New Microsoft Press Book : MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-652): Configuring Windows Server Virtualization

posted on July 8, 2009

If you are planning on writing the Microsoft Certification Exam for 70-652: Configuring Windows Server Virtualization, Microsoft Press has released a self-paced training kit. The Microsoft press books are always well written and are of good quality. I have no doubt this one maintains the status quo. Here is a link to the Micorosft Press Self-Paced Training Kit. Chapters 6 & 8 are available for free, find them here.

MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-652): Configuring Windows Server Virtualization Book

I was planning on writing this exam over the summer, but with the baby looking like he maybe early, that might hold out until the fall. If I do wait, I might be interested in doing a self study group for this exam. Server Virtualization is something that comes up a lot and is probably a decent exam for a lot of people to write as a base. Virtualization is becoming more popular all the time and the certification exam would be a great asset to have.

Exam 70-646 – Preparations for My Next Exam

posted on February 6, 2009

I am preparing to start studying for my next Microsoft exam. The exam I am working on will be 70-646, PRO: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator. In my preparations, I am going to use the MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-646): Windows Server 2008 Administratorexam preparation book to study for the exam. I bought this book last fall from Amazon.ca, as with the OWSUG study groups, we always used the MS Press books and found them to be the best resource for subject material when preparing for the exam. I also find that its definitely less expensive to get my books from the online stores versus a physical brick and mortar store.

When I read the books, I find that writing out brief points about what is covered in each section helps me remember what I read. I will take my notes and put them up on my blog; probably post dating them so it works out that 2 chapters a week get posted to the site. My plan is to write the exam next Thursday, but I may move that date out another week if I don’t get a chance to get a good solid study in over this weekend.
