Пару недель назад пересдал 70-401 на 884 балла. Не хватило теоретитческих знаний по тому, с чем не сталкивался: NAP, primary/secondary site, mobile device, Wake on LAN, Internet-based client. Итог — 648/1000.
40 вопросов, 80 минут, английский язык, симуляций нет. Вопросы очень лёгкие: «У вас есть инфраструктура с SCCM 2007. Вам нужно получить _какой-то результат_. Какой лог посмотреть/какой мастер запустить/какую роль установить?»
Темы вопросов совпадают с тем, что указано на официальной странице экзамена.

Также удалось побывать на курсе 6451А. Курс упорядочивает знания и даёт много новых, хотя специалисту с практическим опытом, наверное, будет скучно, поскольку внедрение продукта подразумевает под собой вдумчивое чтение TechNet’а и богатый опыт траблшутинга. В версии курса «А» много лабораторных работ не дают нужного результата (от траблшутинга толку тоже нет), хотя лично у меня всё было хорошо. Практический заданий много, что радует.
Курс не рассматривает много тем, включая работу с Windows 7/Server 2008, поскольку изучается функционал «голого» SCCM 2007. Мало времени уделено кастомной инвентаризации (моей любимой теме).

В сентябре этого года выйдет курс 6451B. NAP опять не затрагивается, зато рассматриваются: Internet-based client, SQL Reporting Services, Asset Intelligence, Application Virtualization Packages, SP1, SP2, R2, R3.
Конечно, администраторы SCCM 2007 всё это давно внедрили у себя в компаниях, но лучше поздно, чем никогда.

Вышли два новых интересных вебкаста: Automating Windows 7 Deployments Using System Center Configuration Manager (Level 300) и Technical Overview: System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 and R3 (Level 200).

О выходе SP2 в октябре ходили упорные слухи ещё с лета. Сегодня это случилось!
SP2 не является куммулятивным, т.е. устанавливается строго поверх SP1. Среди основных нововведений — поддержка Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 и R2. Обо всех нововведениях можно прочитать на странице закачки.
