Now available! 70-669: TS: Windows Server 2008 R2, Desktop Virtualization

Can you tell me if there will be an MCTIP for Virtualization stutus in a near future and maybe a master degree also?

Btw, I have a Softgrid Admin certification that I obtained before Mirosoft bought the company.

Can I use this somewhere in a track?

Thanks

Daniel - There is an MCITP for Virtualization already.  Take a look at www.microsoft.com/.../exam.aspx.  You need exams 70-659, 70-669 and 70-693.  Holding all three of these will give you the MCITP: Virtualization Administrator credential.

Amanda - A few weeks ago Krista mentioned that it would be possible to use 70-652 as a substitute for 70-659.  Could you confirm whether this is the case?  

This was the original post:

Thanks

Hopefully I'm not violating any NDAs by saying this (hah!), but the exam was easy.  Too easy.  I expected it to be much harder because it covers VDI, App-V, MED-V, RDS, Virtual PC, and XP Mode.  But I passed it with relatively little prep.

@ Daniel from Belgium, there is the "MCITP: Windows Virtualization, 2008 R2" certification.  No word on an MCM program.  I think virtualization in general needs to be a little more widely used and mature before they would consider and MCM for it.

@OtherKevin, yeah that one was easy but 693 wasn't maybe they have lowered hardness of exam after seeing 693 results? :)

i hope 70-652 can be used to as i already have it, and it was much easier ;-)

I found it exactly the opposite, passed 693, but failed on 669. Unfortunateliy I didn't get the test-results from prometric yet, so I don't know which part I failed. Why can't they simply send them by email, they've got my emailaddress and all.

Prometric is still not listing 70-669 in the exam selection list. When will it be available? Is there some delay?

Can anyone (with 70-659; 70-669 and 70-693 passed) please confirm that the MCITP:Virtualization Admin credential is in fact listed on their transcript?

I have passed 70-652 (not 70-659), 70-669 and 70-693 and all of these are now in fact live -- no MCITP:VA on the trancript though (yet?)..

It is on my transcript.  However, the MCITP:Virtualization Administrator 2008 R2 credential did not show up until a day or two AFTER I received confirmation that I had passed the 71-669 AND earned the MCTS:  Windows Server 2008 R2, Client Virtualization credential.

if you just got your 71-669 notification then wait a couple of days before emailing MCPHelp.

@OtherKevin: Do you have Charter Member status for every Virtualization exam?

@OtherKevin: Is it listed under both:

1. Microsoft Certification Status

Credential Certification / Version  Date Achieved

Microsoft Certified IT Professional

and:

2. Microsoft Certification Exams Completed Successfully

Exam ID Description  Date Completed

693 PRO: Windows Server 2008 R2, Virtualization Administrator

?

Got the notificaton weeks ago and even emailed MCPHelp some days later - still nothing under Credential status though.

Hi Amanda,

I still have the same problem as Kurt at the time of writing:

70-669 is not available from the Prometric booking facility.

There's 74-669 instead, but correct me if I'm wrong I believe this has only superseded 71-669 as a beta exam.

I contacted Prometric to find out but I'm still waiting for an answer...

Any update on your side?

Thanks,

Sebastien
