First MCSA/MCSE 2003 Core Exams To Beta in June


5/21/2003 -- Microsoft's certification group has announced simultaneous beta test dates for two new core exams on the MCSA/MCSE for Windows Server 2003 tracks.

Exams 70-290: Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment and 70-291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure will both be beta tested June 4 through 15. The exams will be numbered 71-290 and 71-290, respectively.

Passing both 70-290 and 70-291 exams satisfies the Core: Network Systems portion of the MCSA on Windows Server 2003 track, and two of the four required for the Core: Network Systems portion of the MCSE on Windows Server 2003.

Microsoft Beta exams are free but typically only offered to qualified subscribers of Microsoft's MCP Newsflash; to find out how to become a beta tester, go here.

5/24/03: Anonymous says: My company has a policy that we make sure we never select people straight from school (even with certification), even at 21yrs they prefer to spend most of their time talking to their girlfriends on the phones for hours or putting dye in their hair plus taking drugs and coming in to work still drunk from the night before, so unprofessional. Plenty of jobs at MacDonalds for that crowd. We only make exceptions to IT graduates from well known universities who have developed character and a real sense of self worth and purpose in the community that they are serving. Also we don't even look at the unemployed, if you can't get a job in the first place then don't even attempt to knock on our door.
5/24/03: DUMP-HUNTER from Australia says: Crikey, I checked out Kazaar and edonkey, plenty of braindumps there for everyone to download for free, so stop fighting and arguing about it. Listen mate I'm sick of the arguing, if you don't want to use dumps then just shut-up and let the rest of us get on with it, stone the crows and feed the crocs.
5/24/03: Moschino from Turkey says: So, what is the problem if someone try to prove his knowledge. Come on guys, you behave like every certified are paper-MCSE.If you don't like MCSEs or other certification program that' s your problem. Then don't visit "certcities". I am happy with my certification.Braindumps are not my problems,paper-MCSEs may think, I know myself, my knowledgebase.
5/24/03: Anonymous says: Right on last two posters, nice posts! If you don't like it, then leave it. It's not your choice whether braindumps exist or not, you know that you don't have control over those so stop bitching, just accept it that they're out there and will never stop. Companies have their own way to filter the bad from good ones and if they can't, they should review their HR department or IT managers. BTW, using dumps doesn't ALWAYS mean that one completely doesn't know anything of the subject, and because one is using dumps when taking exams doesn't mean he'll fail company's qualification or can't perform well on the job. Some people just don't wish to sit for CCNA 5 times and pay $625 in total to Cisco because he/she missed only 1 question and ended up scoring 847 while passing score is 849, that's plain ridiculuous. Missing one question doesn't mean one doesn't know CCNA stuff and that happens from time to time that people failed by 1 questions for a number of times...if you're loaded, you have huge extra financial recources to donate to Cisco and other vendors, go ahead and do it but many other people work their a$$ off with their sweat to earn every single dollar in their wallet.
5/25/03: Anonymous says: Well, that's the difference between a pile of certs and a college degree (a whopping BIG difference). I'm starting to see WHY degrees carry so much more weight in the field rather than a pile of certs which need to be re-done every 3 years or so. As I posted some time ago, I would prefer that employers quit using insane job requirements to fill a given position. How about just looking at and verifying a person's resume (news flash, most firms don't even check job history or education anymore, due to the fact it's too much of a burden).
5/25/03: Anonymous says: OK so you're saying that degree and some certs is enough, as long as we have a college degree? It should be true, I agree, since it ain't easy to obtain 4yr college degree and certs and it requires a lot of efforts and money. But I bet ya the next person or two will shout "experience!". And if we have to have college degree, pile of certs, and 5yr experience to get a job, no wonder unemployment increased...how about those hundreds of thousands of fresh college/university graduates who are looking for job? How many of them have certs? And more, how many of them have years of experience? Most only have their hard earned 4yr degree. Are they just designated unemployed then??? So what good is a college degree for them now without certs, or even job experience???

5/26/03: Anonymous says: I wish people would understand what college is really about, which is getting a(n) education. It's NOT for obtaining employment (blame HR departments and clueless management for this one folks). In the old days, we used to have something called on-the-job training, where a person would acquire the skills for a field of employment while going to school (these days I think it's called a internship). Most IT jobs do not require a college degree (that's been proven on more than a few occasions). These positions could be filled with workers trained by a firm through internships, etc. If they finish a degree, more power to them, but as I see it, motivation and attitude will get you farther than a gazillion pieces of framed paper (I should talk, I have a dozen pieces of framed paper at home)...
5/27/03: Anonymous says: You need motivation and a positive attitude to legitimately earn all of that "framed paper", you idiot. They don't hand out college degrees (not of the "American University" - earn degree in two weeks variety) to anyone, it generally takes 120+ college credit hours to get one.
5/27/03: aj from chicago says: I feel Microsoft should have any entry level admin and advanced level. The entry level must remain same no matter what versions of software it realises and advanced level should go with version number. This will reduce our pain...other wise by the time we complete one certification , the next one will be ready. Funnyly Microsoft does not have any upgrade exam also...M$
