Microsoft¡¯s MCITP: Windows Vista, Configuration (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) certification is a latest certification on the Windows Vista technology. The MCTS: Windows Vista,Configuration certification has been designed for professionals who have a thorough knowledge in installing, managing and configuring Windows Vista including new features such as security,network, and applications.
The MCTS certification is also available on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and.NET 2.0. Getting MCTS Windows Vista certified is easy. Some companies have partnership with certain Prometric and Pearson VUE testing centres. This partnership facilitates those people that are interested to have their exams completed by proxy. This means that when they have received the basic candidate information they can complete any exam for anybody. And you will get certified.You can get your money back, if they do not pass your exams.
Make use of the Virtual Labs that Microsoft provides, as well as the free Web-casts. Practice test material is just for that practice. It may help you pass the test but believe me you will only last one day in a job if you don’t know what you are doing, so if you use practice material, read the question and if you don’t know the answer, research it and learn it, don’t just memorize the answer, I will tell you right now that their answers are not always right.
Also make sure when you test that you read the questions carefully, they many times put extra information, that you don’t need, to see if you know what you are doing (not to throw you off as some think) or they are asking for a specific answer, not how to resolve all the problems in the scenario.. Be aware of the type of exam you are taking. For example, if you are taking a basic operating system exam, a networking problem is usually resolved by using the tools the operating system comes with and may not be the advanced administrator troubleshooting found in Server exams. Also in networking there is the Microsoft answer and there is the Cisco answer and they will both be right but only for their type of test.
