For those of you who care and even for those that don't, I am currently attending a week long training session to upgrade my 2003 MCSE Certification to the new MCITP Enterprise Administrator for Windows Server 2008. Just got done taking my first exam and scored a 982 out of 1000. Pretty impressive.

The training is being handled by Intense School. I highly recommend them to anyone who is wishing to become certified. They offer Microsoft, Cisco and many other training classes. Their instructors are awesome and their training materials are beyond stupendous.

Tomorrow is exam number two and Friday is the Vista Exam. I'll keep you all posted.

Of course. I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't.

2008 Server is by far the best server OS Microsoft has released.

BigBoss has been talking about sending me to a 2008 course for my yearly training this coming year. It should be fun because we are wanting to replace some of our 2000 Servers with 2008s and then start bringing up our 2003s when they each start hitting the end of their lifespan.

By the size of that acronym I thought you were going to some sort of Marines' seminar or something.
Looks like I'll have to start picking your brain in the future.

Godspeed, or something along those lines ! :D

Very impressive indeed! Good luck, although I'm sure you won't need it.

Sweetness! So do they make you swear your soul away with nondisclosure agreements like redhat does for their certs or are you allowed to give us insider information?
