Nothing really to difficult. Used CBT Nuggets and covered it more than enough. Just know when to set certain things up and how to migrate to Exchange 03.
Easier than I thought too

Very little on Notes/groupwise as I had prepared for.
Reading is fundamental. Be sure to rule out answers instead of picking quickly

But I must admit that I have a lot of experience with Exchange (5.5 - 2000 - 2003), including many migration (AD, ISA, SQL, Exchange, etc. Including design & architecture). But still, a fair exam for someone who knows & works with this product.
