Earlier today I received an invite for the System Center Configuration Manager 2012 beta exam (71-243). Too bad that mail is not yet made public, but within a few days you all can register for the beta exam which can be attended from February 1st till February 23rd.
While I was searching the web today for some new information about the new System Center suite I ran into something nice. With the new System Center 2012 suite also a new certification will become available. The exact name has to be determined at the moment, but it will probably be something like this : MCITP Private Cloud.
The receive this certification you have to pass the following exams:
- Exam 70-640: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring
- Exam 70-642: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring
- Exam 70-643: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuring
If you already achieved the MCITP Server Administrator or MCITP Enterprise Administrator, then you already passed these exams. To achieve the Private Cloud Certification you only have to pass the next two exams:
- Exam 70-246: Private Cloud Monitoring and Operations with System Center 2012 (available after June 26, 2012)
- Exam 70-247: Private Cloud Configuration and Deployment with System Center 2012 (available after June 25, 2012)
I’ve you are able to attend the Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) 2012 in Las Vegas, you probably can attend the System Center 2012 Beta Exams which will be available at the Summit in April 2012. Let’s hope the beta exams will also be available to everybody, who isn’t able to attend the event, via the ‘normal’ channels!
As soon any news will be available, I’ll update my blogpost!
