Any Recommended CBT?

Couple of good CBTs (I'm also in the UK)
Firstly the Dummies guide to 228, honestly its a good book
and has some really good practice tests.
However if you want the daddy of them all go to
www.trancender.com which offer the best 228 questions
money can buy.

Thanks, Peter - I'll take a look.
Is there an actual official Microsoft Computer Based course for this - or
have they missed a revenue opportunity? (Not like them!!)

Any documentation to set up multi instance cluster

I want to set up 3 active and 1 passive on a 4 node cluster and would like
to see an install guide for something like that. Can anyone redirect me to
one ?
Thanks
Use the guide you found for the first instance, then follow the books online
to install the rest of the instances.
Remember each instance will need an IP and dedicated disk(s).
Cheers,

|||Are you having trouble setting up the cluster or the SQL Server instances?
If you are running N + I, then when you install SQL Server, you only include
two nodes as potential resource owners.
If we designate nodes 1, 2, and 3 as the active nodes and 4 as the passive,
then for instance 1 you would include nodes 1 and 4, for instance 2, nodes 2
and 4, and for instance 3, nodes 3 and 4.
Other than this, the setup for SQL Server is exactly the same as for a
single instanced, 2-node cluster.
Perhaps I am not understanding your question fully.
Here are two references, one for multi-node clusters, and one for SQL Server
failover clustering (the document is for SS2K but applicable for SS2K5; it
also provides a link to SS2K5 related information).
See the Number of Nodes and Failover Plan section:

Our organization would like to make use of sql server repository meta data
for use in our CIM system (following DMTF standards).
I have created a repository database, imported an information model into it,
and am now trying to program using the Meta Data SDK API.
In my view the API is not well documented at all. The documentation
describes the API but offers very very little in the way of examples. Am i
missing something or is there very little in the way of examples to use this
technology.
I also have found virtually no books on the subject matter that can help us.
Any help in this area is greatly appreciatted as there are virtually no
examples on the net either. I wonder if we are on the right track or if this
is so new that nobody has put out information on how to use it.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
