286!! I needed 300. I didn't feel too confident about this one as I've not used it in the wild for long enough.

Sat the course obviously which was great. Watched the Nuggets. Went through a lot of the resources on the SLOG and other peoples sites.

A friend of mine bought the Exam Cram book, has anyone read this? I used to like them for my MS studies because you used to get a free testing engine on CD that would put you through your paces.

I'm going to go away, give myself maybe 6 weeks. Rebuild my lab at home with the 60 day trial. Continue to work on it in work althought ATM I'm only patching hosts on top of your usual admin, nothing fancy with resource pools or HA etc. I need to go over the Blueprint again "Obviously".

Wish me luck, Jim

PS Whats the rush? I think the VCP-410 exam expires in Feb next year so I wanted it done and dusted TBH so I can decide if I'm good enough for the VCP-5 exam. You get 6 months grace before you have to sit a VCP-5 course if you passed the VCP-4

 

Thanks mate, this is it I'm feeling the pressure a little because as generous as my employers are, I can't see them paying for a version 5 course anytime soon after version 4.

I'll have a good root on your site tonight mate, I've been on it, thought it was excellent TBH but I haven't had a deeper look. Appreciate your help mate

 

To bad mate, however I know that you'll pass it next time

Thanks guys, I did rush into it. I'd like to say I'm going to take my time but with the VCP5 being released I need to get a move on.

Thanks very much for the comments on the book Scott, minor errors could cost me £130! I was emailing a business developer of GK's as I'm attending a Powershell course in September. Naturally I explained I'd been on one of GK's courses and you came up, as you do, and he mentioned that you are one of the few vExperts in the UK??!! I had no idea, I mean obviously you know your stuff to the nth degree but if that's true...... how lucky was I

 

Exam booked for mid December. I really need to nail this as my 2008 skills are slim and Citrix are even worse! All of which I need to be bad ass in work I'd better get a move on!

 

Ah cheers mate, just trying to keep up with you. Maybe if I take the VCP on a dinner date first then on the way home ask it does this rag smell of chloroform ...... I'll have a chance of smashing it.

Blueprint was my guide on what else to learn outside of the course but I found on the day there was just too much I didn't know about because as the trainers tell you, the course isn't enough. To be honest I can't remember, and couldn't say even if I did, exactly what subjects I had trouble with. I only just failed it but it was quite frustrating.

I didn't do mock questions which was a massive mistake as I usually get my hand in my pocket for a legit test engine. I'll be looking for one today, thanks for reminding me mate.

Giving myself 6-8 weeks to go over everything again. Get the lab book out from the course and practice in my lab if its not all gone past its sell by date by now

 

Howdy CF'ers. I'm back and needing some motivation to nail this VCP 4 so thought, where better than good old Certforums to help me get back into studying. Just reading my Scott Lowe VCP book now. Exam booked for the end of Feb! Already scared but think I've left myself enough time plus I've got a lot more hands on experience since my first attempt. Hopefully make the difference. Jim

 

ha ha that tickled me. Thought you'd of had your own farm by now mate! I need another server myself but I'm too scared to tell the other half another monstrosity will be getting dropped off ha ha

You know what you need don't ya bro..... nested hosts..... boom!

 

I have been thinking...... I could possibly get away with this..... although I can't help but fancy this version ha

 

Nice little setup there mate. Get one of those Micro's mate. Not fast but does the job. Don't speak to me about VUM man I finished patching this week..... took 2 months practically solid. Not all bad, I am made of 14ct gold now.
