    As i said previously i had 3 sims, which were'nt too bad, 2 out of the 3 i felt were relativly easy and i hope i scored well on them, it was just one sim that caused me problems and i know that i didnt do well at that one.

    In the exam i had alot of WSUS questions, recommend that you revise and are used to using this before sitting the exam

    Hi, pretty new to the forum, any tips on this exam (sitting it on Tuesday), what topics you would recomend to specifically brush up on before the exam?

    So the simulators where easy?

    Sorry to hear you missed it, when are you rebooking?

    Thanks

    Michael

    The simulation is tricky, making sure that your answers to your simulations is step by step, will prompt other functions in the simulation to work, make sure to read the simulation carefuly and disect what it wants, since this simulation is a bit tricky.

    For example, you won't be able to connect to a different DNS server, until your able to create the child delegation first.

    Hopwfuly I'm not violating any rules here, otherwise please let me know so I can remove this.


    Goodluck.
