I actually started them in numerical order. After some quick scanning through the books, I found that the Pro Exams (647 and 663) were, just as Simon stated... comprehensive over the TS exams. Mark C.

I'm in the process of planning a Virtualization project and in doing research I cant seem to find a decent comparison of SAS vs iSCSI HBA. I am leaning towards Dell PowerVault MD3200 or MD3200i combined with 2 PowerEdge servers. I understand the MD3200 is direct connected to the servers and the...

Thanks kmcferrin. Mark C.

It's time... I've posted several threads on MS Certs in the past and have additional questions. I would have posted on previous threads, but they are marked closed. What order would you suggest I follow in my path to obtain both MCITP:EA and MCITP:EMA? I was considering the following; 70-680...

One of my end users was sending an email to one of our clients and started receiving the undeliverable error message below... I called the clients IT dept and they said they are receiving all our emails just fine... so I did some checking and cant figure out why their email server would produce...

Thanks again. I had the first interview. Dress code is business professional, so it will be long sleeve and tie, so I dont have to worry about it. thanks for the advice everyone. Mark C.

This information is great. My tattoos are not offensive in any way. I just wasn't sure how I should approach the issue. I'm fine with long sleeve during the interview (always SOP for me). I will ask about the dress code and if offered the job then go from there. If all else fails, I will...

ugh! I'm on the fence on this one... I think I will find out the details of the dress code and if it sounds like it's going to be an issue, I will disclose if need be. I just hope the manager looks at my skill set and what I bring to the table vs the fact that "I have visible tattoo's". Mark C.

I have an interview for a Sys Admin position for a locally-based bank next week and I need some advice on how to handle something. I don't know what the dress code requirements are, but I believe it to be business casual. I have tattoo's that cover the lower portion of my right arm and I not...

I'm not kidding about the once a week infection. However it's not on the same machine every week. I have a dozen off site pc's that I'm dealing with. I have the skills and the tools to remove them. My goal was to find another product (low cost or free) that is better at protecting from these...

@James - I figured as much, but had to ask. @goombawaho - I love your recommendations, but we all know how difficult it is to get a "typical-end-user" to be "cautious" when browsing the web. On paper it looks good, but in the real-world... just doesn't happen. @hawkdaddy - great point. I...

These new strains of infections are becoming quite troublesome. I run a mix of Symantec, MS Security Essentials, AVG and Nitro IPS and average at least one infection a week for the past several months. Anyone out there using a A/V solution that detects and prevents infections? Mark C.

Since you mentioned, I checked mxtoolbox website and found two things that might cause issues; * SMTP test for ip shows a warning; " Warning - Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner". * Also ip shows on a RBL at UCEPROTECTL2 Mark C.

I have a business partner based in Costa Rica and over the past month or so I have been having problems receiving emails (whether generated or a reply) to any user in my domain. The partner receives a "4.4.7 Delayed" warning message and then a few days later they will receive a " 4.4.7 Could...

Thanks, you all gave me some confirmation about the validity of an MBA... Just being wallpaper, etc. Looks like I need to give this a little more thought. Mark C.
