Hello CertForums
I joined a couple of weeks ago and have been lurking in the MS Server exams forum ever since summoning up the courage to post.

I'm looking to get my MCSA on W2K3 and then probably complete the additional exams to get to MCSE. I've got an MCSE on NT4 and W2K but have rather let my certifications lapse over the last few years. I finally decided to get off my butt and have got 70-290 scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Back from the test centre...

Passed with 928 so I'm chuffed as it was my first MS Exam since 2001 having rather let my certications lapse. I now need 70-291 to get my MCSA but at least there's some material on the 291 exam that I haven't dealt with (server clustering etc.) so hopefully the revision will be more interesting.
