Hey, Guys..
Good news passed 70-290 after my 2nd wack at it.. got 785.. whoopee..Overall
I think the exam questions were very realistic and practical .. good job MS
atleast you're listening to our concerns and moving toward a more practical
and realistic question.. The only question I did not like on the test which
seems to be irrelevant were the RAID question.. No one really uses MS /OS
raid on their server.. Every server I install use hardware raid.. In my
opinon these questions should be removed from the exam,.. No need , since
no one really uses software RAID..
Just my two cents...
