    Cleaning Tape

    I have a new install using Simpana 8 and a Scalar 50 library. I have a bar code sheet for 200 tapes. None on the sheet are marked CLN. I have purchased a cleaning tape and would like to label it with a bar code and identify it as a cleaning tape. I see where in "media by groups" "cleaning tapes"...

    Any recomendations as to which Cisco hardware to purchase for setting up a lab? Of course it needs to be new enough to learn Ciscoease but also cheap enough I don't have to hawk my house. While we're at it, any recommendations for a home Cisco firewall that might protect my home network and help...

    Good job CCns23! I'm glad to hear you hung in there! Beside it would have sucked to be a three time loser. That thought kept running through my head anyway. I'm also leaning a little towards CCNA. Have any study plans you'd care to share? Any idea what it's all about?

    I'm open at this point. I see a need to work with Cisco firewalls and ACL's but I don't want a cert. that expires every two years. I'm also leaning toward something Microsoft with Active Directory at the top of the list. Any suggestions. Don A+,Net+,Server+,Sec+

    I have completed my week at NH at I was able to leave Sec+ certified. I was the only paying customer. The other participant was a retake. I will echo that the class was OK at best. I won't elaborate much on this. I did look at Testking for the first time. I did not realize that their questions...

    Kactus I have decided to go the listening route and have enrolled in a week long security+ course at New Horizons. I will be taking the exam immediately after the last class. They wanted me to digest the class for awhile but with my failure record I convinced them otherwise. I'm hoping the...

    My employer will pick up the tab on this. It is of my choice not theirs. I feel that this certification is an important one to hold and could help leverage wage increases etc. I see security becoming more and more important to a networks exixtence. Am I placing too much weight on this...

    I have an opportunity to take Sec+ at a New Horizons class. Obviously I'm having problems on my own! Has anyone used this facility? I have only been in to take cert tests and have no idea if it's worth the investment. They don't promise a cert as part of the class which I like. They offered to...

    Doletopia I have taken the summer off as far as studying. I take a quiz here and there to refresh the old brain cells but that's about it. I do plan on getting back on track when the days get shorter. The good part is I'm getting more practical experience and should have a better chance at some...

    Rollover News !!

    I had an extra $69.00 and applied for a rollover cert from ETA. I didn't give it much credibility and probably still don't. I do like the idea that it will require a renewal and has an expiration date. I hope they will require testing at that time. I did submit it to my employer as part of my...

    Rollover News !!

    Does anyone believe this new cert will hold any credibility? I read the article and my take is if you have the needed Comptia certs you get the ETA cert just for having an extra 69 dollars. Could some other agency come along and take 69 dollars combine a server+ and security+ and call it...

    Wishdiak I have taken a multitude of practice tests. Maybe 300 questions or so. I've taken the practice tests so many times my responses are mechanical rather than methodical.I will say I find the test questions much harder than any practice questions. I also have found a few questions on the...

    Wishdiak I have incorporated the following into my studying: Certiguide to Security+ (compliments to glister) CBT Direct Security+ (web) Mike Meyers Security+ (he's my favorite for ease of reading) Security+ For Dummies (I was sure this would put me over the top!)

    Looks like you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I took the exam on Friday and missed it by even a few more points this time. I scored over 81% this time but that's not enough. Comptia must have a good pool of questions as I only remember a very few repeats. I will retake it again. I will admit...

    764 was too high for me! I managed a 756. I did learn alot about studying. You CAN study too much. I was sizzled by test time. I'll take a break for the holidays and hit it again. Thanks glister for the link to certguide. I found the reading easy to absorb on that site. I guess I should have...

    Glister, thanks for the insight, comments, suggestions and tips. I did quickly hit the link you gave and see it will be another great source of learning. I will re-enter the sponge mode for another week before the exam.

    I am going to take the exam for this cert next week and was wondering why the bar is set so high for this cert compared to others. Minimum score to pass is 764 on a scale of 100 - 900. My math says you need almost 85% to pass. I emailed Comptia over a week ago asking this question but as of yet...

    Server+

    Now that there is a date for the new Server+ exam. Has anyone who sat for the beta test gotten a response as to pass or fail? Does anyone know if there is a date for the test results?
