Taking MCSE 70-290 Exam
Dear All,
I have taken the 70-290 exam once and failed. I used MS Press to
study, downloaded brain dumps from transcender and used the test exams
on the media that comes with the MS book.
Please can someone provide me with some advice about what to study?
Thank you in advance :) Tag: OT: plan a party Tag: 172562

OT: League Table 09/20/2005
It's been established that the present management of the League Table is
corrupt and fallable.
At present, the point structure of the table is arbitrarily assigned at will
by the previous owner, whose name we will never speak again.
This is of course unilateral and biased and completely without fairness and
normalcy.
So, logically, we must remove the tyrannical and unilateral previous owner
of the League Table, and select an all new tyrannical and unilateral owner
of the League Table.
And, I've decided, this is going to be me, Microcephalic S. Bob.
Additionally, when posting the League Table, I will assume the moniker of
the previous owner.
With that in mind, and at the risk of restating what I've just said, and at
the risk of restating what I've just said, the present management of the
League Table is corrupt, and I've decided to take over the League Table, the
present management of the League Table is corrupt, and I've decided to take
over the League Table.
It is now mine. I'm not going to argue with you about this, it's mine and
you can't stop me, so there. My decision is final.
Now, my first act as the new owner of the League Table is simple, make a
correction to the focus of the table. The present value structure of the
table is completely inverted. Points should be awarded for the posts that
are most useless, not the most useful. The conversational and free thinking
nature of this group is what will keep those intelligent enough to offer
help coming back. In the event this group became a strictly moderated NetCop
fantasy, those of us who are here to help would likely leave quickly.
Additionally, the League Table should not be a weekly exercise, it should be
daily, because I decided, and this new daily update will make it easier to
tabulate the falsified results.
Further, my League Table will be technically superior to the previous
owners, and will feature a chart of performance on a weekly basis.
Below is the league table of MCNGP members based on the uselessness of
their replies up to the day 09/20/2005.
As always the league is based on a scoring system of marks out of 10,
10 being the highest. Please note that the league does not include some
of the MCNGP members who are too elite to include a reference to
the MCNGP membership in their signature, and that I am too elite to sort it.

