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....Anonymous

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 :)Anonymous

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 :(Anonymous

@ 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)?Anonymous

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!Anonymous

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?Anonymous

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 certificationsAnonymous
November 04, 2007
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.Anonymous
November 07, 2007
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. class actAnonymous
November 14, 2007
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)Anonymous

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.Anonymous
