Server+ Study material

Hey Gang,
I'm thinking of pursuing my Server+..... then...either MCSA or MSCE. I've heard that if you have your A+ and Server+ that it counts towards an elective in your MSCE track. So...how long did you guys have to study for to get your Server+? Also, what study materials did you use? Normally I use preplogic stuff, but for some odd reason they don't have nothing for Server+. I don't really hear much about Server+, oh well. It's all MSCE or CCNA, ect...

A lil Background:
I have almost 5 years experience as a Network Admin for a small company (50 users, 6 servers, ect...). I actually JUST got my A+ this morning, took me about a month and half to study for Essentials and IT Technician. I also have my Network+ and Security+.

Just wondering on the time frame of obtaining Server+ and study materials. Thanks for any help.

A+ and Network+ (together) or Security+ can be used as an MCSA elective. Only Security+ can be used as an MCSE elective.

If you still want to do the Server+, this is probably the best resource: http://www.amazon.com/Server%2B-Certification-Bible-Trevor-Kay/dp/0764548093/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206989690&sr=8-1 (and it's only $5 if you get it used)

Congrats on the A+, btw

Dynamik,
I'm in White Bear Lake, MN....I see your in St Paul, MN....literally 5 mins away. Wow, that is dangerously close. What are the frickin' odds of that!

Thanks!

A+ & Server+ count as an elective too. Network+ might be easier though.

Whoops. Forgot about that.

Anyway, I was just letting him know he was good since he has the A+, Network+ and Security+.

And yea, the MN crew is getting some decent numbers. Which is good because those Phoenix guys are coming on strong.

That is a nice head start to get my Microsoft Cert(s). Sweet!!!

I guess there's not really a point for me to take my Security+ then, other than personal satisfaction and to become one with the force.

Blah, mistype

No point in taking my SERVER+.... since I already have my security+. But I suppose it holds true to no point in taking my security+ AGAIN!

I got this book and its good but a little outdated? It was published in 2001, and I found that exam cram has a 2005 SK0-002 book out. I think I'm going to get that as well. Is there a difference?
