    You shouldn't have passed that test unless you have a lot of experience in Windows 2003. Are you well versed in 2k3?

    Hi,

    Actually I have had about 2-3 yrs experience handling about 8 servers (A small datacener) for my dad's company... The first book I read was Mike Minasi's 'Mastering Windows Server 2003'. That was how I started...

    Forward 2+ years I had one of my IT consultants push me for the MCSE... I thought about it and went for it... I'm actually doing a triple certification... MCSA / MCSE / MCTS:SQL Server 2005... All the technologies I am administering alone and have read extensively through books...

    :D

    I used the MOC books and Mike Minasi's 'Mastering Windows Server 2003'... That is a great book... Gives you a deeper understanding of the OS actually...

    Cheers,
    Nick

    Okay, maybe I took "studied for 5 days" wrong then. It sounds like you have been reading books and preparing for a while?

    Congrats by the way.
