Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but long-time TechExams member royal was named a Microsoft MVP (Exchange Server: Architecture) for 2009 for his efforts in the Exchange community.

Congrats! icon_thumright.gif

    Thanks. My friend sent out something similar to the entire MS team at my company (over 150 people on this distribution list). Couldn't believe that!

    And ya, I don't care if you guys see what I look like.

    Congrats royal. As dynamik said, this is not at all surprising. It's fair to say that the MVP title for Elan had been due for a while.

    Rock on! Congrats Royal, that's quite a accomplishment.

    Pardon me for my ignorance, but how many other Techexam members are MVP's? Just curious...

    Posting congrats (again, I lost some posts from the maintenance)... you have certainly earned it! Here's hoping some of that knowledge and dedication will rub off on the rest of us plebs.
    IT guy since 12/00

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
    Working on: RHCE/Ansible
    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...

    A few posts were wiped out in last night's maintenance. I asked him about his involvement with the MS community, and he said he only has about 100 posts with them, spends more time on TE and his blog, his blog was the main reason for earning the MVP, and his OCS deployment tutorials were cutting-edge and many used them for their own deployments. That's me paraphrasing of course; hopefully I got that right.

    Congrats again!

    Does this mean we have to fill our Microsoft-related questions out in triplicate and add a healthy bribe to each thread in order for him to answer us? icon_lol.gif

    Close. 100 newsgroup posts with about 700 on m***change.org forums. Other than that just the blog and TE.

    And thanks again!
