I've just started on the 70-284 course. I went out and bought the MS Press book from Amazon, although the reviews on the website paint the book in a bad light I still went out and bought it I figured that if I've managed to get by 3 exams by using the press books this one should help me too.
However I'm now on chapter 2 and so far some of the exercises don't feel right. For example, one exercise is to perform an unattended install, but when I carry out the exercise it doesn't create the .ini file.
What materials did you use to pass the 284 exam? I've got the resouces sticky topic bookmarked as a reference already but I like to learn from books instead and use links as supplemental information.
Thanks

I really liked the Sybex book. I used this and CBT Nuggets.“For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.” - Harry F. Banks -

I could barely finish the MS Press book - its boring, way too repetitive on some things, doesn't explain how features work (only what they are), no steps how to perform certain important actions.
Then I finished the Sybex book and the difference is HUGE. It has everything and is well organized. -

I used ExamCram, and it was what I was looking for - a quick brushup. But I supported Exchange 2003 for Microsoft, so I don't recommend it to anymore who needs a comprehensive book on the product to gear up for an exam.
The Transcender for the exam was quite good, too.Good luck to all! -
