DlV1 (MTA 98-365 Server exam) Passed! DJV1 started.

DlV1 (MTA 98-365 Windows Server exam) passed with a 90%! The exam was fairly straight forward with questions that included basic SAN configurations, folder permissions, Active Directory and backup strategies. It also touched on Hyper-V, dynamic disks and RAID setups.

As with the previous test I took, it was only 36 questions and I was out of there in 20 minutes. I have completed all the classes in this term, and have 4 months left. So I will grab a class from my next term; it will be the last of my MTA exams, DJV1, (MTA 98-361 Software Development Fundamentals). I would like to knock it out within a couple weeks, but programming is not one of my strengths.

I suspect that my programming knowledge will vastly improve because my next 5 classes all deal with Java programming. After that I just have my technical writing and capstone. Almost there! Woot!

Hope all is well with everyone and thanks for reading!

All the best,

Stephen,

DHV1 (MTA 98-349) Passed!

DHV1 (MTA 98-349) Passed!

 

Yeah me! I am now a Microsoft Certified Professional! This is the first Microsoft test I have taken and proud to have earned the title MCP.

MTA (98-349) is OS fundamentals, given as I have been in I.T for 10 years; it was not as difficult as I had thought. 35-50 questions with an allotted time of 45 minutes. My test was 36 questions which I knocked out in 20 minutes. I had quite a few questions about RDP and disaster recovery scenarios, how to create system image, repair disk, etc.

I read quite a few of the schools forum on this test, and some students had 50 questions others 40 or so. Some were on GPO’s and file permissions, while others had more on upgrades and which version of Windows supported clean installs or upgrades.  It appears that Microsoft likes to keep you on your toes.

Next up is DIV1 (MTA 98-365) Windows Server administration. I would like to knock this one out in a couple of weeks, just like the previous test.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have 8 classes left until my degree. I have learned quite a bit and have enjoyed the journey.

Thanks for reading, and I will talk to you soon.

All the best,

Stephen.
