Exam 70-431, Simulations?

savior faire

Just a quickie question on the exam simulations. Are these questions based on the usage of the SSMS GUI interface to perform various admin functions?

Like Backup/Restore, Create SQL Logins, Create Linked Server, etc?

I did make note of the Microsoft link for practice sims that someone posted the other day.

Thanks.

I have not taken the test yet, but since no one has replied I'll tell you what I have heard. The sims usually revolve around using SSMS to perform most tasks.

I think it would be very hard for MS to simulate doing this via T-SQL as there might be a number of ways to perform the same task using T-SQL. Using SSMS they only have to track which boxes are checked or filled in.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have heard similar explanations of the sims. Just looking for some feedback.
