Hi everyone, I'm new here - but I read through these forums a fair bit when doing my A+ recently (passed two days ago). I'm now self-studying for the MCDST.

One quick question. It's really unclear to me what are the latest and up to date books for MCDST. The top results on Amazon look a bit stale.

I liked the Sybex best for my A+. Can someone who knows tell me what the latest one is? And anyone else, what books did you find most valuable?

Lastly - the exam isnt going to get updated while I'm studying for it, is it? Just wondering as it looks old, and Vista has been about for a while...yet the MS site tells me both exams are in XP.

Any help much appreciated

 

Hello mate - Thanks for your advice.

I'm starting to get really confused as to what cert track to take.

Okay, so the MCITP is the newer version of MCDST - exactly the same but covering Vista rather ran XP?

In that case I had better look at doing MCITP instead of MCDST - except theres nowhere near the same breadth of training materials out there for MCITP...

Please help, if you get a second. And thanks again for your time!

 

anyone?

 

I wouldn's say that the MCITP is the same as the MCDST (the Vista one). Bear in mind that things have changed quite a but since XP came out.

The MCDST is still a very relevant as XP is going to be around and require support for a long time to come.
