From now, that's a little less than 8 weeks study time for each exam. That sounds like the worst thing I've ever heard. That said, I HIGHLY suggest 640 first. I, amongst others, think it was the worst of the MCITP:EA tests and covers the biggest range of new concepts if you don't have a lot of server admin experience.

Tab8715 posted:Isn't this backwards? I started reading the 640 but I think I need to know how to configure a server before messing with AD. There really is no catch-all 'configure a server' test that would help before AD would. The stuff covered in 640 includes most of what you'd need to know. There are some enterprise network server design exams I think, but not that apply to an MCITP:EA and you're already pressed for time.

QuarkJets posted:I've read through the first 50 pages or so of the CompTIA Security+ guide, and they very strongly emphasize that you need to have a Network+ cert before bothering with Security+. I'm skeptical, since of course the guys who administer the tests and write the books want you to pay for and take as many certification tests as possible. If I do exactly as the OP says, read the book a few times and copy the port chart from memory, will I be screwed by my lack of Network+ chops or am I probably okay? Except for some general terminology, and like, some port numbers, there is very little in N+ that you'd need for S+

MJP posted:I just took the 2012 exam. The MS book is the only one out there for the 70-417 now, but it's actually readable and logical. It's as good as the Sybex books I used for 2k3 and ten times better than the 70-648 book to upgrade. I'm sitting for the 70-417 tomorrow and that seems to be what I've heard. Hyper-V doesn't really worry me at all, but I've got a separate machine here at home I've been playing on it with. Only thing I haven't played with is Clustering and Hyper-V Replicator since I only have the one box, but eh, I'm not worried. The MS Press book I think did a pretty good job, although I hate that none of the books have exercises to do at the end of the chapters anymore.
