Ok, I've been studying for the 70-431 exam which I plan to take this summer with the SQL Server 2005: Implementation and Maintanence book.
I have been using the cd practice exam and noticed 2 mistakes on it today.
1) Database mirroring: "The endpoints do not need to be started because this is the default state." If I look this up on MSDN it clearly states that the default state for DATABASE_MIRRORING endpoints have a default state of STOPPED.
2) Log Shipping: Which editions of SQL Server can be the moniter server in a Log Shipping Configuration? The answers it gives are Enterprise and Workgroup. However Standard is also a choice but it does not list this as an answer and you get the question wrong if you include Standard as an answer. I'm pretty sure a Moniter server for Log Shipping can be any edition except Express.
Anyway, I'm pretty disappointed that these blatant errors are on this CD. Does anyone have a comment on this? Also, maybe we can list all the errors we have found on the CD to help people from being misled here.
I know there is erratta on the book and have gone through and made all the corrections, but I have not seen anything pointing out these mistakes on the CD.
