Same here mate, I actually spent a month and a half on 291, failed then have avoided it since. Decided to get my confidence back getting a few others first before I try again . . . . (gulp!)

I never seem to find any motivation unless I have something set in stone.. so I think I might just book this exam for end of aug?

When people say it's hard.. how hard do they mean? :P

Do it mate, I'm the same, unless an exam is booked I won't focus 100%.

When we say hard, its more that you have to know such a broad range of subjects for this one mate. DNS, DHCP, IPSec, VPNs, WINS all have to be known in intricate detail. I can normally pass an exam from just studying but this one is deffo an exam where you need to have had hands on experience in addition to your studies to pass IMHO. I've failed it once and am resitting next Thursday. I'm a lot more conident this time around tho as I've studied on and off for 4-5 months just on 291.

[Daniel]

Ah dont worry, we'll all do fine.

It's not really 'hard', it's just the same with any cert, just learn it.

Thats a very bland way of looking at it, but it all boils down to just learning it.

No see what your saying mate, thousands have passed it so we'll do it. I'm sitting it next Thursday and am feeling a lot more confident after a few months studying. Wish me luck, Jim

What is Replmon.exe By Brian Gibson

Replmon is the first tool you should use when troubleshooting Active Directory replication issues. As it is a graphical tool

I like graphical then command line.

Helpfull

[jk2447]

An example of when you'd use replmon is lets say I have James.com, which has two Domain Controllers jay1 and jay2. Jay 1 and Jay 2 are active directory integrated meaning basically they have AD and DNS on them. If I wanted to check that James.com was replicated on both Jay1 and Jay2, I'd log onto Jay1 and use replmon, to check Jay2 was the same as Jay1 i.e. that they both were shown as DC's of James.com

[Ence]

why is now I can hear the bloody hoover

Have been working on IPSec again and looking at IPSecmon.
