Finally Booked 290 Exam Advise Needed

I am looking for a little advise on a few topics to really focus on. I just scheduled my 290 Exam for Nov 11. My lucky number. Not that this is going to help. So far i have not done a ton of studying but do have a enterprise server 2003 implemented in my cisco setup at home.

Is there anything this exam really hits on. I have already read the objectives so i understand whats covered just looking for a little advise from someone who recently took it.

Thanks Ahead of time

Also is there a difference from active directory 2000 to 2003?

Yea, 2003 added the ability to rename domains and some other things.

290 doesn't focus a great deal on AD, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The exam is pretty well-rounded; I can't remember any topics getting more attention.

Got any advise on any topics to hit for this.

70-290 was the easiest exam, a lot of repeat stuff.

Make sure yuo know ntbackup inside and out. RIS would be helpful too. Basics of wSUS.

Keep in mind, he did 620 and not 270 for his client. 620 didn't cover a lot of things nearly as well as 270 did (if at all); it focused primarily on the home user.

And that is one hell of a memory there. Yeah i did take the 620.

To be honest with you i have not really opened a book yet for the 290 exam.
So i guess i need to get moving.
