Hi,
I am planning to write the 70-640, 70-642, 70-643 and 70-646 and I was wondering where to start.
I don't want to tackle one first and later discover that it would have been easier if I have done the other one first.
I am thinking of getting the Microsoft Press books for them.
Any suggestion will be most welcomed. Thanks

Anyway I did them in this order: 70-642, 70-640 and 70-646 for Server: 70-680, 70-643 and 70-647 for the Enterprise and then 70-686 for EDA. That worked well for me and I liked the order I took them in but I'm sure others will have different opinions.Thanks, Tom

Without question, the 70-642. I deviated from that plan when I went with the Sybex R2 book and failed the 70-640 the first time. Had I gone with the 70-642 first and passed that, it would have made the 70-640 a lot easier, in my opinion. When I took the 70-642, it had a lot of overlap from the 70-640...DFS, DirectAccess, NAP, etc, etc. -

I am going for MCITP: Enterprise Administrator on Windows Server 2008.
I am writing the 70-680 10/18.

I did 640 first, but in hindsight, 642 is the better choice if you have a working knowledge of 2003/2008.
Also, 646 isn't required for Enterprise Admin, I believe. Did you mean to say 647?
edit: I haven't actually passed/taken 642, so I'm just basing my recommendation on the self study kit and the first "chapter" of the Boson practice exam... YMMV, as always.
