Hi
Ok ive been pondering on this idea that i could use my server that currently runs WHS to run server 2008. I would need to upgrade the ram to 4GB to run standard. Im just thinking once ive done my MCITP either to get some server experience or sql? Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

 

No reason just thought it was 4 lol. i know the server will run because i bought another and installed server 08 for a customer.
Im quite interested in active directory although no experience. Do i need more than one server to play with exchange, sql, active directory?
Thanks
Chris

 

Thanks for your responce.
Ive not really touched on either subject as been doing client side.
I think active directory would be my way forward although im open to options. Which do you think would be best. If i learn more about server side would it make exchange and sql easyer to learn?
Still young and dont really know which route to go down. Want to learn everything tbh.

Hi,
Thats good advice sort of what i was expecting. I know people will still use 2003 for a long while but how long will microsoft keep the certs going? will i have enough time to do all of them? It just so happens my uncle had the big boxset of press books. hes a devoloper and didnt need them so i got them. So i could do just lacking in confidence lol
Thanks
Chris

 

Hi
Thanks again.
Bit confused tho ive got mcse press book set. I want to do 70-623 first, just waiting for the press book to arrive. Cant complain as i got it off amazon for £5.00 new just with a black mark on cover. Cant complain at that can you? lol

MCSE is seven exams. my one i could use for either client or elective.
mcsa is 4 exams? So 3 to go lol.
I think MCSE is a bit out of my league at the moment. Would want to get a job whilst doing this.
I remember so many training offers about these 2. one was a distance learning course for 3 grand. i told him to jog on lol. The other was firebrand for A+ or MCDST told me that self study was pointless and i wouldnt do it lol.

Im so eager to get going learning. i wish they devoloped a hard drive that you plug in to your brain. OR we could stay awake and still learn for 24 hours a day lol.

So you reckon the MCSA route after MCITP Consumer.

Then its one or two exams from MCSA to vista.
The it academy I have got a interview with on wed offer MCDST & A+ NVQ LVL 3 ITP N+ in 5 months all for free. only problem is I'm not going to have much time in September onwards so hoping to get MCITP Consumer Done before then. Realisticly speaking i think its doable because had 2 weeks of reading 2 chapters a night and playing around with vista then bought some measure up tests. When i get the book which im hoping will be tomorrow now will book exam for a months time.
Also can you choose your MCSA seciallity later? security sounds good as i would love to get in to the Network security at some point. bet its pretty intense.
Thanks
Chris
