Well As I had mentioned Previously as part of my goals I have scheduled my Exam for this Friday. From the report from my last attempt on this exam I missed it only by a few points so I am brushing up on the points that were a bit weaker according to the report. Right now I am going through all the documentation I have on those topics and reviewing them and any scenarios where they may be used in the exam.

Will post an update this weekend after I complete the exam. Wish me Luck!

Well I have been kind of lazy of late with vacation and just life in general taking it’s tole on me. Maybe it is being back in the winter after so many years I am suffering from SAD. I don’t know but I am working on getting out of it right now.

And a couple of the goals I have set for myself are to write my next exam for the MCSE and get in the habit of writing a post at least once a day. Nothing fancy or too deep. But something interesting and of value.

Well that is my little post for today. I have scheduled my test already. And I am working on a couple of post that should be ready in the next few days.

So as I mentioned earlier I am in the process of pursueing the MCSE 2003 Certification. I had previously Completed the training for the MCSE on NT 4.0 but never finished all the exams. partly because I had already started to work in the field and found that at that time the certification helped but experience counted for more. I had also completed the training for the CCNA course back in 2003 but that too I did not have time to take the exams as a result of my work schedule. In My current position, the management goal is to have our whole team (approx 10) people trained and certified on MCSE 2003, CCNA, and ORACLE DBA by the end of next year. The schedule is quite aggresive but the plan would be to attend 2 week bootcamps for each of these certifications. unfortunately one of the drawbacks is that the company would like us to sign an agreement to the effect that we wont leave after getting the training, or else there will be a financial penalty. With that in mind, hence I am starting to pursue the training on my own, I have usually managed to read the books and do the practice exams and that usually prepares me enough to take the microsoft test. Hopefully that will still be the case
