    MCITP exam order advice

    Actually I kinda disagree on this, I believe they should be done in order (usually the numbering order for the certification). Do the workstation exam first, then 640, 642, 643 and then 647 because you tend to find that each progressive exam covers material from the previous exam culminating in...

    SMS - Can a package be pushed more than once?

    Yes it can, your tech needs to understand collections and query based collections. MCTS:Windows 7 MCITP:Enterprise Administrator MCITP:Server Administrator MCITP:Enterprise Desktop Administrator MCTS:System Center Configuration Manager 2007 MCSE:Security 2003 CompTIA Security+

    Certification exams don't represent real on job experience

    I have already given my feedback on this on another site. You just have to remember that there are two ways of doing things. There is the Microsoft way (knowing how to answer questions for exams) and then there is the Real World way where you can use other vendors products to make your life...

    I got my MCSE, still can't get a job. Which other certs would help?

    Again you have too many certs on your CV, leave just the A+ and the MCDST on there and try again. MCTS:Windows 7 MCITP:Enterprise Administrator MCITP:Server Administrator MCITP:Enterprise Desktop Administrator MCTS:System Center Configuration Manager 2007 MCSE:Security 2003 CompTIA Security+

    MCITP 70-640 or 70-642

    Thats correct, 83-640 is actually an emulation exam, that means you have two emulations where you have to carry out a number of tasks in each, it's designed to weed out those who have dumped to those who actually know the product. MCTS:Windows 7 MCITP:Enterprise Administrator MCITP:Server...

    MCITP 70-640 or 70-642

    You should ideally take them in the order that they are numbered, so the 83-640, then 70-642 and then 70-646, for the EA exam you would need to take a client (70-680 or 70-620 (Vista)) as well as 70-643 and 70-647. MCTS:Windows 7 MCITP:Enterprise Administrator MCITP:Server Administrator...

    Rebuilding a PC with 7

    OEM cd\dvd's generally have an OEM activation key hard coded into it, it checks the BIOS and if it finds the right key it will install without prompting for a license key. The problem with the Dell dvd is that yes, you did purchase it.. for use on the Dell, that license belongs to the Dell and...

    I got my MCSE, still can't get a job. Which other certs would help?

    To be honest with you, you should remove the MCSE off your CV, go look into getting an A+ certification and try again. Microsofts recommendations for the MCSE is 12 - 18 months of experience in the field for which you're studying, like alot of people have already said, with your lack of...

    Relevance of A+ Cert in my position

    Personally speaking I wouldn't bother, usually the A+ is seen as the entry level cert, if you already have an MCP or two and a few years worth of experience on the cv then that's usually good enough. Simon The real world is not about exam scores, it's about ability.

    Network Asset Management Software

    Ideally you need to have a mix of products, these would be the likes of WSUS\Config Manager 2007 and NAP (Microsoft Network Access Protection). As far as your unmanaged pcs are concerned, unless you bring them into the fold you aren't going to have much luck. To give you an idea, with Config...

    SMS and imaged PCs

    Is there any reason why you haven't upgraded to SMS 2003 or Config Manager? Bearing in mind that SMS 2.0 went end of life March 2006 you're going to find it increasingly difficult to get support on a product that is essentially dead in the water. One question I do have for you, what OS is it? I...

    SMS 2003 Move Clients New Primary Site

    If you have created a new Primary site then I think the only way you will be able to do this is to re-deploy the clients from the S02 site to the S01 clients. The existing clients all look to S01 as the site, they don't know anything about S02 and because it's not a Secondary\Child site they...

    SMS and imaged PCs

    Ideally you don't want to have the SMS client as part of the image but as part of a task sequence that installs the client when it's deployed. The reason for this is as above, the SMS client will be using the same GUID as all previous clients (even if you syspreped the machine) but if you do a...

    How to Query Collection Update Schedules???

    Off the top of my head I can't think of a way to do this, infact it would probably take me more time to look than to just check the properties of the collections (even accounting for 60+ collections). Simon The real world is not about exam scores, it's about ability.

    Problems deploying software

    First of all you're much better off using the MSI and MSIEXEC /i appname.msi to install, if you want to uninstall use MSIEXEC /x appname.msi. Change the package to use msiexec instead, ensure that the advert doesn't have an expiry and re-run the advert on the local machine (you may need to...

    How to detect MS Virtual Servers during software deployment?

    This should work for you. select SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Manufacturer, SMS_R_System.SMSAssignedSites, SMS_R_System.IPAddresses, SMS_R_System.IPSubnets, SMS_R_System.OperatingSystemNameandVersion, SMS_R_System.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup, SMS_R_System.SMSUniqueIdentifier...

    Unable to install SMS Clients

    Have you enabled Client Push? Just installing the SMS\SCCM server won't automatically install the clients. Also have you ensured that the account used to install the client is a member of the local admins (either using Restricted Groups via GPO or the account is a member of the Domain Admins AD...

    clients drop network connections every few minutes

    Whats the disk use like? I am wondering if the hosts hdd is being tasked too much? Simon The real world is not about exam scores, it's about ability.

    File sharing across 2 Lans (1 PC lan & 1 MAC lan

    Unless you have two different NIC's on the NAS box you aren't going to be able to share it across to different networks, there will be a requirement somewhere for the NAS to be on both networks, that's either done at the NAS itself or done on the network at a router\switch layer. You would also...
