Im going to be taking the 643 soon and was wondering if anyone had any advice. I have studied the MSPress book and have been doing the practice test that comes on the cd. I havent really found it to difficult but i am wondering if anyone knows how spacific questions can get an any subjects. So far i have actually enjoyed learning the material on this exam, I just dont have to much experience setting up TSGateway and/or Deploying server 08. The part the has proven the most difficult for me is all the web application information. Its alot to take in for someone who has no web/iis experience. Any advice on how technical the questions may get on the web applications part?

Hello mate, I am going to do this exam after my cisco ccna. let me know how you get on. Sorry I cant help you out. I have passed three mcts exams now and the mspres books have always been spot on. i dont trust the sybex books for ms exams...MCITP Enterprise Admin then CCNA - as I failed CCNA twice now. boohoo -

I have been studying for the 649 for a few weks now. My main source of print material has been Server 2008 Unleashed, Sybex. I think it is one of the best I have read for MS server systems. It will certainly help on the 643 and any of the other tests for the MCITP SA/EA tests. I also strongly suggest you visit http://iis.net/ and http://learn.iis.net/ Good luck! -

Well I took the exam this morning. It wasnt to bad. Got mid 9s.
The questions were a bit harder then the ones in the training manual. There were some questions that had subjects/commands that were not anywhere to be found in the MS Training book, but by process of elimination i must have found the right answers. I read the training manual almost twice because of the wait time for work to get me a voucher. In the end it was worth it though.
I really liked learning all the new roles and how to implement and troubleshoot them. There are some really sweet new features in Server 2008 that i cant wait to implement at work.
Next up... either the 640 or the 642.
