MCP Tests Off MCDBA CD Have Script Errors!

I decided to become MCDBA certified and bought a book (70-228) that
will help me study for the first test. I pop in one of the CD's it
came with and install the test questions. When I launch the program I
get this: http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/7...pterror2zm.jpg
Okay, I click yes, and it loads the program. I then click start test
and I get another one of those messages. I click ok and then I get a
blank screen. I figure maybe it has something to do with the fact that
I have Firefox as my default browser, so I set IE as my default browser
and have the same problem. I tried lowering the security settings all
the way with no luck as well as making sure anything related to scripts
under the advanced tab in IE settings is checked or allowed to run. I
reboot, still nothing. I install it on my laptop with XP SP2 as well,
same thing.
Has anyone run across this problem before? Are these tests not
compatible with XP SP2? I've already emailed Microsoft about it, but
I'm pretty sure I'll be certified before I get a response. Being able
to use these tests is what lead me to purchase the book in the first
place.
Edit-My friend bought the same book earlier in the year and I had him
try to install it on his XP laptop and he has the same problem.

in SP2 breaks the program. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885674/en-us

mcdba certification books

Hi,
Does anyone know a really great book for the certification of mcdba? I've
got the mocs, but those are not enough according to my mentor.
I 've looked for the administrator's companion book for sql server 2000 but
it's not available anywhere in my country.
Can anyone help me out.Hi Jason
The mcdba exam covers several areas, therefore database administration is
only one. You will need several books to cover all areas to the right levels
needed to pass the exam.
You don't say which country you are in or why the administrators companion
is not available. Typing in MCDBA into the search option of amazon should
give you a large list of books/cbt material etc.
You may also want to look at the virtual labs there are a few on
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...uallab/sql.mspx for SQL 2000
and some for SQL 2005 on msdn.

Hi John,
I'm from The Netherlands. Currently i'm doing the 2072 course, but the
mocs doesn't provide all details. During the measure-up of the 228 exam,
most of the questions refers to the administrators companion book. I've
looked at Amazone.com, but the prices are too high for shipping one book
. Do you know an altenative book for course 2072?|||Hi
For the complete MCDBA course you may need more than one book, which may
make shipping less of an overall problem.
Check out http://www.microsoft.com/learning/m...equirements.asp for
the exams you need to take.
You may want to check books listed on

The pocket adminstators consultant for SQL Server 2000 will be a useful
general guide and should also cover the exam syllabus.

MCDBA

Is there anyone who has recently done a MCDBA on their own and can recommend
a good book/set of books for the core exams...?
I am quite competent with desgning and administering databases from
Enterprise Manager, but need to fill in all of the T-SQL-sized gaps... And
can't afford to do a tutor-led course...
Thanks
Nick
