I have it scheduled for tomorrow. I am going to brush up briefly on DNS and DHCP before I sit tomorrow. Hopefully I can squeek by and get my MCSA.

The best of luck to you TechJunky!!
I can't offer any advice at the moment (because I haven't done it) but yeah, maybe pump out some practice exams from Transcender?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I've been studying 291 for about 2 weeks now, but I did have a college course devoted to 291 (even taught from the MSPress Book). I'm on sort of a time crunch to get my MCSA done, and only have this and Security+ to go. Let us know how it goes.CERTS: VCDX #110 / VCAP-DCA #500 (v5 & 4) / VCAP-DCD #10(v5 & 4) / VCP 5 & 4 / EMCISA / MCSE 2003 / MCTS: Vista / CCNA / CCENT / Security+ / Network+ / Project+ / CIW Database Design Specialist, Professional, Associate -

Passed!
Man, this test was the most straight forward test I have ever taken from Microsoft.
Finally a test that wants to know if you can understand the technology and not the word sluething.
I do admit that I was very stressed last night considering I really didn't study like I would have liked.
Passed with an 852.
Used Sybex as a reference and studied subnetting... That was about it for material. The rest was hands on experience at work and a little dhcp stuff like creating relays etc on a personal VM box.. -

Congratulations on the pass!!
Were most of your questions on DNS and DHCP, or did they give you mostly "others"?CERTS: VCDX #110 / VCAP-DCA #500 (v5 & 4) / VCAP-DCD #10(v5 & 4) / VCP 5 & 4 / EMCISA / MCSE 2003 / MCTS: Vista / CCNA / CCENT / Security+ / Network+ / Project+ / CIW Database Design Specialist, Professional, Associate -

They pretty much stuck to the testing areas microsoft said they would test.
DHCP, DNS and RRAS. None of the DNS questions were anywhere near as hard as I thought they should have been.
Again, this test was really straight forward. I was done in under 45 minutes. So if you know your material you should do fine.
Thanks again everyone, I had a fun night last night celebrating. -

Very nice! Congrats on the good score.
I'm doing my "practice" run Wednesday of next week. I had it scheduled previously to microsoft releasing the 2nd shot voucher and then i cancelled and rescheduled using the voucher
Anyways, enjoy the time off of studing while your brain unwinds and we'll see you back on the boards soon for your next one! -

Bit late on this but congrats anyway! That's a great score.
Got this one on 1st Sep, looks like a few folk are passing this one at the moment with good/great scores which helps with my confidence.The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they are genuine - Abraham Lincoln
