70-653: MCTS, SBS 2008, Configuring.

[kaylark]

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has had a go at this or the EBS exam yet?

MS sent me a voucher to sit the exam for free just now and I have booked it in.

Does anyone know of any decent text books to prepare for this? MS do not have one.

There is a SBS 2008 Administators companion, but not sure if it would cover what is required.

I have been in the 2003 SBS Classroom training a few years back so I have a lot of the Business requirements stuff covered and have been using SBS 03 for a number of years.

Any recommendations on prep materials?

thanks

The best I can do is give you the link to the preparation site by MS.
There is a "skills measured" button.

No clues on books.

I have decided to go with the SBS 2008 Unleashed book.
Colleage at work was using it the other day and it looked pretty good.
I found a bunch of stuff on Technet so will combine the two and the general hands on stuff also....
