| Yeah.. Anyone who has taken this exam.. speak up and say something about what to look out for... I am studying all kinds of things that are related to Microsoft security.. but that topic is so BROAD it is hard to know what to drill down on specifically... I am all ears. | |

| What books are available from MS on this test and when will it be a ready or is it ready to take. | |

| I don't have any info on text books available. I prepared by:
a) Exam description from Microsoft Website.
b) Applicable course descriptions as indicated in the Exam description.
c) Step-by-step and How-to's from the Microsoft Website as indicated in the course descriptions.
d) going over 216 security protocols, certificate services and remote access topics, 217 security groups and group policy. Unfortunately, my texts for those were Examcram books, but I supplemented with a lot of web research, including rfc's that apply to security, such as 'Site Security' guide and iana port and protocol numbers.
I have some killer 802.11 wireless security notes that are applicable.
I have to say that I ran out of time to finish my cousre of study, but I thoroughly enjoyed the information and plan to do a lot more work in this arena. Especially in my lab.
I hope that I passed the beta and I hope I set the bar up high enough for the rest of you! | |

| I saw that on there a while ago... It would be nice if there was some kind of book for the "here" and the "now".. during this beta testing period. | |

| It will be publish Feb 2003. Exam is launch this December.
Pretty savvy of Microsoft just like when the 218 exam was launched | |

| Well.. OUCH!
For starters.. this exam is not as hard as I had once thought it as going to be. I had been thinking to myself this whole time that this exam was going to be like nothing I had ever seen before. In some ways it was different.. but NOTHING obscure as most had described. It was long... and the time was a very intimidating factor... I finished the test with 3:23 on the clock.. that was the closest I have ever been to not finishing a Microsoft Exam.
I have to say as well that you had better know your CERTIFICATES.. for this exam.. I swear about 40% of the questions I got my exam related to certificates. A lot of IPSEC, and GPO placement... and Event viewer, DMZ configuration, and IIS questions here and there. HFNETCHK... Qchain... QFECHECK... Service Pack Deployment... MBSA... UrlScan... Rather beefy exam.
If you are already Windows 2000 MCSE.. there is just about no reason to *FEAR* this exam. If you are confident that you know your stuff on the subjects that I just mentioned.. you should feel right at home. This is a good test.. Right up there with Infrastructure in the realm of complexity because of the many different things they throw at you in the same exam.
P.S. Hope me and everyone else passed  | |

| Hey Smookey13,
You said that you hope you and other passed! How do we get to know the results?
Listen to this guys: The last day to register for the exam was Oct 17th, right? Ok. MS send me the invitation on the 18th! After a reply e-mail that I sent to them, like "Gee, thanks MS, that was very helpful", they write back to me last Tuesday saying that I could take until Friday! Isn't that something?! Well, to summarize, I had to brush the Design book (a 40-hour class) in 2 days so that I could take it.
Anyways.....wish me luck! | |
| Smokeey13 2002-10-25, 4:25 pm |
| Well..
Since it was a Beta Exam.. you will not know wether you passed or failed until 8 weeks down the road.
I had only known that they extended the test dates by calling the testing center and they told me that they are accepting dates till the 24th and not just the 17th.
Good Luck... Hope you pass. |
