I take it you have got the microsoft books?

 

I found by creating a simulation network at home with three computers one set as the server and two clients did me the world of good in relation to seeing and understanding what was actually happening. Virtual Pc is quite good as well only found this after i had done exam.

 

Good luck m8

Thanks Bossman... Checked out the MS Website on reqirements doesn't look all that bad... although I've heard bad things about this exam... Officially known as the beast on the 2003 track.. like 70-216 on the Windows 2000 track.

 

I've sat the official MS Course for this exam... suppose I just need loadz of practice on DNS, DHCP, Routing etc and on exam questions..

 

Hoping to sit this sometime in September if al goes to plan....

Congratulations Towen.

 

From my experience with 70-291, my advice would be "overlook nothing". With the other exams they tend to focus on the most important areas of the curriculum to make sure you have the basics down.

 

Without going into NDA-busting detail, I'd say that 70-291 doesn't have that bias and dredges up a whole load of obscure stuff that you might've assumed you wouldn't need to memorize. I'd make sure you've read every bit of exam prep material you can get your hands on so you at least have a chance of dragging answers from a dark corner of your mind.

 

Nearly there, keep on keeping on!
