Do you want to start with Windows 2003? Or Windows 2008? I found that the MS Press core exam kit for 2003 (that covered exams 290, 291, 293 and 294) had pretty good content, and the CD that came with it had questions that were much tougher than the actual exams. If you can get 70% on the practise questions on that CD, you'll pass the actual exam without any issues.
That said, there are only really two exams that cover AD per se. 70-294 is the Active Directory operations/management exam, and 70-297 is the AD design exam (which is the horrible case study format). You'd only need to do 70-297 if you want to do your MCSE. All the other exams cover other stuff. 70-290 is pretty simple if you know all the features of Windows Server 2003 (from shares to printers to clustering to setup etc - not in any depth, but just know your options). 70-291 and 70-293 cover mostly the same things - TCP/IP + subnetting, DHCP, DNS, WINS and similar technologies. 70-294 covers AD operations Cheers Ken > -----Original Message----- > From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, 29 April 2008 8:01 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Active Directory tests > > So....after "fighting" going after an MS cert for many years I've come > to the conclusion it will help enhance my career (having no certs AND > no > college degree).
