What did you use for Solaris Admin Certification?

I knew this was coming. A few months ago, we were told you needed to be certified in anything you supported. I tried several times to pin people down as to when we needed the certification. Now we are told our group needs to be all Solaris Admin certified by August 1st. There is only one publisher who supplies the books, outside of Oracle, so not a lot in variety. I bought the two books for the two test. Two are required for one cert. I also bought, LinuxCBT's Solaris videos. Any other good source out there? Transcender only has one of the two tests covered for Solaris 10.

Everyone here at my job studied the two books. but they also previously had hands on.

If you have hands on experience then the two books is all that you need.

I'm currently studyinig the 2 books.

I have hands-on, but don't many of the subjects covered on the tests. I do have a couple of SPARC workstations I can build and rebuild.

Official SUN training books. I don't like the two commercial books at all, and they don't cover all the topics anyway...
