70-282 (SBS) differences from MCSE

[chpicker]

How difficult is the 70-282 exam (Designing, Deploying, and Managing a Network Solution for a Small- and Medium-Sized Business) for someone who is already MCSE 2003? Is there a reference anywhere to show what I really need to brush up on to take this exam?

I have a study guide for the exam, but it covers EVERYTHING. I'm looking for something that just covers the stuff I haven't done before. Any suggestions?

chpicker,

Info about the topics covered in the exam are here.

It appears that there's no MS Press book for this exam, but I did find one from another publisher on Amazon.

Good luck!

It shouldn't be difficult at all. Just know what the various wizards do, and the limitations between the stand-alone products and the SBS versions (no trusts, only one SBS box, Exchange limitations, etc).

Wishdiak, that's actually the book that I have. I've browsed through it a bit. However, it's hard to "get into it" because it covers so much information that I already know.

I was hoping to find a reference for the 282 exam that tells me, as an MCSE on 2003, what I really need to know to pass it. Anyone know of anything?

I used the same book as described above. They also have Transcender's on that test. I passed two weeks ago. The questions I felt were poorly written, but nothing too difficult.
