Yes I know...I know...I know....I should be getting on with finishing the MCSE track but whilst waiting for my next book to arrive I picked up my Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V unleashed book and before you know it I'd booked the exam. Well that was around a month or so ago and I sat and passed this one this morning with an 807. I know what I need to brush up on and I'm happy with the score.
Resources:
- Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Unleashed (SAMS) - Excellent book, I'd recommend this one (even if you don't specifically want to do the hyper-v exam) and it covers SCVMM2008 too.
- Technet - Some good info and procedures in there, as you'd expect.
- MS Free E-Learning for Hyper-V and SCVMM2008 - Great for an intro/overview
- Played around a lot with Hyper-V and SCVMM2008, this is essential
The exam itself was 47 questions over 90 mins, and if you're planning on taking it do not forget SCVMM too! I'm really glad I got stuck into learning Hyper-V and the SCVMM2008 intro it gave me. It made a good change from the 2003 track (I was feeling a bit burned out after doing the 291/293 exams) and I really enjoyed studying and reading the Hyper-V unleashed book, so much so I couldn't put the book down, stop reading the Technet resources or playing around with the software.
I'd best get back to trying to finish the MCSE then (with some further SCVMM2008 work in the background of course
, I will be doing that one at some point in the future too).
Cheers all!
