Booooooooson... not Bison. Boson.

No worries... I used to write for Transcender before Self Test Software purchased them, and... let's just say that the new ownership decided to take their company in a direction I wasn't willing to follow. I quit and became a senior network admin. A bunch of my old co-workers from the original Transcender got together and bought Boson, so I became a senior content developer there.

just sat the exam and got a 641 - needed a 700

Gutted as i was pretty close

It was 41 questions and there was a fair bit of server 2003 and SBS wizard related questions

Any advice for my resit?

Will probably buy the one and only book on this exam and do some more studying - to be honest i was expecting to fail miserably, given the lack of revision, so i can take that as a positive!

You're not far away from a passing score... study the questions that you know you had a problem with and give it another go!

I at that exam last year and was very hard.The hardest part is to think in the Microsoft's way. expecially
if you have a lot of hand on experience.
Stuff like upgrade form win 3.1 to xp-pro or setup a sbs server just for one client that need to send a fax does not happens int the real life.
I scored 770 and i was expecting to fail. Was a so bad experience that i still have a nightmare about it .
I scored 1000 in the 70-294 this week and i was happy, but not so happy as when i saw " you score is 770" that time.
I would recommend the Harry Balford's book.

Good luck

The consultancy questions in the exams are the most difficult ones. I would suggest that you also know the server management console inside out as in general most SBS admins don’t use it but there are some handy wizards in there that can make life easier.

I used this book for the exam...

Me: You need to buy a couple of servers.
Customer: Whats wrong with the servers I have?
Me: Well, you dont have *any* servers just now.
Customer: WTF! I thought I did!
