70-680
Hello guys, I've been reading posts about the difficulty of 70-680 which differed from one another. So I'm wondering how much I should prepare for the exam. For example, the MS book talked about scanstate and also suggested go to technet for more info. Do I need to go to technet just for the real exam? Does the real exam…

Backing up Database using SSMS 2012 Express
I was wondering for small business does it make sense to use SSMS 2012 Express, however it doesn't have agent job with the package. So instead of using an agent job, using a batch file in task manager scheduler? What are you thoughts on this? The SQL to back up a database is cake, I just need to create the batch file and…

Recertification Exams.
I was just wondering how Difficult Microsoft's recertification exams are. For instance you need to recertify your MCSE every 3 years, now if you wanted to get a new cert every year there comes a time at around 3-5 Certs that you wouldn't have enough time to get new ones because you are too busy keeping your current ones…

Exam Order
I have been interrogating Google about this, but I cannot seem to find an answer. I have seen posts indicating that you can take the MCSA exams out of order (i.e., 412 before 411), but is the same true of MCSE-level exams? Of course, you do not get the title of either MCSA or MCSE until you have passed all of the required…

Using RFCs to study for certification

MCTS 70-680 Pass
Just passed the 70-680! The test seemed fair and a little easier than I expected.

Server experience needed?
I am looking to start with the 680 test. While I am experienced with the OS, I am not very experienced at all with servers.

Question about 70-417 blueprint (upgrading to MCSA 2012)
Does the 70-417 exam have the same questions as the 3 individual exams?
