Thanks for your advice. I have decided to take MCSE cert exam70-290.
What are the best books that will cover all the objectives for exam 70-290?

I was expecting a reply from some one here, but too unfortunate as I never got one. I did some google search and came across MS press books. I had selected Dan Holme book as the basic book for my MCSE cert exam 70-290.
I am just following that book as the basic book.

When are your exam? Did you pass that exam?

Should have went Cisco.

Wish you luck for yr exams !!!!!!!!!!!!

:hula: Thanks! I have cleared my MCSE cert exam 70-290. I had scored 870 and had I gone for some more questions I could have easily cleared.One I had just missed for my careless attitude. Oops I should have been more attentive.

:drive: So you have cleared one hurdel. Congrats!

Congrats on yr MCP status. Plz guide us on how to plan for this exam. Which books and refernece materials were you following for this exam? Your help will be much appreciated.

I was mostly dependent on MS press books as well as had Syngress book. Had exhaustive study but some times I felt the urgent need of some practice questions. I did some google search. From their I got a number of good links but I used cramsession study stuff and for simulations had ucertify. This was much helpful. Now I am planning to take 291.
