Yes!


One more exam to go to complete the track for achieving the MCITP Enterprise Messaging Administrator exam track based on Exchange 2007.


You need to pass the following exams:


Prerequisite MCTS certification   
Exam 70-236: TS: Exchange Server 2007, Configuring
 
Professional Series exams  
Exam 70-237: PRO: Designing Messaging Solutions with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
Exam 70-238: PRO: Deploying Messaging Solutions with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007


I only need to find time to prepare for the 70-238 exam. Concerning the other exams I can tell you that the 70-236 exam has a lot of questions regarding the powershell scripting for Exchange and the 70-239 exam is all about where to put which Exchange roles.

I know, it is becoming a little bit boring, but I passed the 70-620 exam tuesday and got another MCTS in the pocket. I liked this exam because of the simulations. I had never seen these kind of questions before where you are presented with a desktop and are asked to either configure something on the system or troubleshoot something. The exam had 64 questions of which 5 simulations.

Yep, I did it again. I took the 070-649 exam yesterday, which was not that difficult, I must say. It had 44 Questions divided in 3 separate sections, covering the 3 MCTS exams that it awards you with when you pass it. So now I have received the following  3 MCTS certificates:





Next week, I am going for the 070-646 exam that will hopefully turn me into a MCITP Server Administrator. Now how cool is that [8-|] !

If you are reading this SharePoint blog, you are probably wondering about why I would need to be certified for IBM. Well to make a long story short, I had an opportunity to study the IBM product Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager v8.5 and took the corresponding exam. As a result, I can tell the world that I am IBM certified !!!
