Ponder this.

Windows Home Server is currently not offered to MSDN Subscribers, but Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is? Just because MS is currently offering a 40% discount on exams, and home networks and automation is kind of a pet project of mine, I was considering taking the MCTS: Connected Home Integrator exam. But unfortunately, I do not have a copy of Windows Home Server to ensure that I have the skills necessary to meet the exam objectives.

What a jip!

*UPDATE*

Someone heard my call and it is now available here.

MCTS, MSDN

A new version of my resume is now online.  I just got back from passing exam 70-501 Microsoft Certrified Technology Specialist: Windows Server 2003 Hosted Environments, Configuring, and Managing.  I really enjoyed the test.  The questions covered a wide variety of topics from not only IIS, but also to include Database servers.  Since the two really go hand in hand, it makes a lot of sense.  Other topics include Network Load Balancing, and both Database and Content Server failover.  Again, completly makes sense.  The only questions I found to be out of scope (in my opinion, it’s listed right on the exam objectives as valid topics) were the questions about automated server deployment services, and SharePoint.
