After being an MCSA 2000 since 5 years and no additional certification in the meantime i decided that it’s more an overdue to do something again in this direction. So i made today my first exam in the new Windows Server 2008 World. First step was the 70-642 Exam. As ‘human’ readable: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring
But of course, that was just the first step. My goal is of course the MCITP (Microsoft Certified IT Professional) for W2008. Currently i can’t say which exact track i will choose. But the next exam will be the 70-640 (Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring).
For all those which are interested in my ‘training methods’. Hmm, it’s quite boring: Lot of reading (in official MS-Press and others), playing around in VM-Labs and that’s it 🙂
So, the last comment before i’ll go to bed: In my opinion the exams are much more harder than to the glory W2000-Times. But that’s a good way. Now you really have to understand that stuff. I don’t think boot camps or such ‘1-week-crash-course’ are the right way. Because maybe you’ll pass the exam, but when you never really understood that material, you won’t be successful in your job when you have to use the knowledge. I’m a fan of reading, trying, understanding 🙂 Just my 2 cents.
Wish you a good night 🙂
BTW: This was the first blog-post with MS Word 2007. Cool stuff 😉
