70-649 resources

andysmeg

Hi all, I'm looking for some resources for 70-649. I'm using the Train Signal software but would like a book to accompany it. When I trained for my MCSE (I need to update my profile) I used TestOut and the Exam Cram books which worked well for me.
I need a book to help me out and have been looking at The Real MCTS/MCITP Exam 70-649 Prep Kit: Independent and Complete Self-Paced Solutions: Amazon.co.uk: Brien Posey: Books but it hasn't got the best reviews.

I'd rather not go for 3 seperate books covering 70-640, 70-642 & 70-643 but if I have to then so be it.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks very much,

Andy

A big problem you have right now is that M$ is also starting to incorporate R2 into all the exams.Since you have you're MCSE and doing the upgrade then technet will be one of your best sources. Heres a large document talking about changes from 2003 to 2008 Changes in Functionality from Windows Server 2003 with SP1 to Windows Server 2008. For changes fro 2008 to 2008 R2 there is What's New: Changes in Functionality from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi
I failed 70-649 a week ago. Failed on many R2 specific questions I never had my hands on. 70 questions.

Today I took my free 2nd shot. Filled up with knowledge from R2 hands-on....
Guess what?
Not a single R2 question! Felt like this test was much easier. In addition, it was shorter. Only 48questions.
So today it was an easy PASS.

But it feels like I am not certified on R2
