Thanks for the link!

And the obligatory question, any news regarding the beta results? (Accourding to what i've read, we should know them at the release time of the official exams, that would be in roughly 30 days).

I'm getting edgy on them too :)

Also wondering if beta's for the PRO exams are likely to be coming around any time soon (I'd've expected them around now if they're gonna go live at RTM+60)

A previous blog post from Trika said to start checking today, but no joy at this end.

Gregory how do we check if we passed the beta? Will we get an email? Or should I check my transcript in the MCP site?

Thanks,

Citrixman.

citrixman - I normally use the pearson vue web page, but if you're with prometric I think the mcp site's your best bet. (one of the things I'll miss, not sure why prometric can't/won't provide a list of exams taken & whether pass/fail/other)

Peter says "one of the things I'll miss, not sure why prometric can't/won't provide a list of exams taken & whether pass/fail/other)"

I am sorry to say that you are wrong.

Prometric does show history of test taken. Once you login you will see Candidate History as one of the options right below Re-schedule or Cancel an Exam.

Really?? I was sure a colleague told me they didn't. Don't be sorry at all if you've got positive news :)

When I completed previous certifications, I got emails from Microsoft when the welcome kits became available to me, entitled "Congratulations on your new Microsoft Certification! Please claim your Welcome Kit!".

I haven't seen anything like that yet for the Vista betas, but I don't have enough 'data points' yet to know if they're just a bit slow and will be sending them, if they don't do it for betas, if they don't do it for new-gen certs, or if they have stopped entirely.

I also don't recall any emails specifically announcing your status on a single exam. If I recall correctly, I first had to find my result (pass/fail only, no score) by checking PearsonVue's website, without any email to prompt me to check. The next step was for Microsoft's transcript to display the result. Then, some time later (a couple of weeks?), I received a paper copy of my detailed score report in the mail.

Any more news on the makeup of ITP the SA and SE Trika?

not sure if I've got the initials right anymore.

BTW - if you search google for "Booth Babe", I don't see you. But throw in "Microsoft Booth Babe" and you're top of the list. So - I guess that makes you the number 1 Microsoft Booth Babe ;-)

Just generic MSTS/MCITP certs (plus new ID yellow and orange cards) received after 70-621...

Nothing on paper (outside the transcript) about "Vista Configuration" or "Enterprise Support Technician"...

Next question is when will the Certification Planner be updateed with the new certs? Granted I feel a bit greedy asking for more--Microsoft has made computers ubiquitous and the need for support folks even more so--but I want my "I love me wall" to be explicit about my testing conquests... ;-)

jtb - MS has made the need for support folk even more ubiquitous? Could be taken more than one way ;)
