I am about to, but I have plunged into all the nine books.Later I want the other two exams too, so I thought it is worth the time.Especially BI experts are very sought for in Sweden right now.Peter LarssonHelsingborg, Sweden |

I second it, although I would like to see some Guru's guide book on SQL 2005. Personally, in my experience much of the MS training material drives you just mechanically through lots of wizards and pictures of dialog boxes. But I found Inside series a better alternative with good information.Have you cleared MCTS exam, spirit?Harsh AthalyeIndia."The IMPOSSIBLE is often UNTRIED" |

I'm also intersted in doing this certification. Did a bit of searching and came across this book :http://www.amazon.co.uk/Implementing-Maintaining-Microsoft-Server-2005/dp/0789735881/sr=8-1/qid=1171886187/ref=sr_1_1/203-8955980-1329550?ie=UTF8&s=booksNo user feedback or comments though._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Inability is a disaster; patience is bravery; abstinence is a treasure, self-restraint is a shield; and the best companion is submission to Divine Will. |

Hi Spirit,Not sure why it isn't working. Anyway, I have sent you an email to your Yahoo account from my work email so hopefully we could start communicating.Look forward to your reply._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Inability is a disaster; patience is bravery; abstinence is a treasure, self-restraint is a shield; and the best companion is submission to Divine Will. |
