in MCTS / MCITP on Windows 2008 General
I recently passed all the tests for MCITP: EA and MCITP: SA. I thought I would share of the Windows Server Technical Library, Microsoft Knowledge Base, etc. and other various Internet sites I found helpful in studying for these tests and generally helpful for my job as a AD administrator. Some of this is 2008-specific, some of it is not.

If people indicate this is useful, there will be several more parts.
