Hi there,

Today I took the Windows 7 beta exam TS: Windows 7, Configuring and had to let you know my findings.

I have more then a year experience working with Windows 7 as my employer is a TAP participant in the Windows 7 TAP, currently we have more then 300 Windows 7 machines deployed in our environment. So I tought ‘why not try the exam’

The exam lenght is 180 minutes, but I only needed 45 minutes for the 75 questions. This is not cause of the exam, but somehow I allways manages to do an exam within the hour.

I wont give you any questions and/or answers cause the exam is under NDA, but I can give you the subjects that I’ve got in my exam.

The Windows 7 exam is a real ‘new technolgy’ exam, maybe there are 5 questions that I could ansfer from my experience with XP and Vista the other question are all about new technology. If you need to take this exam or if you are planning for 070-680 (the number after this exam goes live) be prepared to answer questions on the following technology :

* BranchCache
* Direct Access
* IPv6 (only a couple of questions)
* Imaging
* USMT
* System Restore
* Windows Update (couple of questions)

Also know how to make a bootable USB Windows 7 installation stick and try to study on how Windows 7 works in a HomeGroup (not all questions are Enterprise related but also home-use related)

The exam is currently in beta so no score report, after 8 weeks I will know if I passed or failed the exam.

If you take this exam, ‘Good Luck’

Regards,

Erik
