1. Prepare the server for Windows SBS 2008 installation: This preparation requires the assurance that the server meets the basic system requirements for installation and planning the server storage.
2. Prepare the network for Windows SBS 2008: This preparation requires the assurance that the network is properly connected to the internet, that you understand how Windows SBS 2008 works with Active Directory and the Domain Name System (DNS), that IP addressing and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) are properly configured, and that you plan for configuring public and private domain names.
3. Install Windows SBS 2008: You perform most of the installations manually, by inserting the installation disc and following the guided setup. Here you can install an attended or unattended installation. Unattended installation is useful if you support multiple businesses that need Windows Small Business Server installation, if you need a customized installation, or if you are performing a migration from an existing Active Directory-based or Windows Small Business Server-based network. You can also troubleshoot the installation problems when they arise.
4. Perform initial getting started tasks: Getting started tasks include addressing any installation issues that arise, running the Connect To The Internet Wizard, and running the Internet Address Management Wizard.

These certification exams check your knowledge and experience on the subject. So, apart from getting hands on experience, the best way to get through the exam is to learn to master each and every aspect of the subject. However, it may take a long time to become a master in your specialized subject. You, therefore, need to focus on the important areas in order to pass the exam. For that reason, you should first identify the objectives of the exam and then use these methods to help you.

1. Create a study plan and stick to it: First of all, plan how you will go about studying for the exam. You can set a time limit to go through each objective. Try and finish it in the set time. You can also fix your daily hours of study and set a deadline as to when you will finish studying the entire content. This will help you prepare efficiently for the exam.
2. Take a self-diagnostic test: Once you have chalked out your study plan, attempt the diagnostic tests included in the PrepKit. They will help you assess the level of your preparation and bring out your strengths and weaknesses on a particular topic. Revise your study plans based on these results.
3. Concentrate on the objectives: You should go through all the exam objectives for CEH 312-50 available on the EC-Council Training and Certification Website. Concentrate on these objectives, as a thorough knowledge of the topics included in them is essential to passing the exam.
4. Study Notes: The study notes included in the PrepKit are organized according to the actual test objectives. They help you understand the topics clearly and systematically while organizing your studies and assisting you in difficult areas. The notes provide an in-depth knowledge of different topics and will help you become a master in your respective field.
5. Practice Questions: Practice questions are necessary for you to get an overview of the type of questions you will encounter in the actual exams. The more you practice, the better understanding you will have on the type of questions you will face. If you find that your knowledge on the subject is not up to the mark, go through the chapter again and re-take the practice test. This is the best way to master a topic.
6. Quiz: The exam quiz helps you learn the technical terms, concepts, definitions and such that are essential for the actual exams. You can set your own time limit for the quiz, and can also set the time allowed for each question to appear. Customized pop quizzes can also be created by selecting the topics and the number of questions under each topic, so that you can prepare for the actual exam quickly and effectively.
7. Articles: Technical articles help to enhance your understanding of technical issues. Articles written by industry experts and experienced professionals provide you with a better understanding of the skills needed for you to qualify for your exams, and to succeed in your career as an IT professional.
8. Study Tips: Exam-related advice including test tips, things to practice, test reviews and much more to guide you through your test preparations are all considered tips. Study tips help in effective studying and the retention of key points just as they are addressed in the exam.
9. Track your progress: Keep track of your progress over time by going through the detailed test report provided at the end of each practice test in the PrepKit. This will increase your confidence and you will be able to assess when you are prepared to take the actual exam.
10. Register for the test: Nothing is more crucial than setting a deadline. Therefore, you should register for the test at least two weeks in advance. This helps in building the tempo and keeps you more focused and determined.
11. Take the Final test: Once you have registered for the test, it is time for the final preparation. Go through the Final Test given in the uCertify Practice Test.
12. A quick review just before taking the test: As your exam day nears, it helps to go through all the tips, notes, exam alerts, and summaries given at the end of each chapter. Briefly glance through each topic to clear up any lingering doubts. Be relaxed and have a good night’s sleep.
