I passed 70-270 today, only just though with a score of 747

BE WARNED Dont underestimate the exam folks!, the questions did not seem very "widespread" although i dont think it helped that i started learning the 70-270 with some mickey mouse books! But hey i passed

I am on the road to my MCSE, but which exam should i study for next? and should i stick with sybex books, or get an MS press book also?

Well done on passing, I would recommend the MS books

 

I agree with Johnd76, the MS Press books are very good. I also like Mark Minassi's "Mastering Server 2003" book, although it is 12,000,000 pages, there is GREAT information in there to suppliment your studying. I think the next logical step would be for the 70-290 exam.

Good luck, and congrats!

 

Congratulations on your pass!

In relation to what you want to do next, if your gunning toward MCSA/MCSE, 70-290 is the most appropriate step.

I would recommend the MS Press Book and also CBT Nuggets which can be found here http://www.cbtnuggets.com/

 

Cool, thanks for the advice guys

I am looking at the server 2003 books on amazon at the moment, going to give the sybex one a miss this time, seems to be a minefield of 2003 MS books which one should i go for?

Although not really into great depth, i may supplement it with Master Visually Windows Server 2003, as my boss has this book and i was impressed with the walkthroughs, diagrams ect.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Master-Visually-Windows-Server-2003/dp/0764579223/ref=sr_1_37?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216418610&sr=8-37

 

I've got bothof the books you've linked to, and they are both excellent books.

Indeed, the Master Visually book is written by none other than our own Tripwire 45.

Happy reading!

 

Thanks Giddy,

Which Ms press book do i go for, as there seems many for 2003?

Also still debating about doing server 2008 instead, any advice?

 

thanks sparky, having a weeks holiday then straight into server 2003
