Some questions gave too much info, I had to pick out what was pertinent to the problem and solution. Quite a few questions related to sharing and security, and performance issues. There were two questions, which I thought were screwy, mainly because they gave more than one correct answer, but only asked for one. Either way, I passed. Now it's time to crack a few open and celebrate!
