Also, there's quite a few live/on-demand webcasts over at Microsoft.

Since I'm on 284, I really want to watch that 14 part series on exchange 2003. I would like to catch up on some of the 2007 videos also, but that won't be for a while.

Earlier this month I also took the beta exam for Exchange 2007 (71-236). And I found it sometimes very difficult! There where a lot of question about the cmdlets. And because there was almost no study material, most of the questions I had to guess!

Now i'm waiting for the score......

Some guys at work took it and they stated you need to know a lot of the powershell equivalents to things you can do in the gui. Sounds like it's a very difficult MS exam.

Also, how are you guys getting beta invites? Is there somewhere you can sign up for them?

Ah thanks! I guess I should read those MCP Flash newsletters I have been getting in my e-mail.

The 'regular' MCP Flash newsletters don't contain the beta invitations codes, but when you are subscribed to it, you 'may' receive a special version with the code in it. If I remember correctly it actually used to have "Special" in the subject-line. In the following topic are some more thoughts about improving chances to get invited for beta exams:
