    - 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.

    - 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:thank god i'm from the other coast 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.

    - 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. -- msadmin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ msadmin's Profile: http://www.yourserver.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=1 View this thread: http://www.yourserver.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=2 Tag: OT:thank god i'm from the other coast Tag: 100988

    - 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???? -- msadmin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ msadmin's Profile: http://www.yourserver.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=1 View this thread: http://www.yourserver.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1 Tag: OT:thank god i'm from the other coast Tag: 100987

    - 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.

    - 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.

    - 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? scott@weblife1.com Tag: OT:thank god i'm from the other coast Tag: 100922

But under what situtations that we need to use multicast scope though? Is it necessary? Does it make things easier? I don't quite get it because the book doesn't explain too much about what multicast does instead of just teaching me how to create a multicast scope under the DHCP snap in.
