Well, after not doing an exam since I did my Network+ last July I decided that it was about time that I did another.
With work willing to pay for CompTIA exams I decided last week to give the Server+ a shot.
This exam was harder than I was expecting, but the important thing is that I passed!
I used the Exam Cram Server+ book and the measureup CD that came with it and scored in the 90's on the three tests that it came with. The real thing was much harder than the book or CD.
If you're considering this one make sure that you know your server hardware, especially SCSI. Additionally I suggest that you know SNMP.
Putting a computer in front of a child and expecting it to teach him is like putting a book under his pillow, only more expensive.

Anyway, I had thought about this a couple of years ago and bought the Bigelow book, but one look at its contents and I was not sure whether it was of any benefit.
Can you expand on it a little. I know the A+, N+ and Security+ are the main ones that employers look for and that they give you the knowledge to do you r job, but is Server+ any good in that respect? I mean if you are working with Servers for a number of years and have one at home (like me with a DL580 - horrendously noisy), would you really need this cert?
My DL 580 is a noisy beast with 4 x Xeon processors, 2GB RAM and 4 x SCSI discs that I configured as RAID 5 runn ing SBS.

The way I would look at Server+ is that it's A+ on steroids. You know that you usually start on desktops and desktop support, this is what the A+ prepares you for, like the next step in your career from desktops to servers the Server+ moves things on.
Basically it just proves that you know about servers and how they work.
