You would think having years of experience with the product would be helpful when sitting an exam. In general that is true, but it means that some questions you end up looking too deeply. Some questions appear to be too straightforward. Some questions are on areas you would barely use over the lifetime of the product.
This raises a question - does this make the Microsoft certification process a bit of a lottery?
I don't think so. In many ways these types of questions accurately reflect the day to day experience of someone who is (or aims to be) an MCSE. Some questions you get asked every day are really easy to answer. Some questions are so obscure you have to make an educated guess. The exam reflects real life.
Having said all that, I have yet to see anyone use RIP or OSPF on Windows Server. I'll be happy if I never have to answer another question on these protocols again!
