Insight on 70-293 exam

I just passed 70-293 last Thursday - it was by far easier than 291, though similar.
I had three sims come up, one where I had to take existing GPOs and apply them to correct containers to perform a set of tasks (they had been assigned to the wrong containers). You could not edit or create a new GPO, you had to work with what they had. The second involved editing the Domain Controllers GPO to make SMB and IPSec preferred, but not required, as they had to connect to pre-2000 computers. It was just a matter of turning off the "Always" setting as the other setting were already enabled.
The last sim required you to disable system "features" that were no longer being used. It said that the system used to be a streaming media server, but no longer holds that role, so you had to uninstall it, which just required you to go to the control panel > windows components, and uncheck the media services box. Simple.
For the most part the whole exam was fairly simple, I used the Testout CD for this exam and the Transcender practice exam to study and passed with a 925.
My only advice is make sure you read the questions carefully - my experience with the MS exams is that usually the question cuts out some of the possible answers and this one was no different - there were a couple questions I was unsure of until I read the question again and realized it negated my other options.
