Biggest Areas (priority)

Hi Guys,

I took my 270/290 a few months back, but have been spending a lot of time on cisco certification since. I now need to get on with my MCSA again, and the next in line is the 70-291.

I decided to set myself a bit of pressure (only way I ever get anything done) and yesterday I booked the exam for the 2nd Feb.

Can I get opinions (or fact) on the biggest sections to tackle (possibly weighting them) so that I can weight my time accordingly over the next few days.

I have purchased the CBT Nuggetts and will be watching these, but if anybody has any links to other web resources this would be appreciated.

Thanks

    From what I've seen on here, DNS is generally the #1 topic.

    When I took it (2 years ago), WSUS and RRAS were on there heavily, as well. IPSec had a decent amount of material, and DHCP and IP subnetting made up most of the rest.

    Thats what I figured from some of the other posts on here.

    I think DNS is going to be the biggest area for me, I might have to knock up an extra pc a bit quick and put a server build on it, maybe then run a couple of VMs on it. Then I can practice the DNS configs.

    I figure I will then look into the security aspects and IPSEC, then Wsus/RRAS.

    Thankfully DHCP doesnt seem too vast, I noticed a few people have mentioned memorising DORA and the 80/20 rule which I am familiar with from CCNA, along with Subnetting etc

    Still a challenge, so if anybody has any handy links/tips/tricks or any example labs they can think of setting me as a test then this would be appreciated.

    Are you going to make your DNS be on a different server? As in my lab its all on the one box. Thinking about making a new machine and network the two together and fail it over. Just an idea I had. If anyone has done this it would be good to get their feedback.
