70-643

OK I'm planning to take the 643 soon and I was wondering what to expect. Is the exam harder than the other exams on the EA path? How heavily is Sharepoint tested?

I don't see any sharepoint listed in the objectives for the exam. I would focus far more on terminal services and IIS and the new stuff. Don't forget to keep up on the basics though such as DNS and AD.

I had one question regarding SharePoint on my exam. I cannot recall any details (not that I would be allowed to give them). But I do recall that it was conceptual. I was able to answer the question with general knowledge of SharePoint.

WSS is an exam objective. I am currently studying it too

I think from what the MS Press book is trying to say, Term servs and IIS are the heavy components.

Chapter 9 in the MSPress book anyway is titles Configuring WSS

I am planning on taking this on monday. Some people on this board have said it was easy, others have said it was hard. I guess it all depends how well you prepare. Considering the exam objectives give only %14 to Sharepoint and Windows Media services there is bound to be a few questions on those topics. I would reckon 5 or 6 questions on that topic. TS and IIS are definitely the biggies but deploying servers shouldn't underestimated either.

I honestly think they have crammed a lot of topics into the deploying servers section personally. IIS is definitely my weakest topic. Never understood it in W2K3, i understand it now but i still don't feel that confident with it. The MSPress book doesnt do a great job on that topic either i feel. It does a good job on TS though. I have found testout to be a very good source for preparing.

WSS was the third hardest testing portion of the exam for me, I had about 6-7 questions on it.

I think this test is the hardest in the EA path (i havnt taken 647 yet), and i even failed it once.

IIS and Terminal Services are tested very very heavily.

Thanks everyone its seems like TS and IIS are the main points with WDS and Sharepoint having a few questions here and there.I'll have to brush up on mt TS and IIS knowledge then.
Hopefully I can take this exam before the year ends.
