Comparison between MCTS and CCDA
But getting a CCDA certification isn’t very easy; one has to put in a good amount of hard work to get this certification. This can be seen from number of people who writes the exams and the people who passes it as the pass percentage is very low. If one has the liking for technical subjects then he could try this examination. It would be advantageous in the exam, if the person attending the exam has prior work experience in this field. They would have had exposure in the field and would understand the concepts much quicker than others. The exam is filled with multiple choice questions and also requires the person to do activities such as drag and drop and also to build tree diagrams.
There are various simulations available which would help you to clear the MCTS examination which would earn you the CCDA certificate. Once a person obtains this certificate he would be mostly promoted in the organization to a higher position and it would fast track your development in the organization. This certification would be ideal for people who feel that they have been at the lower positions for too long and want to move up the organization’s chart. The exam is difficult to clear but with proper preparation and hard work one could always get over it.
I would like to share training resources regarding 70-272 and Cisco Certifications. These are highly recommended for IT certifications preparation.

An explanation of the Extended Support phase for Business & Developer products
Extended Support is the second phase of the Support Lifecycle for Business & Developer products. The key differences between the Mainstream Support phase and Extended Support phase are that the “no-charge” support options are no longer available and that we no longer provide new non-security hotfixes. This means that customers will need to open paid support cases (such as Premier, Pro or Pay Per Incident cases) to obtain support for their product. For those customers who require new non-security hotfixes during the Extended Support phase, a special program called Extended Hotfix Support (EHS) is available. I’ll save the detailed discussion about EHS for another posting.
One of the important things to note is that Extended Support is still a publicly supported phase. Many Premier and Pro customers who already open paid cases with Microsoft will notice little difference in the support that is provided in this phase. They will continue to be able to open paid cases, receive security updates, obtain support assistance from their Technical Account Manager, etc… In reality, few customers need Extended Hotfix Support unless they have a history of requesting or requiring non-security hotfixes.
Like the Mainstream Support phase, it is important to note that support is only provided at a supported service pack level.
The Extended Support phase is provided for a minimum of 5 years or 2 years after the second successor product is released, whichever is longer. This means that the Extended Support phase may be extended to longer than 5 years, if the second follow-on product release is delayed. The basic reasoning behind this policy is that we don’t want to completely end support for a product unless there are 2 newer versions of the product for customers to migrate to.
At the end of the Extended Support phase, Business & Developer products are no longer publicly supported. This means that there is no more paid support, no support assistance and no further security updates. Customers are highly encouraged to move a supported product as soon as possible.
Please tell us what you think! Does this better explain the Extended Support phase? What can we do better to explain this on our main site?

Microsoft fixes buggy patch for Windows Server 2008
As part of its routine Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft re-released patch MS10-024 for Windows Server 2008 and R2 that was itself causing problems. The revised patch was not mentioned in the company's heads-up alerts issued on Thursday. However, some users are claiming that the patch also breaks Windows Server 2000. Microsoft disagrees.
The Microsoft Security Response Center blog that detailed Patch Tuesday fixes mentions the revised patch:
"We also include one bulletin re-release, MS10-024, in this cycle. The re-release will address the issue previously noted in KB976323, in which the installation of the bulletin reset user-configured settings for SMTP servers on Windows Server 2008-based systems with Internet Information Services (IIS) installed. Users who have previously installed MS01-024 will not be offered the re-released update."
The original patch caused some servers to stop sending e-mails. Microsoft knew the patch broke SMTP when it issued it. Shortly after the patch was pushed out in April, users began reporting the problem to Microsoft's Windows Help forum. Users were flummoxed, saying Microsoft's description of the problem and the fix didn't work. The only workaround they could find for the important patch was to uninstall it, particularly for Windows 2000. Wrote one user identified as "peterhoa":
"... The SMTP server could send mail from ASP and ASP .Net applications but not from other applications that had to be authenticated by the server and it would no longer relay mail from external applications connecting to the SMTP server (eg remote outlook clients). It seemed to be an authentication issue. If I set the authentication method (from the Access tab on properties) to Anonymous I found it would send email correctly, but of course anonymous is not a solution. With both Basic authentication and Windows security packaged selected the SMTP server would not relay mail. The only solution I could find after spending hours on it was to uninstall KB976323. That immediately fixed the problem. ...
The SMTP settings were NOT reset. The server just would not send mail. If the settings were reset I could have simply set them again. This would have been very simple -- I understand what the settings should be. However the settings were not changed at all. The problem was that the patch PREVENTED THE SMTP SERVER ON WINDOWS 2000 FROM RELAYING MAIL."
So, as of today, for Windows Server 2008 customers, the patch works fine, Microsoft says. But for Windows Server 2000 customers who also reported the problem (and support for Windows 2000 had not ended at the time of these reports), Microsoft's official response is to deny the patch caused the problem. Here is what Scott Landry, Exchange Server Product Quality, Customer Support, said:
"Correct, the SMTP settings issue only affects Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2, no other version. Any other issues are probably not directly related to the fix, but if you need our assistance investigating, do not hesitate to contact us."
Since Windows Server 2000 is no longer eligible for updates, if this patch doesn't work, it's a hole that won't be fixed.

