Hi Friends,

My great friend Cleber Marques, one of the authorities in project management of Brazil and Microsoft MVP, released in his website (http://www.clebermarques.com/) two free training for students and professionals: one about Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) 4.0 and other about System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007.

In the MOF training, he developed eight videos and a sheet about the MOF 4.0 Foundations certification, which was released at the end of the last year. One important note: he was approved in that exam, raising the credibility of this material.

Below are the URLs to the videos and the sheet (In Portuguese):

The another training is about System Center Configuration Manager 2007. In his site, there are 13 videos in Portuguese, covering the main topics of this solution from installation to management. This training has more than four hours of video, providing a great foundation to the professional.

Below are the links to these videos (In Portuguese):

I recommend these trainings, because their technical qualities are awesome. I wish to congratulate my friend Cleber Marques, by the initiative of creating this material. Thanks, my friend.

SYSTEM CENTER BETA EXAM - TS: Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, Configuring

Hi Friends,

Microsoft has just announced to public the beta exam of the virtualization management solution of System Center suite: 70-403 (TS: Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, Configuring). This exam belongs to the MCTS (Technology Specialist) credential, and it can be taken by professionals for free.

The coolest thing about beta exams is, if you approved in a beta, you win the credential when the final version of this exam becomes available. The only problem is that the result of beta exams, differently of final exams, is sent to you three or four months later.

The exam 70-403 is Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, Configuring. This exam, developed for IT Managers and Enterprise Administrators, tests the professional’s knowledge in planning, implementing and maintaining virtual machines and servers, and also how VMM interacts with other System Center solutions.

The period of this beta exam starts next Tuesday (September 23rd), and will be available until October 24th.

If you want to take this exam, access Prometric website (www.2test.com) and schedule the desired exam. The code of these beta is in the format 71-XXX. On the last step (Payment), inform the promotional code (Promocode): VMM08. After you inform the code, the system will discount the whole value of the exam. Then, you confirm the appointment and get ready for the exam!

You can obtain more information about the topics that are covered by this exam at the link: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-403.mspx.

Beside the link above, I recommend the site of the MVP Cleber Marques, System Center specialist, that offers many documentation and articles about these solutions. The URL is: http://www.clebermarques.com/.

I will schedule mine as soon as possible. And you? Hurry up and get ready for this exam! The seats are limited.

Regards,
