Thank you for the info Andrew!

Below is a list of freely available videos to  help with this exam. Most of them are on the Microsoft Techcenter or Microsoft Edge.

This exam is mainly aimed at Microsoft Partners who will need this as a requirement to deliver Desktop Deployment Planning Services(DDPS). The exam is also great for those who want to show their expertise in MDT 2010 and Windows 7 deployment.

I’ll update the missing links as I find them.

Below is a list of freely available videos to  help with this exam. Most of them are on the Microsoft Techcenter or Microsoft Edge. I’m frequently asked about resources to help with the Windows 7, Configuring exam. For many IT professionals, this is their first starting point at Microsoft Certified Training. I’ve put together this list of video resources to help with each of the modules. My study process is Watch it, Do it, Read about it, (then do it again properly) in that order. This resource will help with the first part but remember that these videos should be accompanied by reading the appropriate articles on Microsoft Technet. I strongly recommend actually doing each of the objectives when training, even if it appears straight forward, at least you can honestly say you have practical experience.
