Friday I pulled a day out of the calendar for a dedicated exam day and I took the challenge of taking 3 Microsoft tests on the same day, I’ve done this before, but it’s the first time I passed all 3.

I took and passed 70-238 (Exchange 2007), 70-351 (ISA 2006) and in the end of the day, a bit impulsive I ended up taking 70-646 (Windows 2008 – Server Administrator), which went pretty good as well.

I was great to pass all of them. So now I’m MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator and MCITP: Server Administrator.

Next up on the agenda is 70-647 (Windows 2008 Enterprise),70-620 (Vista) and 70-638 (OCS 2007)…
