Just as an FYI to all future examinees,

There is a difference between the "real world" answer and the "best
practices" answer that Microsoft wants you to know for all Microsoft exams.

Microsoft has acknowledged these differences on their exams but in a bad
way. In essence, many of the questions can be boiled down to twp possible
answers, one being the "real world" answer and one being the "best
practices" answer. The "real world" answer is the distractor!!!

In order to pass the exam, you must subscribe to the Microsoft theory
solely. For those of you who are relying on real world experience to pass
the exam, this will help with overall knowledge, but can often trip you up
during the exam.

Make sure when you sit to test, you keep your brain in "Microsoft Mode" for
the duration. Just a word to the wise, and best of luck!

That's a very good bit of advice. For those of you who have to write an
HDA (Help Desk Analyst) certification, the same logic also applies there.
