Previously I worked a lot with Linux but these days most of my work is done in a Microsoft environment, this reflects on my articles since I write most my articles about things I find I need to document to remember or even things that get asked again and again in forums, like the TechNet Forums.

So working with Microsoft products and writing about Microsoft products and technologies made me realize I really need to get certified. Certification for me was a way to prove to myself I know my way around the Windows Server operating system and specifically the Active Directory (AD).

The goals for now are to get the Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Server Administrator and after that Enterprise Administrator.

The first exam done

Today I took my first exam, the Microsoft exam 083-640 or 70-640, and by doing so receiving my first certification. And now I’m awaiting my email about my MCP status. Next week I have the next test booked and during my learning and training process I’ve noticed I remember things a lot better by writing about them, so this blog will probably get updated more these weeks than it has ever been, so keep a look out for new articles you might be interested in.

Bye for now

This was all for today and as I said, keep a look out for articles you might want to read in the close future.
