I failed the 70-290 exam last Wednesday and was really
bummed about it. I was supremely confident on this exam,
not like the 70-270 exam which I was a nervous wreck, but
passed quite easily.

After getting home frustrated and depressed I looked around
on the net, particulary Microsoft and started to feel a
little better about myself after reading all the posts
relating to failed 70-290 exams on here.

I have been using the MOC for this exam and to my disgust
there is no mention of Therminal Services or IIS in the
book, yet the exam had at least 8 questions relating to
both these topics (that represents 200 points out of 1000).
I guess I was a little nieve thinking the Microsoft
curriculum would have everything I needed and I wouldn't
need to do any more than that and some practise tests.

Ayway, I was hoping someone would have a similar situation
and could help me out with some resources on TS and IIS. I
have spent half the day on Technet and MSDN but there is no
simple "read this to know everything" section

Cheers and sympath to the people in the same lonely
position as me.

Tippy.

Can I ask you a question? How did you study? Did you take notes? Flash
cards? etc??

Although you have my sympathy, I'm thinking you didn't bother reading the
Skills Being Measured matrix for 70-290 on the MS web site. It clearly
includes TS and IIS, and even stresses supplementary material is required
for these two subjects - in other words, they aren't included in the
official Microsoft curriculum.
