Passed it today with 906.
I just want to say thanks to the peeps here on the board.
Even if its my first post, i found lots off good info here. Its just that every time I had a question, i would search the forum and find the answer somewhere...

Anyway, I found the exam rather easy, but i took the 70-282 first, so i might have over prepared. (Or not, I studied only for 2 weeks, but intensively).

70-290 is next and I must say i am a bit worried, but i'll wait to take a few practice tests before being really worried.

Thanks to all again, and those tech notes are fantastic !

Welcome to the site and congrats! And btw, your English was just fine. I thought you spoke English natively when I was reading your post.

thanks everyone,

Things i used to prepare for the exam

Mspress book, read it twice and did all the quizz
Selftest practice exam (did lot of those in learning mode)
some bobcasts from the microsoft oem website
(great for getting tknow ris, sysprep, and unnatended installs)
Did the 70-282 (Sbs 2003) about 12 days ago, so I felt kinda solid with ntfs permissions and gpo stuff.
I have a decent amount of field experience.

Didnt get much ntfs and policy and security questions... i tought i would. (282 was full of them)
Got a lot of ics, firewall, remote assistance, unattended install, and other xp specific features. many troubleshooting questions, and couple network generic questions (mostly dns, i'd say)
I also thought ther would be more question like : Wich nbtstat swicht should you use, wich msiexec switch... There was maybe 2 or 3 of those tops.
Oh, and know about publish / install apps via gpo, and uses of msiexec.
Know all power schemes, and DO know about the backup and asr.

Thanks again, this forum is superb !