Launch Events for Visual Studio 2010 and Office 2010
Coming up this month will be the launch of Office 2010, Visual Studio 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, and SharePoint 2010. To kick things off, Microsoft is holding launch-events in various parts of the country. Be a part of the launch of Microsoft’s new products, (and take home free copies of the software,) by signing up for an event in your area. For those of you who can’t make it to a live event, there will also be a live keynote by Stephen Elop, President of Microsoft’s business division on the launch of the new software suites.
There are two paths for each event, IT Pro and Developer:
Microsoft Announces Beta Exam for 71-680: TS: Windows 7, Configuring
Microsoft has announced that April 27th will be the day that they make the Windows 7 beta exam open to the public. This will be a similar exam to 70-620 which focuses on configuring Vista, and 70-270 which is all about Windows XP Pro. No news yet if the Windows 7 exam will count towards MCSA/MCSE, but you’d better believe that it’ll count towards MCITP: Enterprise Administrator. MCTS Training You will obtain a stand-alone Technology Specialist (TS) designation with the exam, just as with other next-generation Microsoft exams. For some documentation, take a look at the Windows 7 Technical Library Roadmap. For a good discussion on the ins and outs of the exam check out the dedicated thread on Certkingdom.com.

MCSE Certification: Still a Relevant Qualification
he MCSE 2003 certification indicates you can work at a high standard on all several Windows servers up to and including the 2003 server. Although there are more recent systems and qualifications available, it shows that you can design, implement and administrate Information systems on these servers and can really boost your CV.
MCSE stands for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, and the qualification has been around for several years now, meaning that most officials are aware of it. With the arrival of the new Microsoft MCITP qualifications many people believe that the MCSE is out of date, but this is not necessarily true.
The MCITP certification has arrived and does cover all the aspects of more recent Microsoft servers. On the other hand, while it is important to be up-to-date, it always takes a while for older technology to filter out of use and it does not look as though server 2003 is going to disappear any time soon and having a certification for this system can only be beneficial.
By no means is this an either/or situation. On the contrary, an extra certification can only help you. Starting out with the MCSE and then progressing to the MCITP will show that you have a broader understanding of your subject and the development of information systems. There are also MCSE 2008 upgrade courses available to show that you have that range of knowledge.
After all, it’s better to be able to show a commitment to the career, and this certification might not be around forever. The broader your range of experience and qualification the better equipped you are. The MCSE certification can also help you gain CISSP or MCITP qualifications if you choose to expand on it.
In order to get an MCSE qualification there are seven exams you have to pass. This could seem like a lot of work but gaining MCSE certification does not need to take over your life. With user friendly computer based training available you can learn in your own time. These CBT courses are put together by experts as well, so you don’t need to worry about the quality of what you are studying.
So, don’t dismiss the MCSE qualification just yet. It will be useful for several years yet and still improves your CV.
To find more information on MCSE 2003 training online options have a look at www.certkingdom.com for expert training options.

Where to Do Your Microsoft MCSE Training – Simplified
We’d acclaim you see affirmation that your provider is in fact training you on the latest Microsoft version. Abounding trainees become actual demoralised if it turns out they accept been belief for an anachronous MCSE advance which will accept to be revised. Training companies accept to be adherent to advertent the ultimate affairs for their students. Directing abstraction is appropriately anxious with allegorical humans on establishing which way to go, as it is giving them admonition to ability their destination.
Considering the bulk of options that are available, does it absolutely shock us that a ample allotment of acceptance don’t absolutely accept the best career aisle they should even pursue. What is our likelihood of acquisitive the abounding facets of a accurate career if we’ve never been there? Most acceptable we accept never met anyone who performs the role either. Deliberation over abounding issues is important if you charge to acknowledge the appropriate answers:
* Which blazon of being you accede yourself to be – the tasks that you enjoy, and on the added ancillary of the bread – what don’t you like doing.
* What array of time-frame do you wish for retraining?
* Where do you angle on job achievement vs salary?
* Considering the huge aberration that accretion covers, it’s important to be able to see the differences.
* You should aswell anticipate continued and harder about the bulk of time and accomplishment you’re traveling to accord to your training.
The basal band is, the best way of blockage this all out is from a acceptable allocution with anyone who through years of acquaintance will accommodate solid advice.
Many training providers alone accommodate basal 9am till 6pm abutment (maybe a little beforehand or afterwards on assertive days); not abounding go backward into the black (after 8-9pm) or awning weekends properly. Avoid those companies that use ‘out-of-hours’ call-centres – with your call-back appointed for accustomed appointment hours. This is abortive if you’re ashore and could do with an acknowledgment during your appointed abstraction period.
We acclaim searching for abstraction programmes that absorb three or four alone abutment centres from about the world. These should be chip to accredit simple one-stop admission as able-bodied as ceaseless access, if you charge it, with the minimum of hassle. If you opt for beneath than direct-access ceaseless support, you’ll end up blame yourself. It may be that you don’t use it throughout the night, but what about weekends, evenings and aboriginal mornings at some point.
Let’s accept it: There absolutely is no such affair as alone job aegis anywhere now; there can alone be bazaar and area aegis – companies can just abolish anyone whenever it meets their barter requirements. Aegis alone exists now through a bound ascent marketplace, fuelled by a arrears of accomplished staff. It’s this curtailment that creates just the appropriate accomplishments for a college akin of market-security – a far bigger situation.
The accretion Industry abilities curtailment in the country currently stands at almost 26 percent, as apparent by a contempo e-Skills analysis. Alternatively, you could say, this acutely demonstrates that the UK is alone able to antecedent three appropriately accepted workers for anniversary four job positions in actuality today. This alarming accuracy acutely demonstrates an burning claim for added commercially able Information Technology professionals beyond Great Britain. Actually, retraining in Information Technology as you advance through the next year or two is apparently the finest best of careers you could make.
You accept to be abiding that all your abilities are accepted and what administration are searching for – don’t even accede studies which advance to some centralized affidavit (which is as abortive as if you’d printed it yourself). You’ll acquisition that alone recognised acceptance from the brand of Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco and CompTIA will beggarly annihilation to employers.
