Thinking about taking it.

I'm really thinking about trying for my mcsa:security. I took the 70-270 and passed it in like 05 I think. I was wondering if my study materials are good enough. I have the Microsoft 70-290 book, a Thompson book I used for my server 2003 class, and I'll use the TechNotes on here. I have had a formal class on server 2003 and infratructure, as well as, 2 years off and on hands on experience.
I bring nothing useful to the table...

    I'm also preparing for 70-290. I strongly recommend Transcender sim exams. Great learning tool as well with their explanations.

    Oh yeah, I've used Transcender stuff before. Excellent test prep material. I'm not sure I'm going to use it on this exam. I think I can just get it by brushing up, and doing some labs with stuff I don't remember.

    I'm dragging my feet. I just can't seem to get motivated to do it.

    Personally, I would read a lot of different sources for this test. I used exam prep and found it lacking. They write great books, but it is more of a refresher then a stand alone source. I think the your best shot is sitting down and spending most of your time getting to know the GUI and dos apps by heart. Spend a lot of time creating accounts,groups, ADUC, permissions, shares, backing up, ect.
    The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.
