    Dear Ed,
    I recently read your article regarding the SP2 and the MCP exam. I was wondering if you know whether the Microsoft exam itself has been updated to reflect these changes. I intend to take the 70-270 exam, but the exam prep books I find in bookshops are too old to have any reference to SP2. I know Microsoft is bringing out an updated book, but I don't believe it has been released yet. My question is this, if I prepare for the 70-270 exam using current materials (most printed in 2002), will this be sufficient for the exam, ie. does the exam require the updated XP knowledge?

    Tip of the Week:
    Strong password policies are one of the many cornerstones of good administrative practice. That said, if an administrator is responsible for several dozen machines, all of which need to have a password rotated regularly, the process of manually providing new passwords for each machine can be tiresome. In this tip, Site Expert Serdar Yegulalp describes a utility that makes password changes easier.
