in Server 70-290
887/1000. Not a bad score :)

Taking 70-291 next week. Been studying for these for over 4 months now.

Question is this. I have 270, 290, and MCDST. Once I get 291... will it automatically update on my transcript showing MCSA2003?

Thanks!

    Yes it should. Yr MCDST should be used as yr elective and should fulfill all requirements for the MCSA2003 certification.

    Nice score, you aced it! that score on an M$ exam is like fullmarks on a Cisco exam... M$ questions are so long....

    Nice work!

    What were your weak areas?

    Do you know about the 15% discounts at the M$ site? I plan to sit my 290 on the 24th of October so currently kicking my own ass to study.

    Regards,

    David,

    Good luck!! It wasn't too tough of an exam. If you've had experience with shares/permissions, profiles, disk management, backups... such like that, you should be alright! I didn't bother with the discounts since my company pays for these (lucky me!)

    My weakest area was actually disk storage/management... two of the sims kicked my butt... but remember... do things the "Microsoft way!"

    LOL! No problem!

    If you wanna hear something funny, I just realized I need one more test after my 291. See, I was stupid and thought that MCDST ... had 270 in it. So, after 291... I gotta take 270..ugh! That should be pretty easy compared to 290/291...lol!

    Nah... I took 271 and 272... did it like 3 years ago when the MCDST first came out. All this time, I thought that 271 was 270...lol. Just realized by looking on my MCP transcripts that it wasn't. DOH!

    Just passed 291 today. Just need to take 270 some time next week.
