Olá Pessoal,

Semana passada eu fiz duas provas para me tornar um MCITP – Enterprise Administrator, a primeira foi a 70-640 TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring  e a segunda foi a a 70-642: TS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring.

A 70-640 foi um pouco mais fácil, pois trata basicamente do serviço de diretórios, DNS, DHCP, administração de usuários, etc

Para me preprar para a 70-640 (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exams/70-640.aspx) , eu usei os recursos abaixo:

Já a 70-642 foi um pouco mais complicada, na minha opinião, pois precisa saber banstante coisa sobre NAP e IPv6, que não é trivial.

Para me preprar para a 70-642, usei o MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-642): Configuring Windows Server® 2008 Network Infrastructure e criei algumas maquinas virtuais em meu ambiente de Virtual PC

Caso voces não saibam, o VPC 2007 é gratuito e pode ser baixado diretamente do site da Microsoft, no link : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&displaylang=en

Para obter a certificação MCITP – Enterprise Administrator, são necessárias as seguintes provas :

Na 70-640 passei com 1000 pontos !!! :-) e na 70-642 com 988 pontos….

Boa sorte a todos !

Grande abraço,

Eduardo Zarpelão
