in Net Infra 70-291
Hi guys,

Passed the 291 exam this morning....thank the Lord that one's over and done with! I got a score of 820 which I was quite pleased with and I have to say it wasn't quite as bad as I thought. I put in a lot of study time so I'm glad it paid off.

There was quite a bit of WSUS in there and a the odd question or 2 relating to the 290 content. All in all not a bad exam though.

Thank you to everyone on the forums for your help, it's much appreciated! icon_smile.gif

    Congratulations!

    It must be a great feeling to finally get that behind you.

    I've been pushing mine back for months because of college. It perpetually haunts my dreams icon_evil.gif

    May i ask how much prior experience you had, what you used, and how long you studied?

    I didn't really have much hands on experience (or any for that matter!) with the main topics covered in the 291 (configuring RRAS, setting up DNS zones, configuring routing etc.). I have done the 270 and 290 exams so the basic knowledge I had of DNS, DHCP, WSUS etc. came from there.

    I studied for three months and used the MS Press Book as well as the TestOut video tutorials. One thing I have to say for the TestOut tutorials was that there was next to nothing in there regarding WSUS, literally just a brief overview of what it does. I had a good few questions on WSUS so I was a bit surprised that this had been left out of the course material. As long as you've set WSUS up and played around with it that's pretty much it though,

    Having a decent lab setup to do the practicals is invaluable. I have VMWare setup with 2 DC's and a member server as well as 2 clients which served me well for the majority of the exercises in the book.

    In terms of final revision I used the Exam Cram book and the Trascender practice questions.

    Congratulations man!
    I'm preparing mine and will be sitting for it before this month ends (... depends on how much pressure falls over me).
