Registration open till October 25th for testing New Virtual Lab based Exam 70-113

posted on October 11, 2008

Microsoft has extended their offer to write the Microsoft exam 70-113: TS: Windows® Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring. This is the exam where you don’t get a score but it is for Microsoft Learning to test their deployment and for your trouble you will receive 3 three exam vouchers. I have written this exam and some words of advice, don’t arrive too early for the exam, you can’t start the exam until the time you selected. For example, I arrived at 8:45 and started my 9:00 exam. I had to sit and twiddle my thumbs until 9:00 while the counter counted down because the VM you run your test in
doesn’t get prepped until a few minutes before the exam. So don’t be like me, arrive a little early for your test but don’t start the exam until your allotted
time.

Normally I would say good luck, but in this case, there is no
score, so have fun. Below is the official text.

Hyper-V Server Released

posted on October 9, 2008

Was talking with a friend a few nights back about how to dual-boot between Vista and Windows Server 2008. He was having some troubles with it so I suggested instead of Dual-booting, he should try and use virtualization product as his host OS and run his Client OS’s on top of it. Dual-boot I think is best for his situation, but if he was having troubles, virtualization might be the trick. Now I don’t have much experience with the VMware product, but I know they have something that will do this and I also mentioned Microsoft is releasing something along the same lines. I had saw a blog post about it a while back, but nothing else. I told my friend I would look for the information and pass it along when I found something.

Last Wednesday, I noticed throughout the blogs I read that Microsoft released their product , Hyper-V Server. It was nice finding it in the RSS feeds, because I don’t have to go digging up the info for my friend.

From what I can tell, Microsoft’s product is basically like Windows 2008 Server Core without the option to add any roles except virtualization. You also need a Vista or another Server with a gui to manage the Hyper-V server. Depending on how many virtual machines you want to get going, you’re probably going to want to have loads of ram, good CPU’s and lots of hard disk space

To get information on Hyper-V Server, got Microsoft’s Hyper-V homepage at http://www.microsoft.com/servers/hyper-v-server/default.mspx