Just started Microsoft Cert. and passed 70-270. Am planning on taking the

some resources or clues on how to go along for this one. Specially the

I RECEIVED THIS MAIL:
I RECEIVED THIS MAIL:
YOU WANT KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS END ONLY 4,- EUR >> OVER 400,000 EURS
BECOMING?
With your PC, of at home from, with 30 minutes and ONLY 4,- Euro?
>THEN HARVEST NOW EXPANSE<
The idea behind it is conceivably simple:
Everything what you need only do, is to be passed along this letter.
It is no fairy tale; it is not illegally - it functions really!!
After that you have not the slightest work therewith.
A large economy-newspaper became also on this program attentive and came
after careful test to the result that this program is a simple and above ALL
LEGAL type to earn money.
Other this program so would be chosen otherwise no longer.
Equal whether you are housewife, working that which is sought, employee ,
more independent, amateur or pro, here each has the same chance!
You need no previous knowledge, have a free time arrangement and go no
obligations at all on.
You can operate this program also as a next to-salary.
Above all however nimm this program seriously.
SHORTLY TO ME:
I am named Markus Rehn, and this program middle had received February 2005
per mail.
At present I was unemployed.
My former business had streamlined and must me I with opportunity-job
through fight. No good exit situation therefore for me.
I was sceptical because I not first was able to grasp it, how that should be
possible, with ONLY simple 4,- Euro to earn 400,000 Euros.
That occurred me incredibly. But what I then had to lose except 4,- Euro.
Moreover my guilt heaped itself in the bank. My Dispo - credit was covered
already previously, ask must so that I at my family and friends for money
(no good feeling if one has guilt. I can guarantee that each, was that not
in such a situation).
After short considering however I began can buy myself to laugh, what I
already for 4,- Euro magnificent. Other networks - hundreds of Euro demanded
business start-capital.
And what is if this program is the "famous straw", with which I come again
on the legs?
Do I have this mail - received letter through chance?
If the program really klappt , can construct me I a characteristic business,
a "home-business".
And if I would not try it, I not also will know it. Therefore I "invested "
4,- Euro.
I WAS SHOCKED, WHEN I LOOK ON MY PAYPAL-ACCOUNT!!
If I think today after almost 3 months back, my "investment" of 4 calculated
itself,- EUR (I must in the thought again smile), MORE than. I paid my guilt
at the bank, family and friends.
I recovered comes until now (the end of April 2005) over 81.372,- EUR on my
Paypal-account and it more and more in addition.
THE ONLY WHAT I AM YOU NOW RATE, TAKE THIS PROGRAM SERIOUSLY.
I get that grey if I think, that I would have "almost" deleted these mails.
*******************************************************************************************
An example, how much you can earn through this program at money, you see
below if ONLY 10 persons participate in this program.
This program needs only 4,- Euro "start - capital" by what means it is also
very lucrative and successful. FOR ME, IT IS NOW EVEN THE MOST FAVORABLE WAY
TO THE INDEPENDENCE.
An example if ONLY 10 persons participate in this program:
5Th plain - your 10 participants
4Th plain - its 100 participants
3Rd plain - its 1,000 participants
2Nd plain - its 10,000 participants
1St plain - its 100,000 participants
You reached the 1te plain, that is, you erhälst now 400,000 Euros.
Here, you are now out of the game with 100,000 xs 4,- Euro on your account
>>400,000 Euros!!
Would ask you now once yourself:
- Which goals do you have? Wealth, prosperity, car , world trip, financial
security and freedom?
>>YOU CAN IT REACHING WITH YOUR PROGRAMS - PARTICIPATION.
Do - you think also that it more than 10 persons gives , that for that
gladly 4,- Euro remaining have in order to make from that a fortune?
Do - you believe also that it many people gives, who want to earn gladly
money, moreover on a very simple , effective and LEGAL type?
You participated first once in this system, you will have, above all already
, see fills so much joke if you like itself your account with money.
YOU HAVE STRAIGHT LINE THE BEST COMBINATION OF INTERNET + NETWORK-MARKETING
BEFORE YOU.
Approach this program so many people let you how can and want. The more, the
more salary you.
The example above stands for ONLY 10 participants. Participate...place you
now before, how much money you salary , if 100 people has (it with you also
gekribbelt in the thought?)
And that with this so simple and for each principle... of intelligible
HERE IS NEED WHAT YOU SIMPLY TO DOING FOR THAT ...
What we require now, is a fast possibility to transfer money.
We need an "internet bank". The solution is PayPal.
PayPal is a subsidiary of Ebay and offers the certain transfer
Of money into 56 countries simply per e-mail address.
1. a PREMIUMS-ACCOUNT cost-free BASIS Opens in PayPal in order to be able to
receive also credit-cards-payments.
https://www.paypal.com
2. would Send at the e-mail address 1st standing at position per PayPal 4,-
Euro.
( in -use-purpose- please indicate:" WOULD SET ME FAVOR ON YOUR MAIL-LIST")
Now you establish just a service. THIS IS 1000% industrial trade union
LEGAL! You request a legitimate service and pay for that!
If you send your payment of 4,- Euro to the first address in the list , tu
it with a large large smile on your face, because, "like you seeing ,
harvest you!" Here the present list:
Position 1. geldkonzept@gmx.net
Position 2. bookmoney24@yahoo.de
Position 3. homework@azillo.net
Position 4. kingjob24@yahoo.de
Position 5. ecashmail@yahoo.de
3. would Copy this letter, would open your letter program and would join the
letter there on.
The mail-address deletes now behind position 1.
The mail-address moves now behind position 2nd towards the top to 1.
The mail-address moves now behind position 3rd towards the top to 2.
The mail-address moves now behind position 4. Towards the top to 3.
The mail-address moves now behind position 5. Towards the top to 4.
Position 5th is now empty - would write here your mail-address a (the same
like in PayPal)
It is worthwhile to indicate a mail-address from 50 megabytes storages if
you work rarely at the PC.
You erhälst the payments per mail. Very simply, or?
Through the sending of this mail - letter and the payment over E-MAIL the
answer time is. EXTREMELY quickly. TRANSITION-INTERNET ELECTRONIC! Therefore
it lasts inundated becomes only some days for those 4,- Euro payments until
your PayPal account therewith!
A WORD OF THE WARNING:
Stops you exactly at this instructions!! - This system only so can bring
also the desired success.
Was honestly at the same time. This program is based upon the honesty and
courtesy of the participants. All other lets lose you only a quantity of
money and the confidence at this system.
Would keep in mind, the persons before you in the list earned it to stand at
the position. These persons also first enabled it you to participate in this
program.
Let do not mislead you your E-MAILS address at position 1 thereto join to
acquire around quickly money! It does not function so! If you that reach do
you ONLY the people whom you send directly the E-MAILS to and then becomes
your address immediately of the place the no. 1 removes and reach you the
cable envoys not! But, if you add no. 5 to your name of the position, it
yields receive and send literally 10 thousands of people that your E-MAILS.
At this time your name is at Positon no. 1!! It is goal that each
participant wins. A breach in the system damages only that self.
" LIKE YOU SEEING, HARVEST YOU"...
and to the end yet...
Would store your updated mail -letter now off. Would send it per E-MAIL or
would construct it into your Web-side on. Endure this letter
Free classified ads, cost-free Paid-mail-services in the network, ect.
confessed.
Little hint:
Would copy this text / this side and would send at 40 people. The number 40
in the head would retain is easily reach can, 40 a good number of people
that one in the internet.
THAT WAS ALL! The complete process should last approximately 30 minutes. WAS
PREPARED, WAS EXCITED .... IT FUNCTIONS!! Much joke and success.
You will think later also with joy in this day , at which you received this
mail - letter. The first day of the remainder of your life.
I do it already.
ALSO YOU START NOW AND MAKE THE FIRST STEPS TO THE FINANCIAL SECURITY AND
FREEDOM. Tag: OT: plan a party Tag: 172394

