So I started the prep work for this certification, which involved RE-setting up my home network, i.e. wiping my DC installing virtual server 2005 on almost bare iron (didnt quite want to take the time to figure that out) installing a dc and another server and preparing it for being a study tool for the certification.

I have learned so much in this process it amazes me.

My home network is now consists of 3 virtual servers. housed in one physical server 1 freenas box, 3 Desktops, 2 laptops, 1 netbook and an ipod touch.

Wow. that's way to much electronics for three people.

all of this preperation is completed, and I'm just about through the first chapter of the book. I'm now preparing to do a WDS Server install on the third virtual server and progress on to the rest of the book.

I'm excited. :)
