The top areas are Configuring Active Directory Domain Services Infrastructure — 21%, Creating and Maintaining Active Directory Objects — 21%, Configuring Domain Name System for Active Directory — 19%. Budget your study hours to match those weights; the full domain list is in the outline section further up this page.

Training builds the foundation — then measure it with the 216 practice questions for the 72-640 exam from ValidVCE to see how you perform when the clock is running.

The 72-640 exam is Microsoft's official certification test, and passing it earns the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS): Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuration credential at the Technology Specialist / Associate level. In career terms, it is verified proof of skill — the kind that moves you up the shortlist when your company works with Microsoft technologies, or when you apply to one that does. The same track also includes MCITP: Server Administrator, MCITP: Enterprise Administrator, MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration, MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure Configuration, so this exam can anchor a longer certification plan.

You pass the Microsoft TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuring exam at 700 / 1000, and each attempt costs Approx. $125 USD (historical, varies by region) — fail, and that fee is due again in full for the retake. Treat mock exams as insurance: keep practicing with ValidVCE until your scores sit comfortably above 700 / 1000 twice in a row, then schedule the real 72-640 exam.
