    - E-mail Signatures I am needing some assistance in how to properly layout an e-mail signature. I have four certs so far (not all Microsoft) and I need some suggestions on how layout the signature. Should I use / or , between certs and that sort of thing. Here is what I have come up with, please advise if it is proper or not (Microsoft's guidelines not too much help on this).

    - 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...)

    - If you are failing exams many times, Don't worry. I failed 4 times and passed finally at the 5th try. (70-290). I tried VUE and Prometric. I got about 650 with VUE. 1 month later, without much more studying, I took the test with Prometric. The score was 200 more. Does anyone have this kind of experience? With VUE, although I replied confidently, my score was very bad. Tag: Recent MCSE; 50% off TechNet Plus subscriptions is $225?? Tag: 165425

    - 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?

    - SAVE YOURSELF TIME, MONEY, AND SUFFERING ON YOUR MCSE! Folks, let's face the facts. The Microsoft MCSE tests are probably designed so you will fail multiple times. 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!

    - advice on setting up lab Hello group As I get deeper into my MCSE studies (currently concentrating on 70-291), I am planning to set up a more advanced lab, which will enable me to practice all the technologies required to pass this exam and future exams on the MCSE track. Im hoping that some of you experienced guys can give me advice on setting up the lab? I passed my previous MCP exams by linking an xp client to a server via a crossover cable, but I would like to configure RRAS and web server technologies. The lab I am trying to setup is going to be all wireless, using a Netgear DG834G wireless router and Belkin 802.11g PCI wirless cards installed in servers and clients. A static WAN IP address comes as standard from my ISP and I usually have this address configured on the router along with NAT to provide security for my home PCs. I have purchased 2 public IP addresses from my ISP. I have 2 DNS server IP addresses, which are supplied by my ISP. There are 2 PCs available to use as a DC and member server. When the lab is setup I would like it to be running in an Active Directory Domain Environment using DHCP, NAT, SUS services, RRAS configured to run VPN services and also be able to (maybe) host web applications on the internet. I was going to install a second NIC into one of the servers for RRAS, but not sure! I would like to setup the server so that my client PCs will optain their IP addresses dynamically and still be able to gain internet access. Would this be possible by using one of the public IP addresses? As I have said I am setting this lab up to use for my MCSE practice, but I would still like the network to be accessible to members of the family. Hopefully I have provided enough information here, but if not give me a shout. cheers ed Tag: Recent MCSE; 50% off TechNet Plus subscriptions is $225?? Tag: 165219

    - 70-291 - Didn't fail! But then I didn't pass either. Four questions into the test, it booted me out and wouldn't restart (a PCPREP.EXE error message IIRC). After the testing centre spent an hour on the phone to Prometric tech support (during which time they put the phone down on them), they rescheduled a new test for me, to begin immediately. The second attempt did the same thing after the 15th question. I guessing that it might be the sim questions causing it to fail. So anyway, I wasted a day off from work and now I'm gonna have to take another one in order to take my first attempt at this exam. I am utterly pissed off. I'm off to phone their complaints department and hopefully get the exam refunded so I can take it completely for free. -- Chris M. Tag: Recent MCSE; 50% off TechNet Plus subscriptions is $225??

    - 70-290. Cannot pass and need advice! Hi. I've tried and failed the 70-290 twice! First time I studied nothing but Trancender and got 568.

I bought the ExamCram2 book but its hopelessly brief and doesn't go into the detail that the MSPress book does.

    - Why Doesn't MCDST Count For MCSE I am looking to upgrade my MCSE from 4.0 to Server 2003. I understand having to take various tests again. But what I don't understand is the worthlessness of my MCDST in this regard. When I studied for my MCDST, I found that the materials for 70-271 and 70-272 were awful. I found the 70-270 materials much better, used them, and based on passing both tests on my first shot, my instincts were correct. The material on the combined 70-271/272 is pretty much the same as 270. At least it is from the Microsoft website. Why does MS force an MCDST to take 70-270 ???

I have read about briandumps etc on the microsoft website but someone siting the exam for a fee for somone else takes the biscuit.

    - Unfsckingbelievable! And we thought WE had problems with dumpers...THIS is scary stuff... PHILADELPHIA - Doctors who fail the American Board of Surgery written exam are no longer allowed to review their tests privately after one man wrote down the answers to dozens of questions and offered them for sale on the Internet. The board found out last summer that 86 questions used on its 290-question multiple-choice exam were listed on eBay. Board officials said it took just a few anonymous e-mail exchanges with the auctioneer to reach the doctor who had obtained the questions. "These are the actual certifying general surgery board questions with correct answers, guaranteed to improve your test score," the auctioneer wrote in August 2004. "A friend of mine failed this written exam, paid the $100 sitting fee and flew to Philadelphia to review his test. ... Why take the chance at failing, getting a year behind your peers...? Get an advantage now!" Craig Edward Amshel, a rectal specialist from St. Augustine, Fla., failed the 2002 exam. But, as was the practice at the time, he was later allowed to review his test, alone, at the board's offices in downtown Philadelphia for several hours. Amshel sold two or three sets of questions for $180 to $300, said his lawyer, David R. Dearden. "I was able to take notes very quickly and wrote down about 100 questions with the correct answer," Amshel wrote in an e-mail to a person posing, on the board's behalf, as someone preparing to take the 2004 exam. "Believe me, I was quite thrilled when I took the test last year as some questions were verbatim." Amshel, who passed the 2003 test, has had his board certification revoked. The board sued him in federal court in Philadelphia last fall, alleging copyright infringement and civil theft. Amshel admitted to a copyright violation but not the accusation of civil theft. He agreed to pay $36,000, the estimated cost of assembling teams of surgeons to go through the process of creating and testing new questions. "This is a sad incident - first, because it's so bizarre, but also because it says so much about the person's disregard for the rules and ethics," said the board's lawyer, Gabriel L.I. Bevilacqua.

