    My gut's not in a beer mood, so I'll have to take a rain check. Congratulations on this major accomplishment, mate. Well done. :biggrin

    Well done Sparky - you definitely deserve it - hope you enjoyed the beers!

    Just out of interest - how long did it take you to go from the 70-290 up to MCSE? It's just that you mentioned it in an earlier post.

    Passed the 70-290 back in August 2006 and then passed the 291, 282, 293, and 294 in a year. Started the 297 in August 2007 but failed it once and then had to cancel twice, finally passed it in May 2008. 8)

    Cheers for that - was interested myself but also to show others that even with experience (as I know you have as you've demonstrated many times here) it can still take some time.

    Well done again mate 8)

    Yup, it does take time and I was working loooooong hours so that didn’t help either. I don’t think anyone really knows how much work is involved to pass the MCSE until you start doing it yourself, I know I didn’t! :biggrin

    Also it is difficult to measure someone’s commercial experience and how useful it will be towards the MCSE. For example I know some guys who have been working in IT for 10 years who haven’t even installed a domain controller. :eek:

    I guess if someone asks “how long to pass the MCSE” then there isn’t a definite answer that can be given. 8)

    Congrats, bro, on the title -- it was a huge relief when I finally hit mine. Although, I have to say, your experience speaks volumes past what that little 4-letter acronym does.

    Just catching up on some posts....

    Sparks,

    If anyone deserves MCSE status, it's you. Well done - all your hard work paid off.

    Hope your head isn't too bad!

    The cert arrived yesterday (woo hoo!) so to celebrate I went into town for a few beers, any excuse for a drink! :alc

    The wife has just pointed out that Bill Gates signature looks like Bill Mates, or should that be Bill No-Mates! :biggrin
