I recently took the 70-282 exam and prepared with Microsoft's Partner
website using their recommended course. The preparation from this site was
far from even close to what the questions demanded, and I failed the exam.

Can someone recommend a source that can help me field the extremely complex
questions the test asks? I have a number of years of supporting microsoft
networks.

Thanks,

John

One of the problems with this test is that its not an SBS Exam. So people
prepare by learning all about SBS and time after time they fail. While there
are SBS questions here and there they are not the majority. This is an exam
to help prove you know what to deploy and implement the right solution for
the right sized clients and small and medium sized business. You need a
broader knowledge base than just SBS. I would recommend you take another
look at the objectives:

And you might also want to buy this book.

Thanks for your advice.

I understand that the exam covers more than Small Business Server; however,
the 70-282 course that microsoft provides on their partner website covers
elementary aspects of sbs. Why would they offer such a lame course when the
actual test is extremely different?

Because in that point on the MSE Track you've already learned the rest.
Taken in order it less lame, but I do feel your pain

From your background and apparent knowledge I'd guess you'll do fine. Good
luck with the exam.