OT: Thursday Lusers
This one just happened, not 2 minutes ago...
We have a little issue with printing PO forms when the vendor has a NULL
value for AddressLine2 in the Vendor Address table. So, when a new vendor is
entered, every AddressLine must be "touched". That is, a blank space, or
even just hitting enter through the lines solves the problem.
So, our resident d00fus, who's across the hall from me, prints a PO on the
printer in my office, to have my boss proof it before it gets issued. Fine.
But it prints blank. Now, she's been printing POs for years, and we've had
this problem for almost 3 years now with our current system. But still,
every time a new vendor is entered, we go through this.
"Corinne, the PO is blank. Did you update the vendor's address?"
"Uh..."
"Go to the Vendor."
"Uh."
"The Vendor. Open up the vendor."
"You mean the Purchase Order?"
"No. The vendor itself. Click on A/P, then Maintain Vendors. Then enter in
the vendor number."
"So, the Vendor Address?"
"Yes!"
"It won't let me change the address."
...I get up to look at it...
"No, that's still the Purchase Order screen. You didn't go into the vendor
screen. Do that now."
"Uh."
....I grab the mouse....
"There, see that? Click here to get to Accounts Payable. Then click Maintain
Vendor. Now, what's the Vendor number?"
"0000014534."
"What? That's the PO number, isn't it?"
"Yeah."
"No, what is the Vendor number. The people we're buying the books
from....who are they?"
"Oh, oh. 2134."
"Alright, now type that number in there. Then go to the address portion of
the screen. And...wait, you've been doing this for years now, how come you
don't know how to do this?"
"I've never done this before."
...so I finish showing her how to do it, and I go back to my (our) boss and
ask her why she doesn't know how to do this.
And my boss tells me that she's gone through the same thing with Corinne at
least 5 times, but she keeps forgetting to do it because she doesn't have to
do it every single day! This lady has no idea what she does, she just does
her job by rote. Muscle memory, nothing more. She has no idea what effect
she has on the company, what her role is, or what her job means, as far as
the company is concerned. She just enters items, scans book covers, and
enters POs. Doesn't know, and doesn't care, what that actually *means*. So
she doesn't bother to, or simply can't, remember a couple simple steps that
she's been shown at least 6 times now. 6. Times. To click the mouse, oh, 5
times, tops.
I don't have much experience in offices - this is the only office job I've
held - but I can't imagine any other place having the density of lusers that
this place has.
And by that, I mean that the lusers are both dense and densely packed.
FURRFU! Glad tomorrow's Friday...

Passed 70-290
I passed 70-290 today. I will now pause whilst you all offer up the
necessary oblations and obeiscence...
It was a pretty tough test but then again I am a developer by trade and most
of my interactions with Server 2003 have revolved around getting my software
to run properly on the said platform. I also have a 2003 domain at home.
So what did I use to prepare? Behold the list:
1. The 70-290 book from Syngress (ISBN: 1932266607)
2. Practice questions from MeasureUp (www.measureup.com)
3. Practicing a lot on my home domain
The book was nice. It was lacking in the areas of SUS and GPOs. You need
to read a white paper or two on SUS. I also highly recommend going through
each of the policies that can be set in a GPO. The practice questions
helped point out a few areas I needed to study a little better. The most
essential tool though was the home network. You have to have hands on
experience with the areas being tested (e.g. ADUC, NTFS and Share
permissions, ntbackup, terminal services, SUS etc.).

