completely refreshed in the same way that the 70-058 exam was in '99

OT Security Clearance
I have looked at many jobs which require a US Gov Clearance. It seems like
it is a catch 22. You have to get a job to get a clearance but to get a
clearance you have to have a job the has access to information which would
require a clearance. Does anyone know if there is a procedure to get a
clearance without being sponsored?

I am loosing the will to cert.
With people like this 'allitcertkiller.com' crap I am losing the will to do
anymore certifications. For the honest person there is simply no hope. I
feel like a lone individual taking on a Red Army of cheaters.
I've heard all the arguments about people who cheat their certs can't cut it
in a technical interview. This assumes that you will get a technical
interview in the first place. I know of people who have got good technical
IT jobs and have not been asked a single taxing technical question during
interview.
Some of the time the interviewers are not that technical themselves which
makes it easy for your cheaters to blag their way to a job. I would say for
every one person with a real cert there must be ten or twenty with a
fraudulent one.
People say a cert won't get you job, maybe so, but it will definitely help
get you picked for an interview over someone who has less, or no certs.
I finished my mcse and mcsa in 2000 about 14 months ago. It took me a year
almost to the day to complete. I had to study my butt off to learn the
material to pass the exams.
Now however, I not sure if it is really worth all that work to upgrade my
cert to 2003 when in a month or two from now loads of people will be just
downloading or even buying the exam answers from websites like the above.
This kind of practice has just got to stop if the MS certs aren't to go from
joke status to totally meaningless. Everyone knows you can't stop these exam
answers from being propagated via the Internet, so MS has to change the exam
format simple as that and make all of the mcsx exams lab based, in part at
least.
Just think MS have the cash to setup testing labs. Although it may take a
while they could have lab based exams in say two or three years, just in
time for the win 2000 exams to expire.
You cannot cheat a lab based exam simple as that. Better still you could
have it so say if you fail the lab after three attempts you will not be able
to take it again for six months or a year. That would stop people just
bashing away at it until they got a pass.
What ever happens they just have to do something and fast. Stopping the
braindump sites is like trying to stop P2P file sharing, impossible. Tag: OT: Cig for Frisbee® Tag: 101134

2003
Well I took my own advice and got back on the horse and passed 292
today. I knew I had to have been close yesterday. The exam today was
much easier and stuck to the MS guidelines and to the MSPress book
which reaffirmed my initial feelings for it as a study guide. I had a
lot of SUS, TS, Remote Admin, DNS(all the new stuff was hit on), and
auditing. All in all a very different pool of questions today. Not
nearly as wordy and not nearly as many exhibits today.
On to 296. How's 224 coming Jeff?

Mcse 2003
I had a piece of humble pie today. I failed 292. It really surprised me
with some of the questions but others I felt good about. I ran out of
time on the last 5 questions so I played guessaroo with them. I am
using MSPress which is good. I think I would have passed had I noticed
my time more closely. Oh well, either retaking tomorrow or Sat.
The test had lots of real world type questions and I had about 40-50%
of exhibits. They really wore on my nerves too. I got lots of Audit
policy, SUS, Remote Admin/Assistance, DNS, and some oddball questions
with VBScript and IPSec\SMB signing.

MCSE exams braindumps
Well I took and passed 70-292 today at a Prometric center. I noticed
that the testing program has been updated. On a number of the questions
I could have done with a MUCH larger screen as I couldn't see half of
the question in hand. Also one question that said see exhibit had no
exhibit button - had to take a big guess. So I noted it as I was going
to make a comment at the end. But strange things happened at the exam
end. I was not given the chance to comment and also it didn't even tell
me if I'd passed, only printed out the sheet.
Any one else had the same thing????

NT4/Exchange55 Mcse, Now what...
I got myself certified at my own expense in 98/99. MCSE in
NT 4 w/elective of TCP/IP and Exchange 5.5.
My employer has provided no training since then, nor do
they plan on doing any in the future.
I have been working with Win2k and 2003 as well as
Exchange 2000 but alas, my certs are fairly worthless to
go get a job anywhere with my current MCSE.
I am still working at the original job, but I would like
to find a place to at least supplement my education and
give me some advancement opps. I currently run the whole
show for the company.
I would like to know what is the best and most cost
effective way to make myself valuable to another company.
$13,000 is a bit steep to get to where I was (MCSE) for a
$60K a year job.
Any suggestions?

