70 680 questions

Hey All,

I am looking to take the 70 680 exam, again, in the next month or so. I have been looking at online practice tests, and these types of questions are the ones that kill me. How doe you find the answers, or get experience, with things like this?

Which command will you use to update the configuration of a volume to support a newly installed DRA?

Cipher.exe
manage-bde.exe
command.com
fdisk.exe
managebde.exe

I have little idea what some of those are, much less how they relate. Any assistance is appreciated!

I must admit I would not have got that one but for Googling... wasn't sure what the DRA was. The answer is Cipher.exe if you google the question it's the first answer and this page is the second item listed!

That's the kind of questions you will see on the exam.
Manage-bde is used to manage BitLocker.
Command.com and fdisk.exe is some old DOS stuff so you probably know those.
Cipher is the right answer.

That is my point....how do you figure these things out without googleing them? What book are they in which explains all this?

Yeah, Microsoft throws those questions at you to test your powers of deduction. Sometimes it's not in a Microsoft Press or whoever book. I don't remember the 70-680 book covering EFS specifically but I do remember EFS in the Windows XP exams. So some of it, just comes down to experience. Maybe you know a lot about bit-locker and that makes it easy for you to rule out the other answers.

70-680 is a hard exam because of the curve balls it throws you. And for people arriving at it as their first MS exam, they often fail because there is stuff covered in the server exams which gives you a full picture of a technology being questioned.

If you have 50 questions and you need 70% that's 15 questions you can get wrong and still pass - so you can expect a few questions in the exam like that (which haven't been covered fully in a book).

Ya, the first time I took the 70 680 I got a middle 400's, because I was used to studying for it like I studied for my CompTIA trio..very different type of exam..this thing just sucks...