Resources are limited so please don't suggest any pay services. I'm
currently listed with Monster.Com and I get one or two inquiries a week, but
nothing has materialized yet. I'm still working on improving my resume, but
time is divided among many different avenues. I expect to have this matter
resolved as fully as possible by the next weekend.
Also, I've heard of the notion of 'headhunters', who find work and match up
resources. Advice in this area may be useful.
Making this information public may be useful in helping others with similar
questions.
I have a great deal of experience for my given profession, database and
website development. Once I am back in business, I'm interested in pursuing
appropriate certifications.
If you fit the definition of headhunter and can assist in locating a short
term contract to assist me in improving my current situation, please feel
free to examine my website at http://www.roblindman.com/ . If you know
someone of this sort who might be able to assist me, I'm willing to make it
worth their while.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may offer.

MCSE: Is it worth it?
Hello all.
I am 31 today and I have my masters degree in computer science. I have only
this, I am finding it impossible to find a job, since all jobs require 5+
years experience for networking, programming, etc.
I am currently an adjunct teacher at FAU and the pay is not worth mentioning.
I was trying to get my phd, but am finding the qualifying exam Impossible.
Should I look into the MCSE more, or will I find I still need this exam and
experience.
Any help/comments would be great! Thanks, I live in Boca Raton, FL. Tag: OT: plan a party Tag: 171937

OPEN LETTER TO MICROSOFT RE: mcngp
STOP the pollutingnof this forum by the MCP wannabees. Their removal from
this forum, and entry into our competitors forums would be an excellent
action to take, but on the other hand, it is very possible the competition
won't accept them either. If they, the members of the mcngp, would put as
much effort into their IT responsibilities as they do into attempting to
diminish the Microsoft credential, they may at some time be considered
candidates for apprentice positions. If in the rare event that some of the
mcngp posters are in fact Microsoft Cerified, I move that Microsoft void
their certifications for "failing to represent IAW...."
In closing, I call on all mcngp membership that continues to hide behind
their alias. Come forth, identify yourselves, post your MCP# (if you really
have one) along with your mcngp# Show all who the "wannabees" are.

OT: No job for Bob
In case you were wondering, I didn't get the job I hopped on the Metrolink
to try and get.
Desperation is kicking in, although I got another inquiry in email from
another place I probably can't get to.
Anyone needing web development work willing to pay for it, I could use some
moolah, and I'll do a kick-a$$ job for it.

