    Panic time

    My strategy was this: 1. Figure out how many I had to get right to get a passing score, that tells you how many you can absolutely get wrong. 2. Do a first pass through answering all you know 100% 3. At the end of the first pass, check how many you haven't answered. Usually it will be less than...

    Panic time

    Not in structure, but the material was very different. 291 was DHCP, DNS, AD while 290 was server centric. I literally had between 5 and 10 WSUS questions on 291, more than I had on 290. There are a few threads about the contents of 290 and 291 exams which I found useful in preparing...

    Panic time

    291 had a lot of DNS questions on DNS configurations I've never seen in use, even after 10 years in different companies (some international). Stub zones, etc. Also, read up and play with WSUS; 290 and 291 both had questions on it. Best wishes on your goal. To quote the crazy cajun in Water Boy...

    Public folder age limits?

    Does anyone set age limits on public folder items? Our organization uses public folders for contacts and calendars. I want to reduce the item count on some of the folders, because they have items dated since 1998 and are over 10,000 items. Does anyone else set age limits on Public Folders? How...

    Panic time

    I have similar background as you, experience wise, and passed all tests except 297 the first take. Some were close, because I don't use some of the things MS thinks are important. I finished all tests except 297 in about half the time. I never came close to time limits. After starting testing...

    Blackberry v Windows Mobile Devices

    Another thing worth mentioning is that Blackberries are tougher on the server. One Blackberry is the equivalent of 4-5 Outlook clients connecting simultaneously. My servers can handle it, but some may not be able to. Dan CCA Citrix 4.0 MCSA: Messaging 2003 MCSE 2003

    Search for mail in PST based on subject

    I have to search through PST files looking for mail that has certain words in the subject line. There are several possibilities that the subject may contain. Currently they only want the mail that has that text in the subject line. I cannot get my outlook 2007 to properly search based on the...

    Am I ready ?

    The scores that you get on the Testout and MS Press tests should be similar to what you get on the actual test. You need a 700 to pass. The Actualtests sheets should be used extremely cautiously, often their answers are wrong and the only real value they add is that their presentation of the...

    Ubuntu DHCP server lists it's address as 1.1.1.1

    I just installed an Ubuntu 7.1 server as a DHCP server for a perimeter wireless network. When I check the client's IP configuration, they report the DHCP server's IP address as 1.1.1.1, even though the servers IP address is not that address. I can ping the server by it's real address. I am...

    Outlook 2003 Signature Image

    Try deleting the value 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' from the location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security. I've seen this cause that problem. Disclaimer - messing with the registry can be bad and if it crashes your PC it isn't my fault. Back it up first, and read...

    70-284 advice requested

    Right now they have the promotion going on to get a free retest if you fail. Definitely sign up for that so if you miss it by a few questions you will be OK. And if you fail, jump right back in and take it again. Every day you wait you will forget more material. I failed my last test for MCSE...

    70-284 advice requested

    For the exam you need to know what you can and can't upgrade from 5.5, and how to migrate from 5.5. You don't have to know how to run 5.5. They want to make sure you know what extra steps there are to migrate, not how to run 5.5. You won't need a copy of 5.5, just need to memorize the steps to...

    Recipient address rejected: No such user

    Is your incoming mail scanned by a spam filter? I filter mine, and that program first checks that the address is legitimate by checking it against a copy of the valid addresses for my domain. That list is updated daily, so for the first 24 hours or so mail will bounce. Paste in the copy of the...

    Outlook stopped sending, still receives

    Under account settings for outlook, it should allow you to test the account settings. That may shed light on your problem. CCA Citrix 4.0 MCSA: Messaging 2003 MCSE 2003

    Failed 297. VERY different than the other tests

    Somewhat. I used them to review at the end of my studying. The simulations were helpful, and I used them for 290 and 291 for the lessons on certificates and GPO's as we don't use that much at work. I work on servers for a job so a lot of the other stuff was not as new. For later tests it was...

    search for email in exchange

    No way to tell then, since even checking each mailbox will miss any deleted during the year. Going forward there are ways that you can tell, but looking back will not be possible. CCA Citrix 4.0 MCSA: Messaging 2003 293 - passed 294 - passed

    Failed 297. VERY different than the other tests

    I failed 70-297 last night. I passed all other MS tests on the first try, and this one was set up very different. Instead of having 2 hours or so to answer 40+ questions, you had 20 or so minutes to read a scenario, then answer 5 or 6 questions, review them and move on. I am used to taking a...

    DST issues recurring

    lludlow, So far the answer is this: If it's only some meetings, make sure all clients are patched. Then run Outlook update on mailboxes that had appointments created from that client when unpatched, if any. An alternate is to cancel any appointments with issues, then have the user recreate...
