Windows Server 2008 Upgrade Exam

Windows Server 2008 I just sat on the 71-649 exam, Transitioning your MCSE on Windows ServerŪ 2003 to Windows Longhorn Server Technology Specialist, at the VUE test center at Teched 2007. While I cannot comment on any specific question, I can comment on the areas of focus for studying for this exam (right, Trika?). If you will be taking this exam in the near future, learn about the details in these areas:

  • Terminal Services - the different roles, the new features, etc

  • IIS 7 - the new command line tools, new features, etc

  • Server Core - ofcourse, know your way with all the cmdline tooling that you can use

  • Virtualization - be sure to study on how Virtual Server 2005 works

  • Active Directory - the new features, but also AD in general


  • Other then that, just know your Windows Server 2008 stuff. Download beta 3 and have a go yourself with the installation and configuration. The new Server Manager is fantastisc and nothing beats some first hand experience on the product. In 8 tot 12 weeks time we will be getting the scores. Good luck to whoever is taking a shot also!


    Yes, sir.