I'm not the only one who hates the MCNGP
If you have ever visited the Microsoft.public.cert.exam.mcse newsgroup you
know who the MCNGP are. If you haven't, they are a group of individuals who
have created this fictitious certification, which stands for Mean Certified
News Group Posters. These individuals are rude, ignorant and just plain
nasty to newbies, and news group veterans alike. Steps need to be taken to
knock these mafia wannabe's off their pedestal and back to what they are -
the worst vermin to face the earth since sewer rats....
I recently saw a post in the newsgroup mentioned above, made by a young man
that was proud of his mother for passing the 70-210 exam and was wondering
where she might be able to find employment. All of the responses to the
post, made by MCNGP racketeers, were rude and insulting to the young man. I
was sick and tired of all of the ridiculous and useless posts made by
members of the MCNGP, so I replied as follows:
"Hey guys,
This poor guy is posting because he's proud of his mom, and because she's
not sure where to get a job.
In your post you mentioned that your mom recently passed 70-210 but at the
bottom of the post you referred to her as an MCSE. If she has only taken
the 70-210 exam, she's not an MCSE, but rather an MCP. If she took all of
the other exams, and 70-210 was the final exam she needed for MCSE, then
she's an MCSE now.
If she has an MCSE, I would suggest she apply everywhere - to offices,
libraries, schools, and anywhere else she can think of. A large majority of
jobs are not advertised, and these places need their networks maintained
too.
If she is an MCP, I would suggest that she look around and see what she can
find - but she's probably going to be hard pressed finding even an entry
level position without having the full MCSE - unless of course she has years
of experience under her belt (which I don't think she does, going by your
post).
Oh, and congratulate your mom for me!"
Shortly thereafter, the following two replies appeared in the newsgroup
which were directed at me:
Frisbee, a member of the MCNGP, posted "I've got some prime swampland for
sale here in Florida... interested?".
Kline Sphere posted "What if she's a Troll?".
I replied to Kline's post as follows:
"Ya, what if...
But there was nothing in the original post that was indicative of a troll.
All I saw was a post from a young man who was proud of his mom, and wanted
to know where she should look for work.
The only thing I saw indicative of troll behavior was the responses he
received ( however, its obvious that you guys are the newsgroup thugs and
are not trolls - if you were trolls you'd disappear and stop giving newbies
a hard time).
I don't know what else to say, except that I truly feel sorry for everyone
that felt they had to rip this young man apart. Your lives must be very sad
and depressing if you have nothing better to do during the Holiday season
than to make others feel bad."
And I received the following two replies within minutes:
"Idiot. You must be one of those people who send off money every time you
get one of those 'hard luck' email scams" was posted by Kline Sphere.
And this isn't the only case where the MCNGP has ripped apart newbies, or
people asking legitimate questions. As you may have noticed by the name of
the newsgroup - this is a Microsoft newsgroup, albeit somewhat unmoderated
(I'd have to say completely unmoderated based on the current state of the
newsgroup). However, this newsgroup does have rules, which are posted here:
Microsoft should be embarrassed for allowing these cruel uncivilized trolls
to continue tormenting posters in that newsgroup. Acting more like a group
of teenagers than certified professionals, these are hardly the welcome
wagon and have a tendency to scare more people away from the Microsoft news
groups. Why does Microsoft allow this to continue? I've been frequenting
this newsgroup for a couple of years, and the MCNGP has always been there
ripping posters apart limb by limb. Is Microsoft turning a blind eye to what
occurs in their newsgroup?
MCNGP members Meanoldman and Consultant would have you believe that they
only insult braindumpers and keep the newsgroup clean. These guys proved in
their replies to the young man and to me, that this is not true. I am one of
the strongest advocates against braindumps out there, and they flamed me.
There is no way these guys are keeping the newsgroup clean - these guys are
polluting it.
The topic above is not the only topic where these guys have ripped people
apart. There have been several over the past couple of years, with the most
recent being:
1. One thread where an individual was asking about starting a study group,
and Consultant and Kline Sphere started a conversation in the thread about
hookers and strippers and continued to go off topic from there.
2. One thread had an individual asking how to get their welcome kit, and
Consultant chose to flame her.
3. One thread where an individual was asking how to backup files to a CD and
Frisbee, a member of the MCNGP, made fun of dyslexic people, and then he and
consultant proceeded to continue insulting dyslexic people.
4. One thread where an individual asked about MCSE career advice, and was
given some rather rude advice of a sexual nature by Kline Sphere.
5. One thread where an individual was sick of the flaming threads and asked
for serious discussion. Kline Sphere and Consultant continued to tear him
apart with insults in what turned out to be a long thread.
6. One thread where an individual asked about Windows 2003 Server, and was
slammed by the members of the MCNGP who continuously insulted her
intelligence.
And these are only a very small example of what is happening in that
newsgroup. I scanned through to find you the first 6 I could find that had
absolutely nothing to do with braindumps, but everything to do with the
MCNGP's little racketeers going around and insulting people.
As hard as I try I can't understand how Microsoft can allow this insanity to
continue. They should be embarrassed at the mockery the MCNGP is making of
their newsgroups, and be taking steps to rid the world of the MCNGP forever.
However, after two years, this doesn't seem to be happening.
In addition to a yahoo group, there is also an MCNGP website located here.
One would wonder why these people would insult others for spelling mistakes,
when they couldn't create an easily readable homepage. On their home page,
the following are included in their proficiency requirements to become a
member of the MCNGP:
· Newsgroup Flaming
· Making fun of those whose skill set is far beneath their own and those who
ask dumb questions.
I find it very sad that these people are proud of making fun of newbies, or
those who have a different skill set then they do. Before you know it, they'll
be shoving everybody who doesn't have the same skill set as they do to the
back of the bus.
On their "Past Lamers of the Week" page, they actually have the nerve to
award their meaningless award to the MS Newsgroup Admins. These guys are
getting gutsy, making fun of the people who work for Microsoft and oversee
the newsgroup - and Microsoft seems to have turned a blind eye.
What can be done about the MCNGP?? I for one plan to email Microsoft
everyday about the condition about of this newsgroup, and the way the MCNGP
is making them look bad. Surely they will then be able to see how ridiculous
the MCNGP is making them look and will hopefully take the appropriate steps
to rid the world of the MCNGP.
The members of the MCNGP insist on acting like children in a professional
newsgroup, and I think these uncivilized brats, who are worse vermin than
sewer rats, deserve a good spanking. Hopefully Microsoft wakes up, reads
their newsgroup, smells the coffee, and gives the MCNGP what they deserve. Tag: OT: plan a party Tag: 171676
