    - Revelation of the day with regards to MS certification value [commentary] While both are totally invalid "certifications" and essentially unimportant in the job market, BOTH the MCNGP and the MCSBNGP+++ have been regarded by the unindoctrinated as "worthy", at least of an initial inquiry. It is only upon following up that we're full of something does it become apparent that we are better than everyone else. This suggests that currently non-existant certifications may be useful in increasing one's perceived value to stupid hiring managers. Consider the possibility... An overflow of "bogus" non-certification certifications on the market would cloud the vision of these human orange cones and hurtle MS's certification division into disarray. Consider... If there really were an MCSB, an MCSC, MCSD, MCSF, MCSG, MCSH, MCSI, et al, and you had one on your love me wall, and the hiring manager was too lazy to really look into it (and they usually ARE), your resume might move to the top of the stack simply because you have more four letter words than the next guy. As Microsoft has not specifically created these varied certifications, they cannot claim "ownership" of the initials, and as such, it would not be illegal to create them. If one were to create these certifications, what one could do is have a test for each, albeit one that is dramatically simpler than the . In this way, the certifications would become fair to stupid people, and the playing field would be leveled for entering the job market. The credibility of any given certification would require further analysis and examination on the part of the hiring manager, and the total cost of hiring an MCSwhatever would increase because it would become more difficult to separate reality from fiction. What steps would be required to make this process so it would not be easily discernable as "bogus"? What steps would be required to maintain the legality of the process? How many should we make? The certifications MCSB, MCSC, MCSD, MCSF, MCSG, MCSH, MCSI, MCSJ, MCSK, MCSL, MCSM, MCSN, MCSO, MCSP, MCSQ, MCSR, MCSS, MCST, MCSU, MCSV, MCSW, MCSX, MCSY, MCSZ, unless otherwise reserved, are (c)opyright 2005, Rob Lindman.

    - Need your urgent help Hi, I am following a course sponsored by my office which will earn me the MCSE certificate.

    - Woohoo! Well, passed 291 today. Different testing centre from the last time and the whole thing went without a hitch. That makes me an MCSA. CCNA next, methinks. I'm getting a little tired of MS exams :-) Passed with 700, when actually I thought I might have failed due to me having to take an educated guess at more than one question. It's certainly not the nicest MS test in the world! Interestingly, I had the exact same problem as this guy had with a DNS simulation question: http://www.sadikhov.com/forum/Passed-70-291-Score-962_30107.html I sent feedback for that question. I also had another DNS sim question. The question involved two domains and a DNS server in one. The thing was, the same of the domain was wrong (i.e. the DNS server I was configuring was on abc.com and not xyz.com, even though the question said that I had to configure the DNS server on xyz.com...) Anyway, in conclusion, MS need to test their sims more thorougly. -- Chris M. Tag: 291 vs 293 Tag: 165771

    - 70-291 DHCP Question Hello All, My second first (see post '70-291 - Didn't fail!' on the 31st of May for an explanation of that) attempt at 291 is on Tuesday. I have a question regarding DHCP and DHCP relays - how does the DHCP server know what set of configuration to serve to a client? What I mean is, let's say we have a DHCP server that will serve two subnets, with a DHCP relay on the remote subnet or a 1549 compliant router in between. There are two scopes on the DHCP server, one for the local subnet and one for the remote subnet. Now, what confuses me is this - when the DHCP sever receives a DHCPDISCOVER packet, it will just pick the next address from the free pool of addresses and send it as a DHCPOFFER, yes? So, how does the DHCP server know which scope to offer an address from? Obviously if a DHCPDISCOVER packet is relayed from the remote subnet, that client will need a different default gateway address. OK, we could use client reservations, but the books I have make no mention of using that in this situation. Yours confusedly, -- Chris M. Tag: 291 vs 293 Tag: 165720

    - Global Scope Hello there. I need someone to explain the differences between Domain Local, Global and Universal Groups. I pick up concepts very quickly, but this one just has me at a loss. I have read three separate study guides and still cannot understand global scope. The article I am in front of right now reads; " ... The easier, more accurate and secure way to assign the permissions needed would be to create a Domain Local group and assign it the required permissions on the file shares. " Which I completely understand. Very straight forward, if it ended there... " After doing this, the administrator could create a Global group and place the 20 user accounts into that Global group. Adding the Global group to the Domain Local group results in all 20 users inheriting the Domain Local group's assigned permissions ... " What? Why would you do that? Surely you would simply assign the users to the Domain Local group, as outlined in the first paragraph. Why does the Global group even come into play? I really need some help on this one.

