So, I’m studying for a new cert. . .
Yup, Exchange is going to be my “special friend” for the next month or two while I study for the MCTS certification test on it. I’ve gotten started on some training material, like beginning the CBT Nuggets video series and labbing out a couple of Windows Server 2008 R2 boxes in VMWare Player. I’m also going to try to get my hands on the Inside Out book and possibly the Sybex book. I haven’t decided if I want to do the exam for the full MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010, we’ll have to see how crazy I feel.

So far, I’ve done a bare-bones install of Exchange 2010 three times, (once almost without any screw-ups,) in a lab environment consisting of a domain controller and a member server both running Windows Server 2008 R2. Baby steps, baby steps.
