Aww that's not fair, I want to book up for Exchange 2k7 TS & start studying for the pro exams but not until I know I've passed 649....

Peter, start with the Exchange exams now. They're not really related to the WS2008 cert series. And i thought that especially the Pro exams were very well done - i didn't like the PowerShell heavy TS exam, though.

Just logged into my Vue account, status is still at "taken", and no news on my transcript either.

Well, they got 19 more days :)

Just checked my status on Prometric and it still says "Tested" instead of "Passed" (or "Failed" ... )

18 days and counting :-)

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Stan Segers — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:49:17 GMT

Hi Trika,

Like with the response above from Roel, I see "Tested" too for my 70-649. However, I also still see my 70-431, which I toke in Beta almost 3 years ago with "Tested" as well. Do these results get updated to Prometric/Vue?

Bummer. December 5th is Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) over here. Sinterklaas is what the Dutch took with them to the US and has transformed to Father Chrismas (aka St.Nick which is short for Nicholas).

So I can´t leave my kids to their presents and go attend this.

And yes, nowadays many Dutch kids get Sinterklaas AND Christmas presents because St.Nick took the trip back to The Netherlands, so they get the same thing twice. It wasn´t like that when I was a kid , however, you only got presents for Sinterklaas :(

@ Erwin : You can take the second shift ;) It's only at 2am in the Netherlands :)

But aren't you still at work at Dec 5th at 16:30 (Dutch time)?

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Packetboy — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 10:17:48 GMT

Erwin Blonk — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:52:44 GMT

@Helmer

I might very well take the 2am shift.

By 16:30 I might not be working because they send you home a bit early on december 5th.

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

packetboy — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 15:54:02 GMT

hmm prometric still just says "tested" anyone got their results yet? Somehow i dont think that page is going to ever update... :(

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Alice — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:43:31 GMT

PearsonVue still says "tested" too for me, so it's not just Prometric (who often seems to be slower).

It could still be another two weeks, aigh!

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Eduardo Bratz — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:45:51 GMT

same thing... at Vue just appear "taken"

also waiting a refound of my 70-238 exam...

sure Microsoft need to improve the support to MCP/MCT's because we are some kind of "Microsoft seller's". Another comment: Prometric sux... I've taked allready 15 exam's, 4 of them by Prometric, and NEVER got my MCT discount...with vue, it's so easy!

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

trikah@microsoft.com — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 22:35:45 GMT

Eduardo, send that info to msledp@microsoft.com so someone has to be responsible.

Vincent, I'm not sure what you mean. You should contact the helpdesk for your exam provider (in this case VUE) to get your beta results. If I'm not understanding what you mean, send me an e-mail. OK?

Don't freak out, pls k tHX

There has been a name change to one of the MCTS certifications in development for Windows Server 2008.

Nope, me neither..

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Lukas Beeler — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:08:57 GMT

Still at "taken", for me, too.

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Heber — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:49:44 GMT

Today I've checked and it still says "Tested" (Prometric)

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Helmer — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:14:12 GMT

Still 'tested' at Prometric :(

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Pedmil — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 19:38:28 GMT

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Tango — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 23:01:56 GMT

Still 'taken' at VUE

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Brian — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 02:48:46 GMT

Here's what VUE wrote when I asked when 71-648 and 71-649 would be scored. (Received 10/29/07).

---------------------------------------------------

Thank you for contacting Pearson VUE.

At this time, the beta exam 71-648 has not been scored by Microsoft. Unfortunately, I do not have an estimated time when this will be scored. You would be able to find more information on this beta exam by

contacting Microsoft at 1-800-636-7544 or

www.microsoft.com/traincert/mcp.

If you have any further questions or inquiries, please contact us again.

----------------------------------------------------

Looks like VUE is passing the buck to Microsoft.

So many questions, understandably, about what you should do next, with Windows Server 2008 certifications

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Daniel — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 02:41:14 GMT

Should we really check with the exam provider to find out whats up?

I think it's pretty obvious that microsoft hasnt scored them yet.

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Rupert — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 15:07:26 GMT

just phoned VUE and they're saying that I must contact microsoft for the results - for confidentiality reasons they don't have anything to do with issuing results.

re: Windows Server 2008 upgrades

Gregory Smith — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 19:17:49 GMT

Vue posted my results today (I guess I'll gt the score report in the mail)

unfortunately, FAIL. Hope some others on the Vue side of things got a pass; with the prep time I had available, I figured about a 50/50 chance of passing (I took it at TechEd)

Hey Gregory, you're right. I always think the same way as you are. There is always a 50% change. You either fail, or pass.
