I printed off that MOC. I wouldnt recommend doing so...its 522 pages and it took our high speed copy machine (thats networkable) about 8 minutes to print it off in color. Thats not a bad wiat, but the stack is about 3 inches thick.

Oh my, an entire ream of paper? Or did you at least use duplexing?!

Hyper-Me

full ream. LOL

wheez

Phew.. don't know what to think about those exams. I found both of them to be quite hard!

As someone mentioned before, there were a lot of questions on deployment (what tool to use in a scenario). I focussed really hard on this while studying but aparrantly not hard enough.. Also had a bunch of questions about IE8 settings, some in combination with new GPO's. I didn't even know IE8 has that much new stuff buildin. Some question on Bitlocker, Applocker, BranchCache and DirectAccess. Most were 'ok' but some went a bit deeper than I had expected.

That's it for now, can't remember much more at the moment. I think I might have just passed both exams, but don't want to get my hopes up too high.

thanks for the feedback!
Deployment will be the biggest part, I hear it in other posts too.
Nice to know about IE8 and the new policies, some more studying tonight ... and the rest of the weekend/week, phew

some interesting reading on IE8 for the beta exam takers:

I guess this document can answer most questions on IE8 for this exam

got my exam tomorrow at 12.30. All i have done is read the moc and the ie8 pdf from above. if i get time to tonight i might look at the group policy stuff.

i have never done any windows depolyment on a big scale so it should be a fun test.
