All, Thought I'd make a post to encourage all who are finding 292 a nightmare. It is passable! I sat 70-292 and 70-296 on the same day and passed 70-296 with a score of 850 but failed 70-292 with 628. I resat 292 the following day and failed with exactly the same score, 628. I couldn't beleive it. I was so sure I had passed as I ended the exam. Something weird going on with the scoring I thought. I studied the relevant Microsoft Press "Upgrading your certification..." sections again and attemped 70-292 again after 2 weeks. Failed with a score of 680. Today I passed with a score of 800. :-) My advice is to know TS and IIS inside out (configuring TS settings with GPOs heavily tested). Know as many command line tools as possible especially tskill, tscon etc. Know the ntbackup.exe switches. Stub zones and conditional forwarding were also heavily tested. Know what rights Backup Operators, Server Operators, Power Users etc. have. Good luck, Graham
