Thanks Gerry. Probably should remove the last part "You are receiving this email because ... 'UNSUBSCRIBLE'" :)
promotional code pusblished on this topic ? is it a mistake.
Why else do we receive an email from microsoft that is pointing out that these codes are fyeo
I tried contacting Prometric to register as i am outside US\Canada and they had no idea of how to book me on unless I pay, despite this being FOC.
They insisted i needed a voucher from Microsoft.....
Hey Now Gerry,
Some good news!
Thx 4 the info,
Catto
Hi folks,
To clarify, folks whose SME profile indicated experience with SharePoint 2010 received early notification of this beta opportunity and had several days to register before Gerry posted the codes here. There were still some spaces left in all four exams yesterday. 667 and 668 are now full. Right now, there are still some seats left for 573 and 576.
@Richard: ping me at mslcd@microsoft.com--you need a voucher code to register for these exams. The voucher codes are the "promotional codes" referred to above. If that's not the problem you were having, ping us at mslcd@microsoft.com and we'll try to sort it out.
Thanks
Krista

Hi Tomasz,
Sorry I had to delete your comment. This is a known issue discussed in the post call the Case of the Incredible Disappearing Beta Comments that I put up a couple days ago. Unfortunately, we may need to delete both of the items you mentioned because you provided details about what is covered in specific items. If you have any other feedback about specific items, please send it to mslcd@microsoft.com instead of posting it here on Born to Learn.
