Yesterday we added another SQL 2008 MCM to the community, making the total number of SQL MCMs sixty members strong.  What's even more noteworthy is our new SQL MCM, Nicolas Husson, is an independent contractor (and based on his performance during...

I'm clearing off the to-do list today whilst the Qual Lab goes on, and wanted to make sure the world knew that we added two new MCA Exchange 2007's over the last month or so. These two guys upgraded their existing MCA Exchange 2003, so now hold all 4...

Please congratulate and welcome Dirk Buntinx , A PFE for Microsoft based in Belgium, who passed the Qual lab and joins the MCM 2007 community. Dirk attended Exchange Rotation 3 in May, and has the most bizarre taste in clothing, fortunately for him, we...

OCS MCM rotation 4 is almost out the door. Almost - just the final qual lab to finish now. As I write the candidates are all laser focused on their laptops, oblivious to the world around them as they work through the final gruelling 6 hour lab. All this...

For Exchange and SharePoint that is. Directory is now only two weeks long, so they are at the halfway point, and OCS is entering their final week. Busy busy right now. It's been a great week in my room, or at least, I think it has. CAS and Transport...
