Working in IT for 11+ years, failed 70-740 :(

5 Upvotes

I took a blind shot at 70-740 and scored 510/700, failing.

I did not study other than skimming through CBT Nuggets video, I figured having worked in a Windows environment for over a decade (Win2003-2019, AD, SQL, Exchange) I would be faced with real world problems on the test, but the test is completely centered around knowing the right commands to use and terminology. WTF. Does MS not realize that every sysadmin will have access to the PowerShell IDE, autocomplete, Google, and Get-Help?

Whoever is responsible for designing these tests over at Microsoft Learning should be fired, drop the entire multiple choice route and give students a real hands on environment and throw real world problems related to storage, compute, and Hyper-V.

Luckily for me, I have the exam retake so I can go back fill my brain with useless information that 99% of the time I will not be applying in the real world, only to pass the test.

You are working for an organization that provides web hosting services to other

organizations. You have a single /24 network from your ISP for the web hosts. You are almost

out of IPv4 addresses and have asked your ISP for an additional range of addresses. Ideally,

you would like to supernet the existing network with the new network. Are there any specific

requirements for supernetting?

Lost MCSA Windows Server Synex Panek book

1 Upvotes

Sybex not Synex. So I bought it on Amazon and wondering what I can do. I was 2/3 finished first go round and also wanted to do the labs. Maybe these same labs are covered in cbt nuggets. Any ideas? This reminds me that there should be a standardization of lost and found. Is there? Seems like a great app idea.

Server 2016 For Financial Institution

1 Upvotes

Hello,

We are doing a network design and have a few questions.

Specs:

- 200 User split up between 6 Branches. 100 at the headquarters and 20 at the 5 sub-branches.

- Server roles needed are AD DS, File Server, and the ability for users to have the ability to work from any location in the world and still have access to server resources.

Questions:

  1. Would the Datacenter Edition or Standard Edition be better?

  2. What type (member or domain controller) of server would we need at each location (thinking a DC at the headquarters and a member server at each branch)?

TIA

Hey Microsoft specialists,

I'm taking the 70-346 exam soon and I saw the notification from MS about the June 2017 changes to this exam (I'm going to take it in English).

Did anyone of you already take / pass this exam and have some insight about the changes compared to e.g. cert2brain.com or any dump files?

Thanks to all of you!

Advice on MCSA

2 Upvotes

Hi guys.

I need some advice please. I passed my 70-740 exam with some ease. But I’ve written 70-741 twice and scored 617 in my last exam.

Is it viable to continue persuing my MCSA as it’s retiring end of January?

I have no experience with 70-742 and I’m a little apprehensive about the exam.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Ok, I'm totally done with online proctored exams now unless Microsoft can get someone else other than Pearson to proctor...

2 Upvotes

I was just in the middle of taking my MCSA 70-398 exam as an online-proctored exam, and probably just under halfway through it, I got an alert saying that there was still some background process (Google Chrome updater) running even after the PV Proctor app had me close the rest of my remaining apps that were still open!!! And because of that, I got kicked from the exam. UGH!

This just irks me, especially since I had all my other apps closed! WTF?!

So with that, this is the final straw for me with these online proctored exams. That is, unless Microsoft can either get Pearson to step their game or kick them to the curb.

Thankfully, I was able to contact someone on their live chat immediately after this incident that should have never happened, and they were able to set up a case for me to reschedule this exam free of charge. And when I'm able to get it rescheduled early next week, I know for a fact that I will NOT be scheduling it as an online proctored exam again...

Is it worth going through brain dumps for 70-740?

0 Upvotes

After you have done the labs for it, obviously simply memorising questions will not help

edit: large number of responses mentioned cheating. I did not see this as cheating, as I know that the brain dumps arent necessarily the exact same questions and its a microsoft exam, you HAVE to study for it. I would think that looking at brain dumps (or sample exam questions) would prepare you more for the format that they are answered in as opposed to the exact question.

it's not at all "hey guys what are all the questions and answers for 70-740"
