Not sure if i'm ready, but I have been putting it off for a long time. I just don't care for the material that the exam covers. If it wasn't for already passing 217 & 219, I would just skip it and take 218 instead. This should be my last exam for the 2000 track, because my NT 4.0 electives are supposed to count, but I will believe that when I see it on my transcript.

10/2000 - Pro
8/2002 - Server
4/2003 - AD
6/2003 - Designing AD

    Best of luck to you!
    I actually found this exam to be easier than everyone made it out to be.... And for myself personally, I found it to be far easier than the 219.

    I think the biggest thing to know is DNS and especially how DNS and DHCP work together.

    A little less then three hours to go. I wasn't very amused, when I realized that I scheduled the exam for Friday the 13th.

    Good Luck!
    I'm sure you will do fine! Even if it is Friday the 13th! *sigh* I was actually planning to take the 219 again today.... But, I've not been hitting the new book that hard yet.

    Passed. I did well on WINS, DNS, and DHCP, but not that great on the other topics. I'm glad to finally have this one behind me.

    If my electives do count towards the 2000 track, I will go to 292 next. If not, I will be going for Security+.

    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

    I'm confused why people are still going for this certification. It will be retired March 2008 (9 months away).

    because I only had one exam left and completing it will allow me to take the upgrade exams instead of taking the 4 core Windows 2003 exams.

    Congrats!! and good luck with the upgrades. Don't let 70-292 scare you, if you can get past it 70-296 is a breeze.

    There are many people out there who certified originally under NT4, that want/wanted to keep the continuity of their MCSE certification. ie: NT4----Windows 2000----Windows 2003----Windows 2008 and beyond....

    The other possibility is that they are still using a W2K network. So, there is a method to the madness! icon_wink.gif

    Additionally, it's just the exams going away. Anyone certified before that time will still be certified afterwards too.
    All things are possible, only believe.
  • ITdudeITdude Member Posts: 1,181 ■■■□□□□□□□
    yup! icon_wink.gif

    woohoo!!!
    I passed the 70-216 today aswell, scored 753, glad to see very few questions on legacy protocols & lots of questions on technologies/protocols which are still used today. I did sweat it though & thought that I'd be sitting this exam once again!

    http://www.techexams.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27701

    Now onto 70-217!

    Then 70-219,220,221 then upgrade to 2003 before the end of March 2008 icon_confused.gif
