in Net Infra 70-291
Hi guys,

I just passed my 70-291 exam with a 900/1000. I had about 4 sims and the exam covered the usual topics, DNS, WSUS, IPSec, and RRAS. I did run into a number of questions that overlapped with 70-290 questions, and a fair amount of questions based on Active Directory which the MS Press book didn't cover.

For study materials I used the MS Press Book and the Syngress Book to work on areas I had difficulty with. I used VMWare comprised of a network of two domains, 3 servers, and 2 clients. I have some solid real life experience with helping to administer a single Server 2003 domain. In additon, I run a single Server 2003 domain at my house with WSUS controlling updates. I also used the many resourceful posts from this site. Thanks guys!

Overall, I highly enjoyed the exam even though it did require a lot of studying. I think I'm going to take a break from MS exams and finally get some basic understanding of Linux. I'll see you all in the Linux+ forums!

    You've come to the right place Pash. The people who post on these boards know their stuff, you couldn't have picked a better resource. Hopefully I'll be able to lend some of my own when you have a question. Make sure you get lots of practice with a physical, VMWare, or Virtual Server Lab. Try to set something up with a two to three domain environment and you'll be golden.

    Best of luck!
