Microsoft 70-291 Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure

This test is going to be the bane of my existence and if I do not pass it this time I swear on all that is unholy it is all Bill Gates fault!

I have taken this damn test 4 times already.... let me repeat that FOUR GOD DAMN TIMES! And each time I get a different score. You would think I have no idea what DHCP and DNS and resource records are. Or that I don't know how to do IP Mathe or what CIDR notation is. I just don't know what to do anymore but keep studying until I feel I know this stuff backwards and forwards.

If I can ever past this test then my plan is for 70-284 next which will finally make me a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator. Following which I am going to concentrate on my CompTIA Security+ exam and certification so I can be ready if the budget ever comes through at work for network security.

Which by the way if I have forgotten to mention I was officially hired full time for a hospital network in northeast Ohio where I am a Service Desk administrator Level II. What does that mean besides better pay and benefits? Basically that I work on a computer help desk and take calls from users who half the time can't remember there password. It gets annoying but I deffinitly know it is a stepping stone to something better with in the organization. So wish me luck as I have the test scheduled in less then two weeks ironically on my birthday. I guess I am hoping for good karma or something.

Alright back to the grind stone... oh and if you ever have any questions about certifications feel free to drop me some comments and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.
