First off, thank you to all posters out there. Long time lurker, first time poster

To anyone taking the exam, here are my observations:
Probably 70% of the exam was either backup or performance related.
Most of the simulations were Active Directory or file sharing/permissions management.
To study, I used the Microsoft 70-290 book, Transcender practice tests (which was a lot harder than the actual test), and of course, trolling these forums.
It took me about an hour from the time I sat down to the time I was walking out the door. It really wasn't that bad. I'm thinking I just got lucky or I over prepared and went in with the mentality I was going to fail, just in case.
If anyone has anymore questions, please ask! I'll be more than happy to try to answer them.
Next I'm going to knock out CompTIA Security+ real quick (should be easy since I know a lot of security anyways), then onto the 70-291.
Thanks again all
