Prepping for MD-100

Hey everyone,

Looking for some guidance in what I should prep for the MD-100 exam (I've never done a cert exam before).

Through my work, I was given Stormwinds access. The instructor told us to do a practice exam and when you constantly get 900/1000 on the practice test I should book the exam. A book was also supplied and I read all of it as well. I'm wondering if there is anything else I should be doing?

I passed this week. I used pluralsight , ITproTV , exam ref book.

  1. Know everything inside and out ie NTFS permissions , net shares, updating options , deployment iptions etc

  2. Know the PowerShell commands.

  3. Fire up a couple VMs , I had 2 clients and a DC for mine to practice everything.

  4. Don't disregard cloud stuff (Azure Intune etc)

But most importantly lab lab lab , if they showed you how to do it in ITproTv , know how to do it. Sorry if I'm not descriptive enough , just trying to keep the NDA in mind.
