Hi there

I am just back from the exchange 5.5 exam and here are my questions and answers. I studied mainly from the mcse: exchange server 5.5 study guide by Richard Easlick and James Chellis.. and I was really absolutely bowled over to realise that all my 15 questions for the adaptive exam were from the review questions at the back of the book..[can you believe it!!!]

Needless to say I scored really handsomely except for one question which has conflicting answers..All the other answers I think are spot on as at least the book will testify..so here are the questions as I type it from the book itself

good luck everyone..I have only the proxy server to go before it is mcse+I..yippe yeah!!!! Wow wow!!

The question with the doubtful answer is the follng..

  1. Q. What does the "o=" field refers to in an X.400 address?
  2. A. o=Organization???

    B Site name???

    My book gives the answer as the second option which is the site name but there are other views like those like Ronen Shurer who has cited the TechNet article as evidence and says

    "Don't get confused with the site name. This answer is based on Microsoft's TechNet (Article: "X.400 Concepts and Terminology" , Section: "o/r address fields
    I've pasted the following from that article:
    Attribute Type Abbreviation Label Length
