70-640 - Are my resources outdated?

Hi everyone!

I'm currently studying a copyrighted 2008 MCTS Self-paced Training Kit Book: Configuring Windows Server 2008 Active Directory and practicing on 2 virtual machines with Windows 2008 Standard installed (non R2).

I was wondering if this is not a good idea and if I should update my book to the latest edition and practice on a R2 Windows 2008 build? Thank you in advance!

Yes. You will not pass if you are not using R2 material. While MS did release a free "What's new in R2" PDF that covers most of the differences, you'll still risk failing if you do not use a comprehensive R2 study guide. Pick up the 2nd Edition of the MS Press book and upgrade your practice questions as well.

Totally agree with the above poster. Also this Feature Components poster is pretty good for revision:

I agree. R2 is a must for your studies. Best of luck!
