N1K Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 If your goal is MCSE, then I would go for 70-270 next.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I agree with N1K. My path was: 270, 291 and 293 ... I am now working for the Exchange Server 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondercik Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 291 was hard. I am taking 70-284 next as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yes. Actually it was pretty hard. Thank god I bought the MSPress books. Those are MUCH better than the ones Microsoft provides (at least for the ones that have classes).Even tho the 291 was 'aggressive', it was a very interesting exam. I learned allot from it.Cant say the same about the 290 and 270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondercik Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I NEVER want to see the phrase "your server is funcationing as a router" again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 LOLOL! Indeed! When will Microsoft understand the Software routers suck!? I know, I know ... Marketing, they have to say the Windows 2003 with RRAS rulez! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondercik Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Also, if you really want to understand what is going on, use VMware to set up a virtual lab so you can configure the servers and actually do the work instead of just reading about it.

CptMurphy Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 How hard is the 70-270? I'm trying to learn on my own by using the M$ self-paced training kit and the OS. Also got a cramExam book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 M$? What does this mean? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemonforce Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 LOLOL! Indeed! When will Microsoft understand the Software routers suck!? Like the original deal is any better...While my server isn't too great at handling queries from this box immediately after a forced load from the server, it's really my fault for using legacy hardware, a crossover cable...ICS...But I'm lazy. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