"He's a young surgeon just getting started, well-regarded, and just trying to put this behind him." In addition to passing the all-day exam, a surgeon also must complete five years of training, get a recommendation from a mentor and complete an oral exam. begin 666 b?P=43yx80LaS.YHrNniQdHgOgO11RfOl0Ka9zsAA.9a&T=1694pq6ok%2fX%3d1117452091%2fE%3d8903239%2fR%3dnews%2fK%3d5%2fV%3d2.1%2fW%3ddefault%2fY%3dYAHOO%2fF%3d987016342%2fH%3dY2FjaGVoaW50PSJuZXdzIiBjb250ZW50PSJBbWVyaWNhbjttYW47SW50ZXJuZXQ7aXQi%2fQ%3d-1%2fS%3d1%2fJ%3d84A949D1&U=13917733e%2fN%3d59YipkLaSRY-%2fC%3d332139.6295573.7484482.2811172%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d2752327 K1TE&.#EA`0`!`( ``/___P```"'Y! $`````+ `````!``$```("1 $`.P`` ` end Tag: Recent MCSE; 50% off TechNet Plus subscriptions is $225??

    - MCP Transcripts Seems VUE somehow assigned me a second MCP number and my last exam for W2K MCSE got credited under that number. The folks at MS fixed it and merged the results in my real MCP number and my last test is showing up there now. I've met all the requirements for MCSE on Windows 2K but it's not showing up under cert status on my transcript. It even shows in the cert planner I've met all the requiments. Does it take a day or so for the cert status to catch up with the exams you have passed to update or somehting? Like a procedure that runs nightly to update or something? Or... did the fact they had to manually merge my last test booger up their system? Anyone know? I'm one of the slow children that took a few years to get my MCSE and I'm chomping at the bit to see it apear on my transcript now! ;) -- Joe MCSA 2K, A+, Network+, Security+ Tag: Recent MCSE; 50% off TechNet Plus subscriptions is $225??

    - OT: The Interview - Real, Funny...Real Funny A friend of mine got an interview for a contract in-house support position. It has the option for growth into AD Administration from the get-go which is why he accepted the position. He needs the experience, but that's not what this post is about. I felt the need to share some of the things he said post interview to the staffing agency contracting the position. He arrived on site to find another guy waiting to interview. He looked over to my friend and said. "Don't worry they have to positions." My friend, we'll call him Bob went in to the interview. now Bob is an intelligent person, he is certified and he has valid AD experience, so he's calm, collected and ready. His interviewer asked him why all of his experience was 2500 miles away and now all of the sudden he's moved here. He replied, "Well my ex-wife moved here and I wanted to make sure I was close to my daughter." They told him this was a noble thing he did, so he replies, "Yes, and I'll be sure to throw that in your faces later." That's only the beginning. Later he mentioned he wanted flexibility to look for another job, as this was a contract and he really wants to find permanent employment. They advised Bob he'd need to give a day's notice before skipping work to find another job. It gets better. so Bob nails the interview and the XYZ Company hires him on the spot. now he reports back to the staffing agency to find out just how little he will be paid. He walks up to the secretary and says, "I think I'll need about $17.00 USD per hour for this job." She said, "well it's $15.00 per hour because that's what we are paying the other guy. " he replies, "What the hell does that have to do with me?" She tells him it wouldn't be fair to pay each person differently, so he asks her for the guys phone number so he can call him and they'd both as for $17.00. She then tells him, "Well this is a Non-Profit Organization and they are limited on their pay. You understand don't you?" With a quick witted reply he says, "Well my apartment complex is a for profit organization and I don't think they'd understand." Needless to say he didn't get the $17.00 per hour, instead he got $15.00 but he still got hired and was given the flexibility to find another job on a moments notice. They only ask that when he does quit that he lets them know the day before if possible. I thought this was pretty funny. Goes to show how much the interview is based on personality and hitting it off with the interviewer. Oh and how he got this interview.

    - Value of MSCE certification I have read many comments, in this forum, about the value of an MCSE certification with and without experience. It reminds me of discussions, many years ago, about the value of a college degree. A college degree did not guarantee a job and college grads typically do not have much experience. So what value did the degree have that offset the tremendous cost of achieving it? Simple. Many more doors will be opened for the person that has chosen to get a college degree than one that didn't. I personally feel the same way about the MCSE. I know that it doesn't guarantee a job, but the lack of it will diminish the opportunity of getting an interview, of opening a door. I think that poeple with IT experience, but no current MCSE, are probably less likely to get a good job with another company. In other words, their skills are less portable. I have been in a number of interviews where the interviewer (an IT person) bad-mouthed the concept of certifications and yet their employment advertisement stated a requirement for certifications. I would ask these people what prompted them to invite me for an interview. The answer was always the same, my college degree and my current certification.

I'd just like to know where I can purchase a TechNet Plus Subscription for
$450USD... Seems to me that they are ALL more than that--so, that means my
50% discount isn't really a 50% discount....

Anyone else notice this?

What country are you in? I was under the impression that prices are
compensated, based on country of origin? In the pass you received a voucher
(code number ?) in your welcome kit, which entitled you to the discount.
Further, you do realize the base price of TechNet and TechNet Plus was
raised this year? You may want to do your homework...prior...to complaining.
