2003 (for lack of a better way to put it) so if u don't not underatnad the foundation how do u understand what is added to it.
ood lcu kwith what ever you do but unless your fairly expereinced I don't thnk the 294 exam is the best for starting out. if you gonna start somewhere start where your strongest
And then shortly after comes the Exchange2007, which will be supported at first, and then we will be managing that directly. And then comes the sharepoint server, lol
This year is gonna be NUTS@! but im excited to be learning at the speed of when I first starting IT.

PS, anyone have any ideas on AD stucture for an educational structure like this?