Password Panic in Active Directory
System - Windows 2003 Server
Problem - I am unable to reset passwords in active
directory users & computers.
Symptom - I get an error message saying that I have not
met the requirements for complexity/length or history.
This happens either when creating new accounts in AD
logged on as Domain Admin, resetting existing account
passwords or even when logging on as a domain user to a
different station (on XP) and attempting to change a
personal (non-admin) user password.
There are NO policies in effect from the default site
policy down thro the sub-containers which affect account
password policy and running RsoP also confirms there are
no password policies in place.
I would apprecaite any suggestions as this worked a few
days ago and nothing seemingly has been changed other than
setting up and starting RIS. DNS & DHCP are functioning
OK, and it is a single DC. I am in a big panic as I need
to create 800 accounts by Monday!!

Certs and HR people...does HR know anything about certs?
1st off I'd like to say kudos and "about time" that a
certification was developed for the largest staffing
compliment within most large IT organisations, the
helpdesk/desktop teams.
Having said that, I see massive problems with this.
For at least a decade the HR world has beaten into the
heads of its non-technically inclined recruiters and
account managers that you can't present a candidate to a
15 dollar an hour IT job unless he/she has a valid MCSE
(Engineering) cert. While we all appreciate the
absolutely grotesque absurdity of a support tech needing
an engineering cert based on their job description and
career path having absolutely nothing at all to do with
engineering, the fact remains that your employed IT
Support people likely all have been forced to take, pay
for and pass the MCSE requirements just to get a job.
The HR world, moves slower than most as its staffed almost
exclusively with non-IT career folks who know only what
they read about in the news regarding IT certifications,
qualifications and trends. Enter the MCSA certification.
HURRAY!!!
Finally something about Administering a network rather
than how to build one. But do any HR people know about
this? How many contract companies do you think are
willing to admit that they've turned away qualified
administrators and instead hired engineers for server
admin, network Admin, LAN admin jobs based solely on
thinking an MCSE was the holy-grail catch-all one required
before getting one's resume looked at or indeed rescued
from the trash can?
Now we add a "Desktop Support" certification and might I
also point out that for some reason the
terminology "Desktop" seems to no longer be used.
Apparently HR folks have re-labeled things as Helpdesk II
or Helpdesk Support, or Support Analyst II etc... and when
you mention the term "Desktop Support" they say things
like "what's that?", or "never heard of that before",
or "oh you mean helpdesk!"
My main issue with this wonderful Cert which I applaud
whole heartedly and look forward to getting is this: how
many MCSE's are entrenched in Desktop Support... I
mean, "helpdesk" positions who have been trained how to
buil,d a network but not to administer or support one, and
how many contract, staffing, sourcing firms are going to
look at anyone without the sacred talisman and admit these
shortcomings, opting to hire staff with this new unknown
certification despite it being the defining qualifications
test of a productive support analyst?
Do we fire the MCSE's who are whoolly unskilled and
untrained in supporting a network or a desktop environment
being as they should have never been hired into support
and instead placed into the Infrastructure divisions where
their certifications would be valid, and replace the mis-
employed by those with the right qualifications?
Do we sit all the HR staffing people in a room and once
and for all try to teach them who is qualified to do what
and why and hope it actually sinks in being as these non-
IT people are in complete control over who gets the
interviews and who gets shunned?
How does one correct the indoctrination that MCSE is all
one needs to do anything IT related and disseminate new
policy that actually makes sense to people who can't think
for themselves and only look at resumes that contain "what
the end client specifically asks for"?
How do we re-educate the end clients all over the world
about why their own hiring practices are costing them
money and lowering their TCO strategies and present them
with a cost effective TCO solution with "the right cert
for the right task"?
Maybe I just think too much, but I've done work at
Building 25, at Texaco Corporate in Houston, been a NOC
manager for a Chevron company and done training for a MS
Atec and I still come up with almost every huge
multinational telling me I either need an MCSE for some 14
dollar an hour help desk job which is personally insulting
to say the least; or when I apply to Admin jobs with the
MCSA material I have taken they say things like "what's
that?", or "the client wants an MCSE not whatever you
have"? I get way too frustrated with IT managers who know
nothing about IT but have management jobs simply because
the group they used to manage over in finance, or sales,
or some other non-tech related division downsized and
he/she just happened to land in IT where they've managed
to screw up the entire inner workings of business flow,
productivity and have staffed with capable, but grossly
mis-placed employees.
Perhaps someone from MS or Volt redmond reading this would
like to shoot me an email and let me know what I can do to
help.
I live in Ontario Canada and was just offered a position
with Volt in Toronto for 17 bucks an hour doing phone
support work for MS SMS. Tell me that isn't insulting
considering I'm a seasoned US Fortune 100 IT Manager.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me how these new
Certs will work for me or how I can drive the re-education
of the HR people? I'll step up to the plate and run with
it. Anyone want to help me to help us all?
Anyone?
