    70-291 and WSUS

    George, somebody in another thread suggested http://www.learntosubnet.com/ and I found it to be very helpful for subnetting. As far DHCP and DNS are concerned, I just used the books and made sure to get to the point where I could fully explain why a mock test answer was right and could...

    70-291 and WSUS

    WSUS is based on SUS and does quite a bit more than the earlier product, but at their core (I think) they are very similar. All of the questions I received pertained to SUS as well as WSUS. I'd imagine that MS will stick to sich questions, as most published study materials still refer to SUS.

    70-291 and WSUS

    Dreadz, I ended up getting all of my questions right on it and my entire knowledge of the subject comes from studying the SUS section of the Sybex 70-290 book. (We use NetChk at work, so I've never really had a need to learn it in detail.) It's not rocket science, but you definitely need to...

    Passing score on 70-290

    Congratulations! I passed 270 yesterday (824) and am gearing up for 284 next. 291 covers a lot of ground, so make sure to take your time in studying for it. I actually found it to be a bit easier than 290, but that's probably just because I was much better prepared for it.

    Passing score on 70-290

    Cstorms, thanks for the info. It's funny, I know 270 is supposed to be the easiest of the core tests, but I so rarely deal with some features (e.g., XP's firewall, ICS, and accessibility features) at work that I'm getting fits trying to memorize settings for things that are never or rarely...

    Passing score on 70-290

    I used the Sybex books and Transcender, but the real problem was that I didn't put in the time to study as much as I should have because of how crazy work was at the time. I took it a couple of months later and passed handily. If you've done server administration for a couple of years you...

    Passing score on 70-290

    It's 70%. Good luck; this was the first one I took as well and I ended up missing it by two questions.

    70-291 and WSUS

    Just a head's up to anyone taking 70-291 anytime soon: I took the test last week and received six questions specifically pertaining to WSUS. These weren't even DNS or routing questions that mentioned WSUS but rather were configuration issues. Just as surprising to me was the dearth of...

    CLI and 70-290

    Thanks, Denny. Back to the books... Sam

    CLI and 70-290

    From test-takers' experiences, what CLI commands should I know and what level of detail should I have? I'm generally familiar with the basic commands (diskpart, tracert, ds*, etc.), but I don't know the options that well as I rarely if ever use most of them. I've taken notes on all of the...

    Requerying a subform control from a form

    That worked perfectly. Thanks, Jay.

    Requerying a subform control from a form

    When I used that I got the error "Method or data member not found." with .Topic highlighted in blue and the Private Sub line in yellow. The subform name is the same as both a form and as an object in the main form. Could that be a problem?

    Requerying a subform control from a form

    I have a subform with a combo box for topics that describe the main form's record. When a topic needs to be added to the list, the user clicks on a button to bring up an "edit list" form. In order to refresh the combo box in the topic subform I've assigned this event for the edit list form's...

    Linking a field as a memo field from Excel

    I have a daily task that requires me to append a number of rows from a spreadsheet into an Access table. I linked the worksheet path and created an append query for it. One of the fields in the spreadsheet routinely includes more than 255 characters, but Access still links it as a text field...

    Anomaly with 5xp and wireless router

    I have a 5xp and use NetScreen 8 to to make VPN connections. I configured one of our users who connects through a cable modem connected to a Lynksys wireless router/firewall (model BEFW11S4 v.2). When I connected the computer to one of the router's ethernet ports I could tunnel into the...
