Scheduled for 70-290

sunny155

Hello everybody, i am going to Schedule the Exam for Monday.
I have studied Sybex and MS PRess single time. And took some Practice test from the Kit.
I have practiced a bit using Virtual Server 2005 R2 which helped me a lot.

I have heard that this is the toughest exam. I want to know what kind of questions to focus on,

Please advise

Thanks

Just know the objectives inside and out.
Be able to troubleshoot access problems, whether it's a permission conflict on a folder or remote access between locations. ADUC, ADUC, ADUC.

Nope, it's one of the easier ones by general consensus. You might be thinking of 70-291, aka "the beast".

Good luck!

I passed my 70-290 today.

I got a lot of disaster recoveryquestions - incrmental/daily/normal, etc backup schedules.

Know your RAID and your dymnamic versus basic disk types.

I also got a lot of access to recourse questions including sims. Know how toadd people to groups and know the best way (least administrative effort) to change a lot of accounts at once.

Intersitingly, I got no questions on group scope. I was fearing this the most!

Know IIS.

Know how to troubleshoot login errors.

These are a good group of questions I got.


Good luck for Monday.

Thanks everyone. So i have confused 70-290 with 70-291 as the toughest aka "Beast" ha ha ha.
I am afraid of Groups scopes too. They are hard to remember in Windows 2000 Mixed and in Windows 2000 native or Windows 2003 domain functional levels. I had prepared well for Disaster Recovery questions. I am little confused over termnial Services configuration.

Which order the settings options. RDC client settings are overidden by individual account settings which are again overdidden by rdp-tcp properties and finally everything can be overidden by Group policy. Am i correct?

Yup you are correct.

I'd like to add one more thing. When modifying Terminal Services GPO options, there is a special case where the Computer Configuration GPO options will override User GPO options if both are contradicting each other. Usually, in most cases, User GPO options win since it applies last, but not with Terminal Services or Loopback (not sure if there are other cases).
