Everything was fairly straight forward and the simulations ( I think I had about 13 or so if not more) were normal things you would and should see if you have had server administration experience. Now on to the 70-291 and that one scares me. Any advice on what materials to use for it? I used the Microsoft Self-paced training kit and a little bit of Transcender.

The questions are fairly straightforward, and there were way more simulations that I expected. I think what hurt me is that I don't have as much actual face time with Server 2003 as I would have liked.

Disaster recovery is my weak point, as well as software RAIDS and IIS, as I have never done those so I gotta brush up. Not sure yet if I'm going to cram on my weak points and take it again this weekend or wait another week and a half.
