    Setting up multiple user profiles and domains

    Thank you so much! I think the "allow SEND AS function" is going to be perfect for us. I will have to do some searching on it...! Cassie

    Setting up multiple user profiles and domains

    Hello everyone. First of all, please forgive me. I should NOT even be in this forum - I know nothing about Exchange Server 2003. But I have a problem - and if any of you kind people can point me in the right direction I will be so very grateful. At our company we have three different...

    starting to study for MCSD...is it a lost cause with MCSD.NET coming?

    Keith, All is not lost! Some of the .NET exams will be out in their beta versions soon. You can only take the beta exams if MS warrant you are an appropriate candidate. MS have said that the new .NET architecture exam (a core exam) won't be available until 2003. Sooo, it's gonna be quite a...

    Time for a New Performance-Based MCSE Cert Test??

    I don't see why Microsoft would be interested in reducing the number of professionals certified on their products, however I admit that it would be a likely SIDE EFFECT of making the certification more hands-on and therefore (potentially) harder. I think a real-world lab-type exam is a great...

    MCDBA - How to get started

    Hi BeckahC, You can check out the MCDBA exams at this url: http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/mcp/mcdba/requirements.asp The approach that I took to passing the 70-228 and 70-229 exams was to get the list of skills to be tested from the microsoft web site for each exam, and then use this as a...

    MCSE EXAM

    Hi Yobabyo, It's great that you have lots of experience and that you are now looking to capitalise on that by getting a certification to prove your knowledge to potential employers. Have you checked out the information for MCSE hopefuls on Microsoft's web site at...

    MCSE CERTIFICATION EXAM

    Hello, I don't know of a web site listing what you require, but if you are trying to find out whether there is a test centre in a particular country, you could try going to Prometric's Test Centre Locator at http://www.2test.com/tcl/ZipCode.jsp?pts=985031488864 ... and selecting the country...

    how to study for an MCP exam

    Hi teknoguy, In my experience (MCSE, MCSD and MCDBA) sometimes you can have a reasonably good understanding of the Microsoft Official Curriculum and yet still get marginal marks on pre-tests because you have not yet had enough exposure to HOW the knowledge is tested in the exam situation. Just...

    Price of MCSE

    Hi Bes, First of all, congratulations on having the drive, ambition and self-discipline to take classes and self-train. That on its own is a good set of attributes to impress an employer with. What you rightly say you need next is some commercial experience to put on your CV. So here are some...

    SQL Server 2000 Reference Books

    I would buy: Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming by Wrox (ISBN: 1861004486) - Good for both the Admin and DB Design material! MCSE SQL Server 2000 Database Design Exam Cram by Coriolis (ISBN: 1588800342) MCSE SQL 2000 Administration Exam Cram by Coriolis (ISBN: 1588800334) I've...

    Price of MCSE

    IMHO, either on-the-job experience plus self study, or the "Type 2" bootcamp described above, are both great ways to get your MCSE. I believe that some people can also do it purely by self study if you are motivated and disciplined and can get the resources at home i.e. hardware and...

    ...MCSD Certification is no joke!

    Kumrabai, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. With 2 years VB experience and an MCSD plus SQL 7, you should be a hot choice for employers. Where are you based, USA? I am in the UK and here you would certainly have a lot of jobs to choose from. If you have been sending off your resume...

    MCSD Exams (Which one to take first?)

    Hi sweetleaf (that's cute!), I took the VB desktop and distributed and found them about the same in difficulty, probably the desktop slightly easier. It really depends on the individual's skills and experience. Cassie www.ExamsAreEasy.com ???????????????????????? You don't need questions...

    Exam 70-228 SQL Server 200 Administration

    I'm surprised to hear that the STS tests are closer than Transcender to the real exam, although not having used STS for this particular test, I can't comment. My main tools in preparing for this exam were Transcender (beta version) and Books On Line (very heavily). I found Transcender very...
