Hi all.
Passed 70-411 the other day. Fairly annoying that all the extra effort in studying R2 wasnt worth it as there wasn't a single question about cloning DFS, web application proxy or any of the smaller topics. Instead there was some very whacky question about something I've never heard about, involving Sysvol, DFS, FRS, the computer account and the registry. I must have gotten it wrong because other areas I did well in according to the score report.
I'm worried about 70-412 as there doesn't seem to be a look of books out there (no exam ref). Has anyone bought the MOAC? Is it worth it?
In summary, I think Microsoft announced R2 with much fanfare, but realized everyone will probably fail because there is no concrete training out there and haven't released new questions yet. I mean "Manage patch management in mixed environments" what the heck does that mean? Windows 2012 & 2003? Windows XP and 8.1? Linux & Unix? Domain & workgroup? LAN & WAN? They could at least point you to a technote somewhere.

Congrats on the pass!!!
Also want to book for this exam pretty soon i have been studying for months now using different resources and now I am repeating all CBT nuggets training videos and every time i take one of these practice exams online i keep on meeting new topics that I have never met before so i end up going back to study just to strengthen my knowledge before the real thing, just want to pass all these exams first time.
All the best with your 70-411 studies!!!

Congrats on the pass! Agreed, the R2 topics were pretty much left out from my exam as well besides the typical "you manage a windows 2012 r2 environment....." intro....Not really going to concern myself with updated study material for the 412. Just going to use what I have and supplement with technet and labs. Good luck in 412!
