    I did the 2003 equivalent a couple of weeks ago. Software deployment and group policy seemed to be the major focus. Sites, replication, and and many other AD topics made up a surprisingly small portion of this exam. I'm not sure how similar the 2000 and 2003 exams are though.

    Why did you decide to start with the 2000 exams? Is that the dominant OS in your environment?

    I took this one earlier this year. As the title of the exam suggests, this exam is pretty much all AD administration. I found this to be one of the easier exams, probably because I constantly adding new users, groups, scripts and GPOs to our network.
    You will also need to know how to set up sites and how to determine site costs.

    Honestly, I don't think I even read the book I had for this exam, I think I just skimmed it mostly. I did the practice test that came with the Syngress book and the practice exam from here, I think MCMCSE.com had a practice exam also. As with any exam, real world experience is key to this exam.

    Good luck on the 217!

    That's awesome. So it's not that you need it, you're just obsessive-compulsive.

    Do you realize, you could probably get your 2000 and 2003 MCSEs as well as your 2008 Enterprise Administrator all within a year? That's going to land you in the Guinness Book of World Records for sure!
