It really is breathtaking the lengths people will go to be
completely unhelpful, when they could have spent half the
time offering a useful tip or two.

Take your smug attitude guys and find a seatless bike, if
you haven't already. Are you bored trolls or just
a$$holes?

Ok Jo,

When it comes to 70-270, of course there are many options
for exam preparation. I can only share with you my
experience, but the good news is that it worked.

I bought the Dan Balter "Exam Cram" book, in addition to
the "Practice Questions" by Ed Tittel, also part of
the "Exam Cram" series. I read the book thoroughly, took
the questions, and got my hands on practice tests from
other vendors such as Transcender. I think it's important
for you to practice from different vendors to establish a
comfort level with question phrasing. But do not use them
for the bulk of studying or you will fail.

My recommendation is that you practice on an XP Pro PC
along with a Win 2000 server if possible. The server will
be a very useful way for you to practice with interaction
such as Active Directory, Group Policy, and Remote
Installation Server along with other things. The
relationship with Win2K server (and NT 4 server to a much
lesser extent) plays a large role in many of the exam
questions.

Other topics to really know inside and out include
basic/dynamic disks, encryption, share/NTFS permissions,
offline folders, etc. The topic list is a really long
one, but take your time and expect the whole process to
take one month if you really focus.

My exam in the U.S. was 50 or 55 questions and I was given
2 hours to finish.

Please email me for any recommendations. But I can't
reveal specific questions as that would violate the
Microsoft agreement. And I worked quite hard for it.

Hope this helps and good luck.

I'm with you JP on this pair of idiots.

I have posted in the past on JaR's completely unhelpful and smart arse
answers.
I don't know why they bother even visiting here as all they ever do is act
like a couple pricks.

Guy's if you havent anything decent to say shut it. Spend your time actually
doing the exams rather than TALKING about it. They pass one MCP exam and
think they are gods gift to IT newsgroups.

You are of course welcome to contribute a useful answer. I notice that you
didn't do that either. In fact other than flame JR twice you haven't done
much of anything except repost the "perfect dump" joke.

If you bother to read the postings you will notice that useful well thought
out and researched questions will get answers. Other than that many of us
have been around here long enough to get tired of people asking the same
question over and over again because they are too lazy to look up the answer
themselves or even scan through the previous postings in the newsgroup. Lord
help you if you try to tell someone where to find the answer on their own as
that's not acceptable to either.

Ok, you want helpful, here it is......

The reason for smart ass answers on questions like these, is that we are
breeding a whole new set of IT Professionals that could not find the answer
to their own name on the net, if it was written in big block letters across
the screen. They have no clue as to where to go look for anything, and the
questinos they are asking, ie how many questions, has been answered even in
here so many times that it makes my head spin.

I was at one time, one of those newbies. I came into this group without a
clue, and without a quarter to buy a clue. I asked some pretty lame
questions, and I got lambasted at every turn. Consultant was one of the
biggest assholes to me at the time. I would go home from work, and complain
to my boyfriend how everyone on this newsgroup was an asshole, and they were
so mean. He finally asked me one day why i thought that, and I told him it
was because i would ask these questions, and they would make fun of me. He
asked me what I did to find the answers first, and I told him, I just went
to the group. He started laughing at me, and told me I deserved it. I
should know by now how to find answers on google. And thus I started
looking for my own answers, and only asking questions when I could not find
the answer. So all these "assholes" taught me a very valuable lesson. I
really do appreciate it, and even though I have never met them in person, I
consider them friends. They helped me.

So there you have it. Ask a question that you should have at least did some
sort of research on first, and you will get blasted. And then maybe you
will learn to go look for the answer. Then when you are in the server room,
and you are getting errors all over the screen because you installed a USB
vibrator, you won't have to ask the question here, and hope that someone is
up at 2:00 in the morning to give you an answer before your boss comes in.
you will have learned how to go study and find the answers for yourself.

Thank you, and come again!!!

I would also suggest that if you are going to play with XP Pro in a
Network environment that you do so using a virtual session, by this I
mean using something like VMWare or MS VirtualPC, this software allows
you to take snapshots of the OS and you don't run the risk of
corrupting your own workstation.

You should know the restrictions that XP Home has, know about GPO's
and Local Policies, know about EFS and about DRA's (DRA is a Data
Recovery Agent). As mentioned you need to know about Basic and
Dynamic disks, you also need to know what kind of volumes you can
have.

You need to know about Share level and NTFS permissions, you have to
know about RIS (Remote Installation Services), know about SUS
(although that's more to do with 290), Windows Updates.

As for what materials to use, I would suggest using the MS Press
Training Kit, I would also have a look at some practice exams such as
Transcender and Boson, if you can lick those exams you should be fine
on the real one.

You should also be aware that the pass mark for this exam is 700 (all
the MS exams are 700 I believe).

As exams go this isn't too difficult, if you have a good understanding
of XP then you should be fine, if you don't know what NTFS or FAT is
then you may have problems.

You dimwitted dolt, I did give an answer. Sadly, the two of you appear to
be so incredibly dense that you don't get it. I not only dragged you,
kicking and screaming to the answer, but it was in a place that you could
find the answers to thousands of like questions. What a pair of fscking
morons. And you wonder why the regulars here get exasperated with the
like of you two. What an asset you will be to any future employers. I'm
sure that the instructions on flipping burgers will be woefully
inadequate as well.

Oh. One more thing.

"It really is breathtaking the lengths people will go to be

To beat this dead horse a little more (no, Virginia...this is not the same
as beating the Monkey...so quite drooling).

If a parent carries a child everywhere, never allowing it to crawl, walk or
run; are they being helpful or maintaining an unnatural dependency?

The point in being a professional is learning how to adapt what you know to
solve things that you don't know. Seems as if many people go to great
lengths to maintain a pristine brain, uncluttered by facts, figures or
technique.
