70-431 (MCTS - SQL 2005)

Hi,

Somebody can speak (tips) about exam 70-431?

Tips?

Amount Questions?

Time ?

....

If you're looking for brain dumps this is not the site to get those answers. The 70-431 exam is a 200-level "how-to" exam on all the nuts and bolts of SQL Server 2005. There are free eLearning classes available on the Microsoft web site which will help you with the content information for the test, as well as a number of excellent books hitting the market about now.

I believe you'll get about 40 questions on the test, though it may be higher than that, and you'll get about 2 1/2 hours to answer them.

Go to www.microsoft.com/sql and click on Learning and you'll find out all you need to know to prepare for the test.

Good luck.

any one can respon

i have two server one is dpmain controller and second is exchange 2003 server i need to setup sql 2005

which one i choice ?

a.m.m.e.

Your question really belongs in a separate/new thread. This thread is about MCTS.

But to answer your question, I would advise against putting it on the domain controller. The domain controller contains the Active Directory and security is extremely important. Adding any other role such as SQL Server would complicate security configuration for it.

Actually, if possible, I would set up a new dedicated SQL Server - not add it to the Exchange Server 2003. Mixing multiple roles on one server always complicates security. But if you cannot set up a new dedicated server I would add it to the Exchange Server 2003.

Other more experienced people may have different ideas.

Hello everyone,

I would like to let you all know and be aware of the fact that microsoft has changed its exam pattern for

070-431 be very carefull as microsoft has changed the exam pattern and due to which i failed the exam today.

Its now based on simulations questions which comes after the multiple choice questions i got 15 simulations

separately apart from 35 multi choice questions along with exibits. I wasnt aware of this fact and it wasnt

mentioned ánywhere about simulations questions I think no one knows about it I am the first to face this type of

exam.. The exams comes up with 2 sections the first sections was questions that was 35 in 1hr and the next

was simulations that was 15 2hr 15mins so in total it was 195min exam and I got all correct in first section

and the second section was gred out 60% I got 560 out of 700 may not be difficult but very new.

If in case you have come across with any good site with simulations of this exam please forward me to

a_afroze@.yahoo.com

All the best to all of you

Thanks for the information. I'm going to be taking the test soon and was afraid they would do something like this. They did this to me on the 70-228... completely changed the content and format from what my rather expensive test prep materials were based on.

Could you give us a clue as to what the simulations focused on? (ie. TSQL, SSMS, etc.) I can do just about everything you need to do in SSMS and other GUI tools, but I don't have all the full syntaxes for the TSQL methods memorized (ie. create HTTP endpoint for SOAP vs. TCP endpoint for mirroring).

Well, this really isn't a database documentation request, and using a questions-only site really isn't the best way to go. There are reputable firms, such as Transcender, that will help you with testing and so on. The point is that you should try and learn the trade, rather than just memorizing questions. I've posted an article that deals with certifications:

http://www.informit.com/guides/content.asp?g=sqlserver&seqNum=131

And another here dealing with being a DBA. I think you may find those more useful than looking up test questions on a site.

http://www.informit.com/guides/content.asp?g=sqlserver&seqNum=247

These are just my thoughts - I do wish you luck in your studies!

Many thanks, Abdul, for that "heads up".

If you or anyone else here come to know of any test exams based on this new pattern I am sure we all would be eager to know about them as soon as possible.

Regards
