Hey!
Looking to set up a lab enviroment to study for 70-290, just wondered what your thoughts were on the above? I've used VMware in the past and it seems pretty straight forward, just installed MS Virtual Server and to be honest I'm finding it a pain in the arse already!
Cheers,
Rich

It's really whatever you want to use. I recommend using VMware Server as many companies use it and it will be good to start getting a feel for it. -

(Don't forget some of the tools, like Dameware tools to attach/boot from an ISO if needed or VEEM or FAST FCP.) I felt pretty comfortable after the first couple of uses. I also had the chance to setup ESX Server at the last company I worked for and it was not that much more advanced to use with a bit of tech research/reference or by the book.
