I had looked at the exam outline, but it was a while ago...I used an Exam
Cram book, and Mission Critical Windows 2000 Server Administration to
prepare. I also used a Transcender test. The Transcender test was supposed
to be for 70-217, but looking at it now from a different perspective, it is
more geared to the 219 test.
Thanks for the encouragement. As I work in the Banking industry, I'm
planning on focusing on security, so I'm planning on taking 220, 214, and
Security+ to round things out. By the time I'm finished (hopefully by the
end of June), I'll be MCSA, MCSE:Security, Security+. A lot of work between
now and then, but well worth it.
