| I've just booked the exam. (I've been putting off for a little while due to
it's reputation.)
Hope I pass as I am keen to get started on some new material.
I feel that the exam may be hard as it is difficult to gain practical
experience for a lot of the course work. E.g with a test lab of two PC's -
how much practical experience can you get with routing protocols? I also
feel that a lot of this information will be irrelevant in the "Real" world.
For example, is a big company really going to use a windows 2000 server
computer as a network router using OSPF? I think most companys would opt
for a dedicated hardware solution.
I've passed 70-210 and 70-215. Does anyone have any tips on 70-216? Is it
really as bad as people make it out to be?

| I honestly dont know why people think this exam is 'the beast'.Its just not
as hard as people say it is in my opinion.
If you know your stuff with the big four DHCP,DNS,RRAS and WINS you will be
ok.

| I did this one ages ago - it was pretty easy. you should only need to know
the routing basics, although you will need to be happy with subnetting.
I also did the network infrastructure design exam - that ones quite hard.
Use the transcenders for 70-216, they are very good.

| Hi,
I passed this exam just a week ago, and I subcribe to the statement "the
beast". I agree that you have to know your stuff, but although I knew mine,
I wasn´t sure I passed when I answered the last question. Keywords in my
exam were: DHCP, Wins, RRAS, NAT and some Novell connectivity. Also know
some Unix DNS (bind).
If you do not have a testlab get your hands on VM Ware, so you can test
things within your own pc.
Lots of succes,
Ron
