What books/resources

I see the links to the online resources up above (sticky) but I wondered what other books you have been using?

I have used the MS Press for 70-290 and 70-291, and felt they were both cures for insomnia, I know this techie stuff isnot exactly exciting, but come-on if someone can write materials with a bit of character as well as the required content they will take the market!!

MS Press, Sygress or something else?

Whats your opinion ?

MS Press isn't good for this exam; go with Syngress. It's going to be a bit of a snoozer too though

Hey thanks dynamik, im not expecting edge of seat stuff but a little character in these books wouldn't go amiss would it

Others have said its pretty "dry reading" too and that the CBTnuggets etc are a better choice - it seems as we get deeper into these exams just relying upon one book per test might not be enough.

Thanks for your advice.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 PKI and Certificate Security is also an excellent resource for the 293 exam. IPSec and certificates are tested heavily on the exam and this book explains everything you need to know about them.

Thanks for that tip Claymore

+1 for that book.

You can get through the exam without it, but it really fills in a lot of the gaps. I'm actually working through it now.
