70-219 Questions

Hi, I've read numerous posts about 219, but my question(s) are- where
can you find the information relative to the test outline provided by
microsoft? This as in- besides for purchase from microsoft test
preparation materials. Exam Cram's I have and won't cut it, it doesn't
cover the core subject matter and it's the subject matter I'm trying to
find but can't. In example- I have 214, 216, 217, 218, and 219 -or-
220, or 221 to take and I'm about ready to do it.


Thing is- with all the tests mentioned besides 219, 220, and 221, all
the 'prep' information is right there in the server help doc's, white
sheets, on technet, explaining the technology -how it works, what it
can do, etc. One only has to become good on covering information, for
instance- after seeing many posts about 216 and how hard that is, I see
why, but now I'm not worried about 216 at all. I've now covered every
aspect of whats on 216 defined by the test outline from ms by default
from available info.


But it's the 219 I don't get. Analyze 'existing and planned'
business models? What business models? Analyze Company Processes?
What company processes? Analyze factors that influence company
strategies? What strategies? Etc,etc. In googling '70-219', I turned
up some pages that spoke of data warehousing, data mining, and activex
objects use and more in their outlines. Where is the material
available that covers this information- only in microsoft test prep
kits and bundles? Is the design test's something completely different
in this aspect from the technical tests? 219 has technical AD stuff
outlined, that's not the problem, how did 'you' other self study folks
deal with this?


Thanks.

Try MS Press or Sybex. I personally prefer MS Press. You probably won't
find all "free" information on how to prepare for this exam, although
there are many KB articles and technet papers that will help immensely.
It's best to take the design exams last so you get a good grounding in
the technology -- you will need a thorough understanding of the OS and
all its services to design a solution based on Windows 2000. The design
exams present case studies (long case studies with lots of details so be
good at reading and taking notes) and then a series of 10 - 15 questions
that examine your understanding of how to design a solution that will
meet the requirements stated in the case study. So you will need a
thorough understanding of MS approved methodologies for design.

Cat- Thanks for the reply, was pretty much what I was looking for.
Agree'd- 219 or if I elect one of the others for design will be last.
-thnx.
