Hello,

I am studying for the 70-221 exam. I am finding it very hard to study for.
I have a WIN2K server and WIN-XP desktop at home. However, much of the
stuff is geared toward multi-server network environments so I can't do any
"hands-on" practice. I am leaning towards purchasing a new server and new
desktop so I can practice DNS, VPN and other things.

Has anyone come up with any good ideas on getting the "hands-on" study other
than purchasing new computers? Does anyone know of any SIGs in the Detroit,
MI area? I have not been too successful at finding any.

Thanks,
Rich

VMware

VMware or dual boot your XP box with XP and Server.

If you find your computer having insufficient memory to run vmware, add more
RAM to it. Typically you need a minimum like 512MB to emulate 2 machines
with bare minimum memory configured to these 2 emulate machines. I have 1GB
Ram and able to emulate like 6-7 bare memory VMWare machines.
