I want to hop on the train and start working towards my MSCE designation. I've read the Microsoft site and I think these are the exams I need to pass..
70-290, 291, 293, and 294. The study material I was going to buy was the self-paced study kit that includes books for all the exams.
70-270 - The Windows XP exam. I was going to purchase the Exam Cram book because I read the reviews over at amazon and they said the Microsoft Press book is junk.
70-297 - Designing Windows Active Directory. Going for the MS Press book on this one.
70-284 - Exchange Server 2003. Again, going for the MS Press book.
I've seen some reviews on the MS Press books and they all go from one extreme to the other. One person says the books are awesome and the next person says they're total junk. Are the MS Press books good? Or am I better to go with some other book from Exam Cram or Sybex?
Also, I'm wondering if I've chosen the correct electives. It looks like I can choose between exam 70-297 (Designing Windows AD Services) OR 70-298 (Security on Windows 2003) for the design portion. And a bunch of exams for the electives (I chose 70-284, Exchange 2003).
