MCITP: Enterprise Admin - anyone have this?

OCdude · 16 May 2010 at 18:23

I'm thinking of studying the Enterprise Admin cert, consisting of:

70-640: TS: Configuring Windows Server 2008 Active Directory
70-642: TS: Configuring Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure
70-643: TS: Configuring Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure
70-647: Pro: Enterprise Administrator: Windows Server 2008
70-680: TS: Configuring Windows 7

Just wondering if anyone here has done the same and if do, would you recommend a particular (logical) order to study them in?

Thanks!

Hmm well I have "users" experience of Windows 7 - nothing in-depth though - pretty much the same experience I have with Server 2008/AD.

I wonder if the course numbers tallying up with the order in which to study them, is a coincidence

(I'm thinking yes!)

I completed my MCITP:EA on friday.
The order I did the exams was: 70-680, 70-640, 70-643, 70-647.

Once you have comepleted the first 4, the 7-647 is just recap/design, so should be fairly straightforward.

I take it you also did the 70-642 exam?

Sorry, I took 70-642 after 083-640 (you can't take 70-640 in the UK anymore!). It's the same but has some simulation labs.

Ah right yeah, just Googled it. Cool stuff (although people experiencing severe lag and crashes mid-exam.... is a bit scary lol)

you may do stuff in real-life which isn't the official Microsoft way of doing things (i.e. on Server 2008 I do stuff like start / run / dsa.msc where as MS may say you go to Start then Administrative Tools - poor example but you get the idea).

M.

I think as long as you get the task done (and don't blatantly bodge it) I don't think you get marked on that sort of thing really.

OCDude Just noticed your last post here before now was 17th May, so how you getting on with the exams?

I'm only doing self-study, so I'm still studying towards the first module (Active Directory). Haven't got out of my depth yet

Belated congrats

I'm going to book the 70-640 exam soon i think!

Has anyone taken then 70-643 exam (application infrastructure) - just wondering if it includes Server 2008 R2 related questions (as my material doesn't include it!)

Cheers Bud

70-642 was 70 questions, 30 beta which didn't count towards the final score but you have no idea which ones are which

I'm pretty sure all the exams are based on Server 2008 not R2 release. None of my study material are based on R2 and 70-640 and 70-642 have nothing specfic on R2 the questions I had anyway.

Good luck

Questions that don't count towards your final score.... lol odd :eek:

Another question! Did you get many AD FS or AD Certiificate Services in the 640 exam?

In all the test exams i've done, they seem to focus on that quite a lot :/

A lot of IT exams are like this, all the ones I've done bar an ITIL one have beta questions in that don't count towards the final mark.

I don't think my CCNA + CCNP exams had beta questions in... unless I just wasn't told lol

That's what I had to do after failing first time round its hard because I never touch them at my current job. If your getting around say 90% on the measure up exam questions you should be alright as they are generally harder I think

hmm. It's annoying because the material i've been using, only really covers CA stuff at the end, as a brief introduction. Then basically goes: yeaaah, you might wanna read up more about this before the exam!

Great! lol
