Taking my first MS exam tomorrow morning. Should be exciting. AD FS & AD RMS are going to be my weak areas, hope I pass.

I took this exam yesterday, and passed with a 783. I aced the lab portion, but the multi-choice I struggled on.

Dont fret over the RMS and FS. You'll do fine.

AD RMS and Active Directory Objects
This table may help, especially the information about users. The AD Resource Kit mentioned a specific user requirement about 5 times in various notes, bold face type and special emphasis. That usually means it's on the test. I didn't take the 640 exam, so I can't be violating the NDA and I can't say for sure, but if I were taking the exam I would make sure I knew what user attributes are required to be able to use RMS.

Don't worry so much about the CS, RMS, FS, and LDS questions of the exam. If you have a good basic understanding, you can easily eliminate the incorrect choices.

You said what I couldnt say.

Know your way around Win2008 and the questions are not like the old way of 4 paragrahs, its now just a few lines and straight to the point.

RMS,FS,CS and LDAP are just a small part of the exam.

As long as you know how they work and manage you'll be fine.

Good luck

Passed with a 700. I didn't receive anything telling me what areas I was weak on, is that info available on the MCP web site?

You should have recieved a printed score report from the testing provider which will show a bar graph representation of your approximate score in each area.

I forgot to say congratulations! The first MS cert is always a big deal. Careful, though - certs can be addicting.

Thank you. I did not receive a bar graph from the testing center. So I guess I can't obtain this information from anywhere else? Maybe I will contact the testing center to see why they didn't have that.

I've seen other people say that they dont get a bar graph breakdown paper with the 83-640.

But i got one with the 70-640.
