    Grats on the pass. I need to find the time to get back on this one. Training 4 new people at work, anniversary, mother coming in for a few days, car troubles, and a decent bit of overtime, i'm pretty well beat when I get home. Was only off by a few questions, gonna try and get back on it this evening if I can.

    I have not used the MS Training Kit books for any test for Server 2008 R2 so I really can't compare the two. I did however order 646 and 643 R2 MS Training Kits the other day waiting for them to come in. As for the Sybex lab's not the best lab's I have seen but for my studies I'm about 50% read 25% Practice Test and 25% Lab so I don't depend on labbing to much I know that some people learn more by doing lab's but I learn more by reading.

    If you are looking for what I think are the best Lab books out that would have to be Amazon.com: Exam 70-642 Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration with Lab Manual Set (Microsoft Official Academic Course Series) (978047087501icon_cool.gif: Microsoft Official Academic Course: Books I used those books at my Tech school but they are not for R2 and they are very expensive.

    Thanks alot, for me labing is more important, so I'll stick to MS training Kits and shoot the Sybex book a look at the end.

    Firstly nice job. I grossly under estimated the 70-642 and got hammered. I passed the 70-640 on my first attempt and felt this subject matter would be easier for me. Thats why I didn't prep as hard. Well I learned my lesson. Gonna give myself another couple of weeks before I try again.

    Has anyone else used the free second shot retakes from Microsoft/Prometric? How do you sign up/register for the re-take. I'm a little lost. The link they provided no longer works.
