    Hi Guys.

    I have just passed 70-291 exam today and i have to say it was a beast of an exam thats for sure. So happy to have nailed it. Below is the certs i hold so far. I am looking to do Exam 70-648 as an upgrade from MCSA 2003. From reading the requirements it seems that allot of the exam is 70-640 which i have already done. Is this right? with 70-648 am i going to be doing 70-640 again?

    Can anyone shine some light on this for me


    Cheers


    Craig

    Exam 70-648 is the upgrade exam and basically covers all the material from  the 70-640 and 70-642. You could go ahead and take the 70-648 for which you're already halfway prepared for since you already studied for and passed the 70-640 or you can just take the 70-642.

    Note that there  are differences in the way the upgrade exams are graded. With the upgrade exams you'll get a grade for each section ( 2 grades one for 640 material and one  for 642 material) and your overall grade will be the lower of the 2. If you fail one of the 2 sections then you have failed the exam.

    Hi Wallace,

    You can go here: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-windowsserver.aspx#tab4 to check what upgrade path is best for you.

    70-680 is Windows 7 as Windows Client exam considered for MCITP Enterprise Administrator.  From MCSA you can go to MCITP Serevr Administrator and/ot MCITP Enterprise Administrator.

    One client exam (70-680) and one transition (70-648) and you're done with upgrade. After that you'll have to pass 70-646 to finish off the path (MCITP Enterprise Admin).

    70-291 was the toughest I have had so far so I would completely agree with you;)

    Hi Wallace,

    70-648 is two exams in one with only one result. The parts are: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-648&locale=en-us

    Exam 70-640: TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring
    • Configuring Additional Active Directory Server Roles (11 percent)
    • Maintaining the Active Directory Environment (15 percent)
    • Configuring Active Directory Certificate Services (14 percent)
    Exam 70-642: TS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring
    • Configuring IP Addressing and Services (24 percent)
    • Configuring Network Access (22 percent)
    • Monitoring and Managing a Network Infrastructure (14 percent)

    The passing score is around 750/1000. But this is variable in the sense that the questions have mixed difficulty.

    Focus in the objectives of the exam and be sure to satisfy the Skills measured.

    Good luck,

    Alfredo Arizaleta
