Thanks for posting this. I am taking it tomorrow, I will post back here and let everyone know how it was.

Another awesome post, cheers Claymoore

Finished this earlier today, I don't think it was too bad. There were much less PowerShell questions than 70-236. If you have taken the Exchange 2007 tests and have a good understanding of the new 2010 features especially DAG you should be fine.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that 662 is more of an Exchange exam and less of a powershell exam - unlike 236. Also good to know that a solid Exchange 2007 background helps since some of the 2010 documentation hasn't been published yet.

Bump/Sticky and can we actually have some active mods assigned to the MS forums?

The MS Exchange Team has posted a handy management tool interoperability matrix over on their blog:

You Had Me At EHLO... : Management Tool Interoperability

Always good to know which version of which tool you need to use.

Is the Exchange 2010 Unleashed book the better one to get?

I know there is another one that covers 662 & 663 which I am going to get but I have access to the Unleashed and the Mastering books now.

Everyone

I took this one a couple months ago without studying, that was a mistake. I've taken other MS exams without studying before, and was able to pass them just going off my experience. I just barely failed this one, got a 605. What got me was questions on parts of Exchange 2010 I don't use in my environment, and haven't seen used elsewhere, like Edgesync and Federated Trusts. I haven't had the spare cash to go back and retake it, hoping to do it soon though. This time I'll actually study. :P

Hi Claymoore,
I just sat this exam and just failed
I did the elearning course and really thought i understood the product.
Where I really failed in the exam was all the powershell Q's.

Can you please advise me on where I can find information to study / practice the powershell commands so I can better understand and pass this exam?

powerfool

bora.seker,

The MCM Exchange 2010 Recommended Pre-Reading List suggests Exchange Management Shell in Exchange 2010, from Microsoft|TechNet.

I'm sitting this exam tomorrow morning... I'm not holding out for a pass first time around...

Oh and a bit late in the day maybe, but CChilderhose I have the Unleashed book for Exchange 2010 and it seems to be quite good!!
