No sims? those sims are pretty good at securing this exams... I hope they start adding this soon...

Does anyone have a link of where I order my welcome kit for MCSA and MCTS?

I was in this site, apparently my welcome kit is not yet available. I think I have to wait a certain period of time, cause the exam I just passed is not yet posted.

Congrats on the pass!

It usually takes a day or two for the exams to show up and the welcome kits to become available.

Congratulations!

I know you've been working on this one for awhile. It must be nice to have it behind you.

What are you moving on to now?

You may have posted this somewhere else, but what did you use to prepare for this exam?

jbaello

Thanks, for the preparation I used the following.

How to **** at "Configuring Exchange Server 2007"
Trainsignal Exchange Server 2007 (70-236) - This is a very big video that you can use for all MCITP: Exchange Administrator.
CBT Nuggets Configuring Exchange Server 2007 (70-236)
Trainsignal/How to **** on configuring
24 Hours of Exchange
Transcenders

1 DC - 32 Bit
1 Mail Server - 64 Bit
1 Mail Server - 64 Bit (Cluster Configuration)
1 Edge Server - 64 Bit
1 Outlook 2007 Client

OWA is indeed working fine, my DC is so retarded sometimes, when I have to restart it it works 1 out 3 times. I suggest doing lab training heavily, instead of just reading the books otherwise it will be harder to understand some advance features in HUB/CAS/Edge/LCR/CCR roles Server/Organization configuration of HUB and CAS, specially Edge.

Took me 4 months studying this, averaging 6 days per week, 3 - 4 hours per night, then the last 3 weeks averaging 6 - 8 hours a day, configuring this stuff is such a tedious process, I do not suggest it for everyone, the better approach will be to use a ready made Image virtualization or not, then use WSUS, since each server requires a lot of components.

I'll wrap up my MCSE, then focus my attention on my resume, I am looking into applying a level II or III IT Specialist state job (this will be hard). I actually purchase a used HP 4300N, it will be my work horse for printing all kinds of stuff, that I will be reviewing.

Going forward has anyone taken an exam for state job in California?

I am eyeing this two MCITP: Exchange 2007 and CCNA

If Diablo 3 was out, I will definitely take a breather for 3 months :P arghhh can't wait for the game...

jbaello

I forgot to add, I also use Mastering MS Exchange 2007 as a reference when the other book is vague on some topics, it's pretty decent. This two books was previously recommended by Royal ofcourse...
