Certified MCITP Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010!

[tweetmeme source=”stalehansen” only_single=false] Finally I got time to take the latest PRO exam for Exchange 2010. My score was 831 and it was a lot of questions about the new features in Exchange 2010 like DAG and RBAC. It was also questions about message hygiene and compliance. I scored max on designing and deploying Exchange 2010, and thats mostly because I spend most of my Exchange time doing just that. My lowest scores was on compliance, monitoring and security. Mostly because most of my customers don’t have big needs in those areas. By getting certified MCITP: EMA 2010 so soon after its release I became a Charter Member.
