Last night I was check replying to a email from Reed before shutting down my PC for the night, when I caught a glimpse of a new blog posting from Trika, I took quick look at it. Trika Blog basically says that the 70-402 Exam aka cert name MCITP: Operations Manager (I never did like that name) has been put on hold for now. Well that is sort of good news as of Friday morning I had 11 exams on my list to complete ASAP, 70-089, 294, 298, 400, 402, 624, 640, 642, 643, 646, and 647, maybe replace 649 for 640,2,3. Anyways I passed 294 yesterday so now I at 10 exams on my list and with the announcement of 402 being put on hold that drop me down to 9 exams left! But Trika, didn’t stop with the announcement of 402, she also announce that 70-652 TS: Windows Server Virtualization, Configuration is going into beta any day and that a new exam 70-403 might be created for Virtual Machine Manager, so Now I’m back to 11 Exams on my list. I hope to try and book the beta exam for 70-652. So now I’m back where I started at 11 Exam on my list! Based on Reed’s advice I hope to be down to 10 very very soon. J One last thing she also announced was Live Meeting event on August 20th, (see below for detail) I will be there for sure. I kind of wish I was at TechEd to talk to her directly but Who haws time for it? System Center and Virtualization Certifications · August 20, 2008 at 7:30 A.M. Pacific Time (What time is this in my region?) · August 20, 2008 at 5:00 P.M. Pacific Time (What time is this in my region?) Or come to my session with Jim at TechEd on Friday, the 13th** of June (LUN59). We'll be so reckless and devil-may-care--so transparent--you won't know what hit you. To see the full test from Trika Blog. http://blogs.msdn.com/trika/archive/2008/05/29/certification-s-building-7.aspx

With much relief I passed this exam today! My plan was to complete my MCSE by passing 70-298, however some contract work has come up and to make life easier I need to pass 70-624. So it look like will jump 624 ahead of 298 of now. I'm still on track to pass one exam each month! So far since December I have passed 70-401, 70-620, 70-622, 70-290, 70-291, 70-293 and 70-294 (today). If you have any tips for 624 let me know. :-) BDD and Office deployment here I come!

Ruth's post to two main blogs http://blogs.technet.com/CdnITManagers/ and http://blogs.technet.com/canitpro/
