70-410 - IPv6, DNS, and Azure

If you have some fear from the IPv6 topic, don't panic, you are not alone there, we all hate it, if you want to just pass, it's easy, the exam does not cover it deeply, you just need to know the address types, and address scopes, and I think the ISATAP tunneling mechanism, but you need more as a system administrator, take a look at this website:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ipv6/
Explore the tabs on the left for more info, take a look over here and there for stuff you don't understand about the IPv6

DNS?
It's more than converting URLs to IPs :), the topic is well covered in the exam (and more deeply in 70-411), so you need to well understand it,



I watched this series from the same YouTube channel mentioned earlier

Read more about DNS, a lot of videos are there on YouTube for it ("Eli the computer guy" channel has a good video about DNS), you will get what you need there.

Microsoft Azure:


Regarding Microsoft Azure, it should be part of the exam, though, I did not have any question about it, neither the training exams, not any single questions about Azure, there is a great video on channel9 about it:

The rest of the topics are more common, you need to apply them on your test servers, like GPOs, permissions (share & NTFS), local storage, Hyper-V, DHCP, and the most important topic: Active Directory.
