Info on Windows 70-210 Exam

[bobby13]

Hi all,

Has anyone recently (past 6 months)sat for the 20-710 exam. I wanted to know what sort of questions the exam particularly tested candidates on e.g unattended installation & RIS.


Also I was informed that each question you get wrong during the exam the examination program automatically asks you more questions in that subject. Is this TRUE?

The problem i'm having is that the questions that are asked in the self-test exams are so different to what you have read in the books, my background is in Financial Accounts.

Regards
Bobby

Bobby, if you practice with RIS, you'll learn enough to answer all your questions...

I recommend buying a couple of old Pentium 133 or 166 boxes (averaging under $35 online) and loading them up with eval software (or something from your MSDN subscription) and practicing until it's 2nd nature... you can probably appreciate the 1st edition books are in the sub-$5 range in used bookstores and online so feel free to load up (many have practice exams, eval software, extra labs)...

Thanks JTB, I don't plan to do the full MCSA course I only want to pass the 70-210 exam, our financial accounting system is based on Oracle 9i on a win2003 server, and all clients are windows 2000 workstations.

I want to master win2k so that I don't have to rely on IT support to remedy any desktop problems within our Finance Team.

understood... but remember that MS often puts questions "from other topics" on each test... and managing a W2K Professional environment as a Systems Admin might involved RIS... which "feels like" a server topics...

I'd recommend setting up a "generic" server and fiddling with active directory, DNS, and so on just so you understand that the "desktop problems" might be a result of DHCP not being set up right, incorrect AD setup, or GPOs appliend in a different order than envisioned...

Good Fortune!!
