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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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

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...

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

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...

That worked perfectly. Thanks, Jay.

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?

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...

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...

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...