    - Restore 2003 Server to Different Hardware I'm trying to setup my disaster recovery plan for a windows 2003 server running TS. It is currently on old IBM hardware, but for disaster recovery I will need to know how to restore to some later IBM hardware. What would be the best path to bring the box back to life? Any suggestions please? For a test, I am currently in the slow process of installing 2003 on different hardware and am going to restore the full backup over it from the old 2003 server, then do a 'repair install' of 2003. I'm not sure if this will work considering 2003 and TS licensing and other issues to do with 2003. However, I have (after much effort) successfully restored a 2000 Domain Controller that had FSMO, GC, DNS and Exchange 5.5 to different hardware. If anyone would like my notes on how I did this, let me know. But at the moment, I'm trying to do the same with 2003. -- Regards, Slarty Bartfast - "Huh?

    - Cannot Open the Stencil window using Controls I am currently just testing out how to embed Visio within a Windows form. I have the main FORM class that has these definitions: public AxMicrosoft.Office.Interop.VisOcx.AxDrawingControl axDrawingControl1; .... public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); Visio.Application visioApp = null; visioApp = (Visio.Application) this.axDrawingControl1.Window.Application; this.axDrawingControl1.Src = "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Visio11\\1033\\blank.vsd"; Diagram diag = new Diagram(visioApp); ... } This code calls another class, called Diagram in which I programmatically create a diagram. Unfortunately, I get a run-time exception on the last line: ... docsObj = visioApp.Documents; docObj = docsObj.Add("Basic Diagram.vst"); pagsObj = visioApp.ActiveDocument.Pages; pagObj = pagsObj[1]; ***stnObj = visioApp.Documents["Basic Shapes.vss"];*** ... For some reason, the stencil window does not load within the control or the form and this is what is causing the exception. This code works perfectly fine if I just run it w/in Visio, replacing the line : visioApp = (Visio.Application) this.axDrawingControl1.Window.Application; with visioApp = new Visio.Application(); Any ideas? Am I forgetting to set something within the control? Thanks in advance, Alex Tag: 291 vs 293 Tag: 165559

    - 292 Blues... Ok, I just took the 292 for the second time. I knew that I was underprepared the first time, so I worked on it in my spare time for a couple of weeks. Felt much better about it, heard birds possibly chirping, clicked "I'm done," and... didn't pass. Ok, not the end of the world. And I've seen much of the conversation here about the difficulties. What I don't quite get is the scoring. There are six categories on the test. Simply adding the bars together I was well over the 70% (700 out of 1000) needed. But I did score lower than 70% on three of the categories. Do I need to: 1> Just quit whining and become perfect? 2> Bring all categories up above 70%? 3> Bring most (ie, 5) categories above 70%? It's not as clear cut in terms of what skillset category I should focus on. I might add that this one is particularly frustrating. Especially if you add in the "there are some questions that don't count" issue. 40 questions, equally spread would give 6-7 questions per category. In order to get 70% means essentially getting 5 questions right. Add to that some of the questions seem to be particularly squirrely in terms of scenario. These scenarios may be more appropriate to real life, but real life doesn't give you a 2 hour stopwatch. Ah, well. Sorry if this sounds like whining (dusting myself off and getting back on the horse). I absolutely understand and applaud the attempt to make the certifications more meaningful by making the exams more challenging. And I absolutely reserve the right, once I've passed it, to make condescending comments about people who complain about the exam later on<g>. -- RL (failure has a name...)

