off-topic: Beta exam anyone?

Yes, I have taken the exam about a month ago, haven't got score yet, too ;)

Most of the questions were logical, but I think some of them were "heavy" for the target audience of an end-user (Administrator), and some of them were unclear.

But the majority was good, and it's good to see that they are not too easy, that the exam will really mean that the User has understood the concepts behind EV, and has a solid understanding of EV Administration.

I took the exam last week & also awaiting for results . Most of the questions are logical & not that easy unless you have a good experience in enterprise level.

The problem i think would be not all company's would use all products which comes with enterprise vault making it more difficult & taking chances at best guess.

Lets hope we pass :smileywink:

I took the exam three weeks ago and still waiting on results. I found that  most of the questions were easy enough to understand but some of them were very vague.

I also think that the exam did not touch on all the features of EV and concentrated mainly on the Mailbox archiving / OWA side of EV. It pretty much ignored FSA and Journaling. (only 3 of 4 questions directed to FSA/Journaling)

It also pretty much ignored features like DA and CA.

I also agree with Stanley7175 about not all people use all the features and others use the software for Journaling and FSA and never touch Mailbox Archiving. These IT staff will struggle with the exam and have little chance of getting certified.

A suggestion would be that they create seperate exams for each feature and then also offer a EV masters exam that covers all of the EV features in one.

This way the IT who only use some of the features can get certified in the areas they use and then the people who use all the features can get certified as EV Masters

I wish everyone good luck and I hope we all pass

Hi guys

Do not confuse the Exam!

It's called

"Administration of Symantec Enterprise Vault 2007 Exchange"

So it's only logical that there are no FSA/CA/DA/Domino/Sharepoint questions...

Cheers

Don't know that...

Would be worth a question to the Cert forum.

Looks like you got there before me. I Just saw your post :smileytongue:

Is the exam for the EV certification or something?  Is it like MCSE, CCNA and etc? You take the exam(s) and get certified?  Is this new because I've never heard of certification for EV?

Yes doctortt, it is EV Certification, taken on a Prometric facility.

This is new, and currently in beta. You will be able to take the "real" exam, soon, I think

Cheers
