Finally Passed the exam yesterday on my second shot

I have waited nearly 6 months to say this. First attempt was back in April, I scored 568. I thought I was ready but clearly wasn't so I had a break for a few months studied for 6 weeks and scored 976. I am still in a bit of shock, it took a lot out me.
Now on 291, aiming for end of Jan 06.

Study material: The Self Paced Training Book from MS Managing and Maintaining Windows Server 2003, Summarised booklet of 100 pages which I got from my Training Academy, This site, Practice exams from various sites, Training lab at home and on the job training.
I also picked out the main areas gathering info again from various sites but mainly this one, eg Shadow Copies, Share/NTFS permissions, backups, disk management, groups, user accounts. I had 4 sims on the exam.

Thanks to everyone on this site for all your posts the information I gathered was invaluable. If you new to this forum then I suggest reading as many of the posts on this site as you can, it does pay off.
