I just passed the 70-417 this morning with a summary score of 700.
70-410 - 775
70-411 - 700
70-412 - 766
Don't be mad, but I barely studied for this test... We had a free voucher from work that was about to expire so I went and took this test. Here is what I felt made me pass this test which I hope is helpful:
I'm happy about this pass because I've failed probably 5-6 exams in my history so I've taken probably 15-20 Microsoft tests. This is also my 3rd or 4th time in the 700 club.

- Extreme studying throughout the 2003/2008 exam processes. Real labbing, lots of real world experience, and a focus on in-depth UNDERSTANDING of subject material.
- Watched the What's new in Server 2012 videos on cbtnuggets and read about the product as it is coming out.
- Watched a few minutes of the MCSE upgrade video path on cbtnuggets
I'm happy about this pass because I've failed probably 5-6 exams in my history so I've taken probably 15-20 Microsoft tests. This is also my 3rd or 4th time in the 700 club.

Definitely going for MCSE Server at some point. But it wasn't on my radar for this year. In terms of training/education I'm looking more like:
Citrix
Hitachi and maybe also EMC
VMware 5 upgrade cert -

Congrats, but I dont think you can do an upgrade for VCP5. I thought you had a certain amount of time to get the VCP5 once it was released or else have to take the class again? -

The deadline on upgrades was being able to upgrade vcp4 without taking a class.
Since that is passed, I have to take a class now. But because I have the VCP4, I only have to take the "What's New" class and pass the test in order to upgrade my certification.
