Well, I purchased all the MS blue books to study from. I don't think they help much for passing the test. I typically do transcender, and then when I hit something I don't full understand on a questions, I hit the web to research it, and use M$ virtual labs to try it out in a "live"...

I've passed 291, and I am working on 284 - which I hope to pass next week. 293 is next on my list. For those who have taken 291 and 293 - since they both cover "similar" topics, which was harder? And of course, any and all advice for test prep is appreciated! Thanks, Dan

I'm gearing up for 284. I'm about an inch and half into Microsofts 284 book. Has anyone taken this RECENTLY and can they give me any study hints? Thanks, Dan

In preparation fro 70-270 I was going through a batch of questions and answers. One of them said something to the effect, you are going to install a batch of XP computers. All computers have the same HAL, but different disk controllers. Then you are given a choice of RIS or SYSPREP. The...

I get the whole answer file/UDF database and how they work together. What I do not understand, is the mechanics used so that an un-attended install just doesn't keep using the first computer name over and over. I've got both the exam cram and the Big Blue book - but neither address this topic...

Thanks Roary, I can't remember what SIMS I had, overall you should do well on 290. My way of studying so far has been, reading over examcram2 - make important mental notes in a spiral tablet - while marking up the book itself - then make sure I can answer the sample questions (that's pass...

Has anyone tried both of these and tried the test? It looks like Transcenders carry a 70 dollar premimum, vs the TestKing tests. Thanks, Dan FWIW - I agree with most of the comments I've seen, I took 70-290 and passed first try with a 900. I then took 70-291 - first time I got a 654, the next...

I have an old Exchange 5.5 server that shows up in systems manager. This machine has not existed for a long time - since before I started at the company. I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of it with no luck, I'm just about ready to pull out the white out and do it manually on...

I'm preparing to install sp2. I also am creating a roll back plan. Is it possible to uninstall sp2 if there is a problem? Thanks, Dan

Hi, I have the following configuration: 1130AG (Wireless Access Point)>>Catalyst 3750 (Switch)>>Pix 515E. All equipment is currently configured and working. I am looking for guidance and IOS commands to create a third vlan on the 3750 and route traffic from the port of...

Has anyone found a version of knoppix that will boot on an AIX box? I found one older disto for ppc, but my 7043's wouldn't even start booting from the iso. Thanks, Dan

I ran an upgrade from 51-02 to 51-06. I have noticed TOPAS is missing. I went to reinstall it and I keep getting the following error message: Verifying requisites..0503-240 installp: Error. rsct.compat.basic.rte 2.2.1.32 is a prerequisite of itself. Verifying requisites..0503-207 installp...

Thanks, but the error message about DT Messaging was sending me down the wrong path. I beat on the problem from the statd -a angle. What I found was in smit I was entering information for a static tcp/ip setup (ip, netmask, gateway) - somehow dhcpcd was running. It looks like these were...

I had a working install. To my knowledge nothing changed. I rebooted the server this morning and received a message DT Messaging system could not start. It keeps pointing me to resolv.conf and hosts. Checked all of them out and played with them and have not been able to resolve the problem...

I installed a Fantom external disk to my H50, running AIX 5.1. I get an error on boot (enclosed errpt), but after that, I don't seem to get any errors and it read/writes fine.... Should I be concerned? Is there anything I should do to fix the error? Note: Before installing the drive, I did the...
