Study Guides

I am uploading the first 4 study guides I used to study for the exam. The information in my study guides were obtained through various Microsoft Books, training videos, other study guides from this forum, and Technet. The format of each one is different and changes as I go along. I never could get comfortable with a format.

I will be uploading the rest within the next few days.

Hope this helps.

These are great. Many thanks!

Thanks, I will be uploading more tomorrow.

Great stuff, rep for you, looking forward to the rest.

Thanks zrockstar. The people in this forum have helped me out quite a bit, so I am just returning the favor. Attached is the next group of study guides. Rather than just have 1 or 2 guides, I have found it easier for myself to divide them up into the subject I am focusing on at the time. Others may want to combine them, whatever works for them.

Intro to AD.doc

Managing Computers.doc

Managing Groups.doc

Here is the next few study guides.

Account Automation.doc

Improving Authentication Security.doc

Security of AD Objects.doc

Server Core.doc

Nice, thanks again! What cert are you working on currently? Are you going to finish up the 2008 track?

Thanks for this!! I can say after taking 70-640 and failing the first time I'm excited about these...

I am already working on the 70-642. My plan is to get my MCITP for Server Administrator and then get re-certified in Cisco.

Sorry to hear about the first exam. I was worried that was going to happen to me, but I skated by. I hope these can help you and good luck on your second try.

Here are the additional roles.

Cool LB, good luck on the 642. My school's server track starts with 646, so I am in that class right now and hoping to go for the cert at the end of the term. I know it is supposed to be the "last" in the series, but so far nothing has been difficult to keep track of.

Thanks, good luck with your 646. I'm not sure that the order of the exams matter as long as you pass all three.

Attached are the next 5 study guides. I'll post the final two next.

AD Recycle Bin.doc

Configuring Sites and Subnets.doc

Functional Levels.doc

Security Templates.doc

OK, here is the last two. If anyone has any question, ask away.

Sites and Replication.doc

Great work! Thank you!

My pleasure; good luck on your exam.

Awesome! I am working on the 70-642 now but I will be starting the 640 afterwards.

Good luck on your 642. I started studying for 642 this week; seems like I will like this one better than the 640.

Thanks for the Study Guides. Looking forward to taking my 70-640 asap. I'm sure this will help greatly. Much appreciated.

My pleasure. When studying for the 640, make sure you lab as much as possible. There is so much info on this exam, that doing labs helps to remember things for the exam.

Good luck!

Good stuff here - taking 70-647 this weekend, and I've labbed the hell out of everything, but this looks like good final review for the week before the test. Rep given.

Thanks, glad it can help. Good luck on your exam. If you labbed like you said, you should do just fine.

Love your avatar

Thanks, Lunchbocks, very valuable stuff.

My pleasure, glad it helps.

Incredible!
Now, where are the 70-642 docs?? Slacker.

Thanks. I am actually creating my first one for 642, IP Addresses. I will probably start posting those before I test, but not sure when.

Hi Lunchbocks, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to put those study guides together and sharing them with us. I've been working off the server 2008 R2 training kit and the labs plus technet towards taking the 70-640. Though my attempts at putting some concise study guide together has failed with me not sure on the level of detail needed for every point as it's easy with the vast amount of information for this exam to write your own book. Thanks again, the ones I've viewed are spot on, keep up the good work

Thanks Chev, it's my pleasure. After taking a few months off to get through the holidays and get some projects done, I have started studying for the 70-642 exam. As I get my study guides done for this exam, I will post them as well.

Good luck on your exam. If you do a lot of labbing with studying, you should do well.

Taking the this exam on Thursday, hopefully all my labbing and work projects this month upgrading our 2k3 servers to 08/r2 will be enough.

The labbing and real-world migrations will definitely help. How up are you on DNS, AD CS, AD RMS, and AD FS?

Good luck!
