in 70-292 / 70-296 Upgrade
This was a pretty hard test. Alot of questions were on SUS and of course DNS. Know your DNS...different type of zones, what they are used for, when to use a certain type of DNS zone, etc.

On to the 70-296 exam.

    Congrats! icon_thumright.gif

    I've had this one on my "to-do" list for a few months now but haven't had a chance to get down to business and hit the books.

    So was it actually SUS or WSUS? What resourses did you use and what did you feel was the best?

    It was all SUS. No WSUS.

    In all honesty, I have worked with Windows 2003 Networks from SBS all the way up to the enterprise level since it Windows 2003 released. So on the job training has been a big help. But as for the other materials used, the Sybex book, Transcender and Learnkey and the small lab I have at home is what I used for my training. Also there is a great margin of overlap between Windows 2000 certifications and Windows 2003 certifications so that knowledge was carried over and applied.

    Don't put it off for too long, Microsoft is planning on retiring both the 70-292 and the 70-296 tests along with the MCSA/MCSE 2000 exams in March of 2008.

    I find this very strange, especially since MS doesn't support SUS anymore since Dec. 6, 2006.

    I was thinking that they had updated the exam already.
    Thanks for the info. I was planning not to look at SUS anymore (using WSUS at work)
    Congrats on the pass...

    Well, it's probably not so strange, considering they're planning to retire the exam. While the 70-290, 70-291, etc. . . in the 2003 track are going to be continued, Microsoft probably didn't see much gain in spending the time and effort to keep the upgrade exams up to date.

    Sounds very possible,
    I read in the 2003 track forums that they where getting WSUS, so I was assuming that it would be the same for the upgrade... Stupid of me :)
    I have it booked for Friday 27the