    - New to MCP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm new to MS certifications, and am having difficulties finding out exactly which exams I should take, and what certifications are available? I was told that having an MCSE would be great to put on a resume, but after looking up more information on MS's website, I found that there were other exams that would probably be best to start with. Also, I read somewhere that the A+ was a prerequisite for the MSCE. I'm already pretty well versed in Windows XP, and have a lot of experience working with Windows Server 2000 and 2003, but am wondering where to start. I'm currently reviewing for the A+ (although I'm extremely confident it will be a breeze...) I should have taken it years ago, but didn't bother as I already had 6+ months experience and didn't want to pay for it. But now, it seems that I should before I take the MS certs. Also, what makes you an "MCP", as I didn't see this as a separate certification. From what I understand, passing nearly any of the MS exams will give you this status. From the looks of it, it seems that the MCDST would be a good place to start, as it seems to be the lowest level of certification available. Any ideas on where to start? And what exams are necessary for what certifications?

Look at the history we see here... They are laden with convenient software crashes, hordes of unnecessary paperwork, numbers, and the burden of having to show up just so you can fail for Microsoft's financial gain at your expense and your suffering. Of course, pass or fail, your supervisor requires you to take these tests. And there's a job later on that might require you to have a four letter word like MCSE on your resume. In truth, admit it to yourself if not me, the time, the struggle, the effort, the failure, it's not REALLY going to help you to get that better job that you actually deserve, because there's a big breasted blonde or the Vice Presidents rich nephew who will get it in spite of your bosses promises and your obvious qualifications. But let's not dwell on that fact. Let's look away from the bait and switch maneuvering that comes from dealing with Evil, Incorporated, and the sickening bureacratic do nothings that control Corporate America. Instead, let's look for a SOLUTION. Now that you know the test could be rigged, you've got to ask yourself, how can I spare myself the wasted time and effort, the pain and agony of repeated (albeit probably intentional and entirely not my fault) failure, the extra days of waiting? How can I spare myself the potential impact on my current deadline that will make me look bad at work like I can't get things done? How can I spare myself the potential impact on my home life and how my kids will despise me for missing little Jimmy's softball game when I was working towards the fallacy of an (four letter word:) MCSE? IS THERE AN ANSWER THAT WILL HELP ME AVOID ALL THIS UNDESIRABLE BOOLZH!T? Yes, there is. The answer is to send someone else! The answer is MICROCEPHALIC S. BOB's MCSE FAIL & BLAME SERVICE. YEAH! For a limited time only, you can send ME in your place and I WILL FAIL FOR YOU. I'M GREAT AT IT. And I will endure the hassles, the paperwork, the torture, the ugly fat greasy people who breathe heavily behind you and smell like bad cheese, the sneers and retorts, the noises, distractions, the uncomfortable sitting position, and the software failures that are all probably part of a plan to make YOU feel bad about yourself, a plan to make YOU hate your life, a plan to STEAL YOUR MONEY AND HAPPINESS IN RETURN FOR NOTHING BUT A PIECE OF PAPER AND A RECORD IN A DATABASE SOMEWHERE. Send me, and it will be my fault. Send me, and send a message to them that YOU'RE HAPPY AS HELL AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! Yes, with MICROCEPHALIC S. BOB's MCSE FAIL & BLAME SERVICE, YOU TOO CAN TAKE THE DAY OFF. Get caught up on your deadline. See Jimmy's first bunt and little Cyndy's ballerina recital. Spare your ego. Fool your bosses. FIGHT THE MAN. PUT AN END TO POVERTY (at least, for Microcephalic S. Bob). There you have it, friends, for just a small stipend, transportation, room and board, a meal, and a disguise, I'll be the one to blame for your failure the first two times you go take the potentially rigged test for that nearly worthless MCSE. From the look of things, you would have failed twice anyway, because they control it, and they get to charge you to retake it. With MICROCEPHALIC S. BOB's MCSE FAIL & BLAME SERVICE, you can save yourself the grief, the wasted time, and the wasted effort and needless frustration. MICROCEPHALIC S. BOB's MCSE FAIL & BLAME SERVICE - You'll get caught up at work, and your kids will love you for it. MICROCEPHALIC S. BOB's MCSE FAIL & BLAME SERVICE - the easy way to fail - try it today!

Anyone compare the two at all? I just failed the 291 exam (678!!!!!), damn
obscure DNS questions. I am wondering the difference between 291 and 293,
which will be my next after I pass 291.

I run an online magazine dedicated to security and certs. We actually
recommend taking 293 & 294 before 290 & 291. It's easier to maintain a house
if you know how it was built.

Hope this helps,
