This morning I did the 71-669 exam. This exam, named TS: Windows Server 2008 R2, Desktop Virtualization covers several desktop virtualization products. The exam was the third virtualization exam, and when Passed I can call myself Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Virtualization Administrator
RDS: there were a lot of RDS questions and most of them weren't that hard. Sure the licensing questions are always tricky, especially because my limited experience in this. But then again most design questions about the RDS session hosts, RDS Gateway servers, RDS Web access, RDS Session broker were pretty straightforward. Also the folder redirection is almost a daily job for me so no surprises here.
MED-V: Ouch, never used it and there were some new terms for me. But with using some common sense and experience in Microsoft in general most of the questions were doable. Or should I use the term "educated guess" ?
XPMode/Virtual PC: not that many questions and not that hard.
App-V: Although I'm familiar with the basic principles of App-V I never had really worked with in any other way than an end-user. So the questions about the sequencing part were tricky for me the least. Some questions about the infrastructure for using App-V and different branches were really interesting for me.
VDI: a lot of the VDI terms are similar to the RDS. And a lot of the basic principles are the same.the licensing is however so complicated (and get changed a lot) that fortunately there were no questions about them. If you know how to configure device configuration, folder redirection, Basic GPO settings you won't have that much problems with this.
With today the last day of the beta period, and me not having enough time to prepare properly I think I did a reasonable job at this exam. I will read the free MS e-book later so the Med-V and App-V Parts will be clearer.
