 Fialed 216
All...
I took 216 today and fialed. Oh well, at least I know I'm human! This was by far much harder than 210, 215 or 218. I passed those on the first try. To all of you who might be braving this exam next, make sure you know RRAS, WINS, DHCP, and Certificates cold! I should have studied harder. Can be so hard when you don't work in IT! Time to buckle down, and go back in for another helping of pain!!!

"Rome isn't built in a day ". Get back at those topics you find 'flaky', practice & read more , it's a passable Exam .
If possible, get at least 2 computers & a hub, and do the hands-on on the 'networking must-know features'. Yes, it might take some investment and time, but you'll find the reward at the end- more confidence at your work and in the exam.
MS Technet is a great supplement for success.
You 'll get network diagrams that provides visuals which make more sense, that just all plain text reading.

I missed this one my first try as well. In a way it's better that you get to know this stuff better, even though it's not fun to fail. Take the opportunity to get in depth. Best of luck!

The same for me... do you remember?. I fail the 1rst attempt... after that i study hard hard hard and pass without any problem. ANd not only that, THANKS to the KNOWLEDGE gained with this exam, now i LOVE network designs and network COnsulting. After finishing my MCSE y go for N+ and Cisco exams.
This exam is hard, no doubt... i know 7 different people who fail this exam on the last month....

Microsoft Sure Make a lot of Money out of this one 
For me, I took the '216' after the '217' & the '219'. Even have to do some reading on the '222-migration to Win2000 from NT Server 4 Exam'.
Forked out money to get a Epson Printer to print out infomations from MS Technet. Used up 12 ink cartridges, costing about US120, might not have been a good option instead of getting a Laser printer, which costs US200 or so
And I guess it help in some ways, especially they 'cemented' the concept of DNS, which is one of 'hot' questions 'grilled',in the 216.
Sort of like , solving the rest of the chips to the 'Grand Puzzle', and leaving the last chip for the '216'. Indeed , it has help to get the good picture of the most of the 'components' that make up the MS system.
This is not an easy 'Walk-over' & done thing

How much time do you spend on your lab?
I had a 2-machine network for testing some of the concepts, but most of the prep I did was theoretical. I read one study guide cover-to-cover, and drilled like hell with Transcenders, using the Win2K Resource Kit to fill in any gaps.
Using this technique, I passed on the first try.
