Can someone advise on my upgrade options please?
Hi, I am pretty sure I know the answer to this but just thought I would ask here as no doubt some of you have been in the same boat as me. It is quite a few years now since I did any certs but my work now want me to start to look into Server 2012. The last certs I got were: Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist -…

A few questions about studying for MCSA
I just earned my CCNA and now I am considering getting a MCSA. I'm a bit lost on where to even start. I assume I should got for Windows Server 2012. The latest version is the best version to know, and what you learn could be applicable to 2010 R2 and 2003... right? With that said, Is there a book you can recommend? Also,…

Sybex Mastering for MCSA/MCSE 2012R2

I'm wondering if someone has created a list that would say for 70-410 read chapters blah blah blah or…

Took 70-680 today, score 681 Failed.
I prepared this exam about 3 months. First, with 70-680 Rapid Review by Orin Thomas, next MeasureUp exam prep Of course there was no braindump. I got 681, 19 points short. Better than the previous exam 70-685, I got 290. The weakest for me was Accessing Resources. It should be the only one cause why I failed this time. By…

Server 2012 MCSE complete!
I took the round-about way via the MCSA Server 2008 (MCITP:SA), upgrade to 2012 (70-417), then additional two exams to complete the MCSE. I'll tell you what...the 70-414 is no joke. Still not as difficult as the 70-640 (the hardest MS exam I've taken), but working with 2012/R2 in depth for the past 1.5 years definitely…
