The prep guide for this exam is available at this link, if you haven't
already had a chance to review it:
http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/e...217.asp#SKILLS. My thinking
tends to agree with yours in that memorizing things probably won't help a
whole lot. You need to understand group policy well enough to trouble shoot
it, based on the prep guide. I think that comes more with practice than
with memorization, at least I know that's true for me. Perhaps your manager
or peers at the office can help you prepare by sharing some of the issues
they've faced around group policy, and let you describe to them how you'd go
about fixing them. Just a suggestion - hope this is helpful and good luck!
