I'm going to try to keep this guide focused on design and deploy topics as much as possible. If you are pursuing this certification I assume that you have already passed the 70-662 exam. If you are looking for information on the 662 exam or for more of the manage and maintain information, check out my 662 resources guide.

I will update this guide throughout the week and as my studies progress.

Another sticky please!

Awesome! I just passed the 70-662 and was about to create a topic about resources for the 70-663

Why is this not stickied like the 70-662 guide? I was trying to prepare my certification "schedule" for the rest of the year, LOL.

Ask and ye shall receive, thread stickied.

This is an excellent thread. I used a lot of these resources to pass the exam. You might add the Microsoft Press Book to the list. Amazon.com: MCITP 70-663 Exam Ref: Designing and Deploying Messaging Solutions with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (9780735658080): Orin Thomas: Books
