Study Guide Questions
So if you are interested in studying for the exam here are a few questions and resources to get you started I will continue to post these periodically but am not going to provide answers unless someone actually responds to the posts with a question or answer. I would like for this to be interactive. I did however give the answers to Simon for the quiz you can take online but that only reinforces the answer not the why so check out the links and documentation these are right from theVMware pubs. If you come up with better questions or answers please post them in here.
Thanks to Simon Long for creating the links to all of the references this made it considerably easier to get started.
