Pretty much all topics were covered. Some of the questions were very obscure, memorization type questions. I missed a couple of those. To answer the previous question in the thread...no, the first class is sufficient. I would recommend studying the class materials and any PDF from VMware.com that you can get your hands on. The basic admin guide, the san configuration guide, resource management guide, etc. I spent most of my preparation time with the VI Infrastructure 3 book. I did read through all three guides I mentioned here one time and some of the information from those guides that I don't recall seeing elsewhere were test questions.

This guy knew his stuff. He taught both classes as well as other internal and private courses, and he was intimidated by it. Sounds like a challenge to me
