Good score.

I passed the 70-291 (Server 2003 infrastructure) a few weeks ago and became an MCSA. The pass score was 700, my score was also 700! I think I was more nervous after I'd seen the score!

Congrats.

I did mine quite a few years ago and I can honestly say I remember hardly any of it. Is it the one where you have to place servers in different places around the world and what order to install stuff or soemthing like that. Contoso or something.

Are you going for the full MCSE?

Nope, that sounds like the design one, this was just infrastructure.

Yep, this is MCP no. 3 - I started in 2003 before I had a techie job. Since I started on the Win 2K track I'll keep going then convert at the end. I haven't found the training company I signed up with too brilliant, they haven't helped very much tbh. I've got a handle on what I'm doing now, I'll be getting through the next ones a lot quicker...

When I did the 2000 track about 3-4 years ago it was just pass or fail so I didnt know whether I had just scraped it or not

Have you done a elective yet? I actually did upgrading from NT to Windows 2000 which was awful.
I bought a Sybex book to upgrade to 2003 (2 exams) but I haven't done the it yet. I did all my exams home study because its the way I felt comfortable studying.

Congratulations Simcfc73

I am reading through the win 2003 infrastructure book as well right now. Any tips and hints in passing the exam?

Just learn the stuff well and look at other reading material as well for more background. I always recommend Mark Miniasi's Windows Server 2003 book
