    Congrats on the pass!! Thats a Exchange 2007 exam right? Since its such a new cert and not many people have passed it so far on the forum, is it possible to discuss your preperation for the exam? I.e. books used, did you have experience in the real world with the product? Lab setups if used etc? This can help people in the future when the preparing for the exam.

    Thanks! 8)

    To try and answer a few of the questions above.

    I have installed and looked after Exchange 2007 in a live environment. It’s a fairly small infrastructure with only 4 Exchange servers and about 100 users but they are clustered and this cover’s most stuff for the Exam. Previous to this I have supported 5.5 and 2003 so I have been using various version of Exchange for 7 years or so now. With about 6 months of 2007 experience

    To Study I used the following

    1/ The MSPress study guide - http://www.amazon.co.uk/MCTS-Self-P...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212135279&sr=8-1
    2/ A book called Exchange 2007 unleashed - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-E...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212135314&sr=1-1
    3/ Virtual machines - You can download a 32bit evaluation version of Exchange 2007 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...9E-605F-4A82-96D5-A2F448C9D4FF&displaylang=en. I had a fairly simple set up of one Edge server and a server holding all the other roles along with a DC and a XP client with Outlook 2007 installed.
    4/ There is a load of Exchange 2007 info at the following link http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/tnexchangeserver.aspx?tab=webcasts&id=42340 (I have linked to a series of webcasts called 24h of Exchange which are a really good intro but the rest of the site has some good stuff as well)
    5/ The usual reading of technet articles and things on the web (http://www.msexchange.org/ is a good Exchange site for all versions)
    6/ Work also sent me on an Exchange 2007 course a few months ago but all of the above were much more useful and I would recommend above the official instructor led course

    Not sure how much I can say about the exam but there was a large amount of Powershell. You will need to know not only the cmdlets but the options as well so this is what to focus on for your revision. There were no Sims on the exam but a few of the put these in order type questions.
