Recruiting Beta Candidates for Exam 71-669!

[...] Check out their blog post. http://borntolearn.mslearn.net/2010/02/recruiting-beta-candidates-for-exam-71-669 [...]

Since there is already a MCTS on server virtualization, can we assume this test is around VDI?

hi, when is disponible?

[...] Somewhere in the next few days MS Learning will announce the latest Desktop Virtualization beta exam : TS : Windows Server 2008 R2, Desktop Virtualization, but more about that in another blogpost. For more info about the release of the beta exam-code please visit the MS Learn Blog [...]

Hmm..any idea when we can expect the beta code? :-)

oops, didn't notice the link:
This exam focuses on desktop virtualization technologies such as Windows Virtual PC, MED-V, Windows XP Mode for Windows 7, App-V, Remote Desktop Services, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Windows Server 2008 R2 environments, and Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2.

Since they posted the reminder to update your SME profile they're probably pretty close.

In the meantime, I'm still waiting on the results for 71-693. I've never waited so long for a beta result, and I took it on the last day it was available. I know that there were a lot of bad questions on the exam, but you'd think they could have gotten it sorted by now.

Hi,

why is this not on http://blogs.technet.com/betaexams/? For me, this used to be the one place to look for all beta exams.

Exam registration isn't open yet, so it's not posted. Of course, the last two beta exams on virtualization never got posted there at all. Those were 71-659 and 71-693. I'm guessing that they're only posting them to the beta exam blog when there are seats available, and there's so much demand from the SMEs that the seats are being filled within an hour or two of registration opening that they haven't had to open it to the public.

On top of that, a LOT of MCPs and MCTs were getting upset that we weren't getting first crack at registering for the beta exams because the registration codes were being posted publicly. If you are interested in doing a beta exam update your SME profile so that you can get emailed an invitation with the registration code in advance.

Hi Kevin,

I think it's a good idea to first invite SMEs, MCTs and so on. I'd just like to see information like "update your SME profile because there will be invitations soon" on the betaexams blog as well, as this used to be the #1 source for beta exam related information.
