General Question

in MCDST
I am thinking about starting out with MS Certifications taking the MCDST track and complete those two MCP's first, is there a forum for 70-271 or 70-272 and study guides here etc?...and also what you think about the actual cert and the book I would get is the Microsoft one it recommends MCDST Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-271): Supporting Users and Troubleshooting a Microsoft® Windows® XP Operating System, and what people think about the book
Thanks
