    Interesting...
    When logging into the Prometric Candidate History pages I noticed that I passed the first Windows 7 MCITP exam. I’m not sure if passing this exam gives me a new credential. According to this page in the Microsoft Learning Catalog it should give me a new credential : Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP): Enterprise Desktop Support Technician 7. But for now, it’s not showing (yet) on my transcript.
    UPDATE : Just received an update from one of my sources over at Microsoft Learning. The results of the 71-686 are already at Prometric. Prometric is processing the results as-we-speak and they should pop up on your Prometric Candidate History within 2 weeks from now!

    tested for 686 here too, still.

    Hi folks,

    I'm another one who passed the 685 exam (purely by chance I think), however I am having an issue with the Prometric website. 3 days ago I could logon and see my candidate history (there was my 685 in all it's glory) and 686 was listed as 'tested', however _now_ I can no longer log onto Prometric. It claims my user id or logon information is incorrect. I also cannot use the 'retrieve password' option (just in case I had lost my mind and forgot my password in 3 days)

    Has anyone else had issues logging on?

    Cheers

    I just logged in fine. 686 is still "tested"
  • novovictusnovovictus Member Posts: 192
    i have no issues logging in, try calling, they can look you up.

    it is also on my MS transcript already...

    For the 686 it still says tested for me as well. I have been having issues signing in here and there on the Prometric site. Saturday the site said "Down for schduled maintenance" when I tried to check my history. I was hoping that might mean results would be posted but as of 7:55 AM EST (-5 GMT) it looks like they are not. It looks like Linux+ results will not be posted till January, so that's an even bigger stinker.

    Congratulations!

    I was hoping you could tell me what you used to study for the 70-685. I got the exam objectives off the Microsoft site, but I was wondering what you used to test yourself. I have noticed that there are no study books available for the 70-685 yet, but there are going to be a few.

    Thanks!

    I used this site and the MOC listed.... Along with my expience and running 7 at home, that was more than enough.

    685 shows passed 686 shows tested, however i have a sneaking suspicion that will soon change to a failed.... :-{

    685 shows on my ms transcript as well, no new cert though as i already had pro:enterprise support from the mcdst vista upgrade...

    You will not have a new cert for two reasons:
    1. You need the Windows 7 Client exam
    2. They have not officially defined the requirements for the MCITP: EST 7 title yet.
