Hi Guys,

I am an exchange admin with 6 years of Exp and would like to prepare for the following certification to expand my knowledge

MCITP: Enterprise Administrator on Windows Server 2008

and

Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP): Enterprise Messaging Administrator

I am very comfortable with Exchange technologies like but have a very basic knowledge of AD and netwroking. So please let me know what books I should refer for good knowledge and passing the exams.

I checked many books on Amazon but they all have mixed reviews which is confusing me.

Thank you all in anticipation.

No book is going to be perfect. Start with the MS Press books as these are the "official" study guides. Most come with CD's/DVD's that include practice tests. Alternatively, look at CBT training from CBT Nuggets, Trainsignal or TestOut.

I used the MS publishing books for the MCITP: EA. Make sure to get the 2nd edition books as well since the exams have been updated for R2. If you purchase the bundle you'll get a 120 trial of Server 2008.

I'm also using Sybex text for supplemental stuff. Although I prefer the MS publishing over the Sybex, the text is easier to follow IMO.

Just ordered MS Press the entire bundle

and for exchange bought Exchange inside out and Exchange best practices.

Nuggets and Trainsignal looks expensive, maybe later I might think of it. I guess after few lab exercises I will know.

Thanks for all the inputs guys and wish me luck !
