Newest MCITP:VA

Just passed the 70-663 today with a 737. Quite excited about it too as I was fully expecting to fail this exam. I don't really have any experience with MED-V and AppV. Fortunately most of the questions could be puzzled out with some knowledge and common sense. I would say overall the tests are about the same level of difficulty. Feels good to finally have gotten a new certification! Now to start diving into some XenServer I believe.

Congrats! App-V was actually the most interesting part for me. I use it at work and it's fantastic. Definitely consider checking it out If you ever have a chance.

I've found it pretty interesting as well as we have a few clients that would be suited for AppV. We don't have anyone that would really benefit from MED-V though unfortunately.

Congrats. I passed the 659 on Friday and am looking to do the 693 and 669 within the next month or so.

Any good tips?

Biggest thing that will help you is getting your hands on with AppV and MED-V. If you've got a lab available for it spend some time in it. Just a few days of playing around will help a lot more than just reading through stale documentation. Taking a look at the documentation is important though so don't bypass that either. If you don't have any clustering experience with Hyper-V then I definitely would recommend building a cluster and managing it both with and without SCVMM. If you can, I know that's not always possible to set one up due to the storage requirements.

MED-V is a method of last resort. Even partners that I've come in contact with say they tell their customers to find another way if at all possible to not use it.

Congrats on the pass. This is something I'm looking into in the future. I have my own App-V setup here at work and I'm working on a MED-V.
