First, Welcome to the forum.

Second, what sort of experience do you have using the items covered in the 680 exam? What materials (books, whitepapers, etc..) did you use to assist in your prep for this exam?

Lastly, do not give up hope. Many folks have failed exams, and several this one, so you are not alone (though I doubt that makes you feel better), but sometimes one needs to fail one to simply get themselves back on-track for what is needed to prepare for an exam.

Thank you, Plantwiz. I used the book, Microsoft Self training kit, and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. After I failed, I found a good source here. I should do more labs.

For starters you used **** material, and a fair chance at why you failed.

I would recommend, if you don't have it already, to set up a lab and practice if you don't have enough experience in the field. Try an additional legitimate source perhaps a Sybex Text and some white papers or such.

get the don poulton book and then download the server 2008r2 and win7 enterprise demos from microsoft. throw them on your machines (or use virtual box and throw them on a VM) and read the book, do the labs, know the commands and what they do and you will do fine....
