Failed 70-216

I passed my CCNA, 2K Workstation & Server on my first attempt but when I got
to the 70-216 I was blind sided by some of the questions. Is this exam the
hardest of the MCSE 2000?

Hey Scotty,

Sorry to hear you failed, I took my 70-216 today and just managed to pass
with a score of 700 (see 3 posts below)

I found this the hardest so far, 210, 214, 215 and 218 were a breeze
compared to 216. However I have 217 and 221 coming up, and I'm expecting 221
(design exam) to be the hardest of the lot. I hear you get a case study and
you have to design a specification to a set of requirements.

What questions did you get? Maybe simular to mine, lots of multicasting at
the start?

I can only suggest reading lots of study guides and writting out what you
read, its the only way to get it to stick in your mind. Of course the BEST
way to revise is to have a live system to setup, configure, troubleshoot &
fix. Of course this isn't always possible, i.e. where I work we have no need
for multicasting, so I've not had chance to play with it!
For study guides I'd recommend sybex or cram exam, I used mike myers but a
lot of 70-216 wasn't covered in it!

Thanks for the reply. Before the test I had studied the Sybex. It seems
that some of the test questions were not even covered in the book. I.E. BIND
& Round Robin. BTW what is Round Robin. Anyway I now have the Cram Test and
I will probably try it again next week.

Try the MS Press book. Also, read the relevant material in the Windows
2000 Server Resource Kit, available online at:

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...00/server/resk
it/en-us/default.asp

or

And Ben is right, you really need to have a couple of computers to play
with. BTW: Round robin is a DNS feature that allows you to setup
servers with the same name and different IP addresses and load balance
web servers or RRAS servers.

I passed this exam about 3 weeks ago with a good score (909) but I
studied from three books (MS Press, Global Knowledge Certified Press, and
the for Dummies book), read resource kit articles, kb articles, subnetted
until I could do it in my sleep, and practiced/simulated as much as I
could with two servers. This is not an exam you can just cram for (it is
affectionately known as "The Beast"), you have to really know to do well.
Good luck.

i don't think it's the hardest - but it's "harder" than some others. if you
know which area's you lack in - you might want to brush up on them.
especially stuff thats on the exam but you don't use. could be WINS e.t.c..



better luck next time.

What do I need to know about multicasting? I really don't understand what
it's used for.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using multicasting? How do you
implement multicasting?

Thanks. Could you give me some insights to multicasting? How it works,
implementation, etc?
