1. The Cramsession is not enough...
Think of the Cramsession as a roadmap of what to study. Make
sure you take the time to play with the features we've highlighted and read all
of the articles we've linked to. Whatever you do - don't just assume you can
memorize the Cramsession and pass the exam as that's a recipe for disaster. In
short, this exam demands a high level of real-world operational (hands-on)
knowledge of the technologies being tested.
2. Use Microsoft TechNet to the fullest!
Microsoft maintains a wonderful database of resource articles
called TechNET. Visit it frequently and search for new articles on Windows 2000
and XP. This is a completely free resource and there is no excuse for not using
it.

3. Keep an eye on security issues affecting your network.
4. Keep a change log
When "Boldly going where no man has gone before" (i.e., making
configuration changes in an effort to learn what happens), keep a written
history of EXACTLY what you have. It's a lot faster than running a restore
operation of ntbackup.exe. You are backing up your system on a regular basis,
aren't you????
This exam covers more Active Directory and Group Policy then
the objective let on to...ensure that you get the background information you
need by getting the
70-218 Cramsession
as well.
