Microsoft Visual Studio users get lab management
Offering aid to quality assurance labs, Microsoft MCTS Training this week began offering Visual Studio Lab Management for Visual Studio 2010 users, enabling automation of the build-deploy-test process for software development while maintaining visibility into the process itself.
Managing a quality assurance lab can be challenging, said S. Somasegar, senior vice president of the Microsoft Developer Division, in a blog post.

"A dizzying number of machines need to be set up, torn down, or restored to a particular snapshot so the software team can work at maximum efficiency. Daily builds need to be available on schedule. Multiple virtual machine environments need to be managed. Managing a lab efficiently can be a significant task," Somasegar said.
Visual Studio Lab Management leverages Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization, enabling an integrated Hyper-V-based test lab.
"Getting an environment configured correctly just to reproduce a bug can take significant time and effort," Somasegar said. "Lab Management allows testers to provide a link to a virtual machine snapshot directly in a bug report so developers can see exactly what testers see. Developers can spend more time debugging and less time installing, configuring, and deploying."
Users can store, manage, and deploy to known configurations and test environments using Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
A preconfigured VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) of Visual Studio 2010 Lab Management is available at Microsoft's website.
Visual Studio Lab Management is offered for MSDN-based customers of Visual Studio Test Professional 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.

Upgrading Your MCSE Certification on Windows Server 2003
You have your MCSE on Windows Server 2003, and you want to upgrade to Windows Server 2008. The first thing to remember is that this is a series of new certifications and, while there is an upgrade path, you are not earning an MCSA or MCSE on Windows Server 2008. Rather, you will earn a MCTS or MCITP on Windows Server 2008. Also remember that the era of the MCSA/MCSE certifications has ended – it is now MCTS Training and MCITP (and others beyond the scope intended here), and they have an entirely different focus.
The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) is concerned with and focused on a deep understanding and use of a specific Microsoft product. The MCITP, on the other hand, represents a broader view of a series of products or integrated products, and it is concerned with planning and developing of the network architecture and design. The important thing to remember is that the MCTS is not a prerequisite for the MCITP,
per se. In other words, you earn the MCTS de facto by simply passing the required tests for MCITP. You will earn the MCTS on several products if your goal is to earn the MCITP Server Administrator or Enterprise
Administrator on Windows Server 2008.
There are two MCITP tracks available for Windows Server 2008, the MCITP: Server Administrator or the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator (doesn’t mean you can’t get both; they are two separate certifications with different requirements and target audiences). Regardless of which track you wish to pursue, you will need to take the 70-649 TS: Upgrading your MCSE on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, Technology Specialist exam. Passing this exam will earn you the: MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuration (equivalent to the 70-640 exam), the MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration (equivalent to the 70-642 exam), and the MCTS: Window Server 2008
Application Infrastructure Configuration (equivalent to the 70-643 exam). One thing to keep in mind is that if you take and pass the 70-649 test, you also earn the same MCTS certification that you would have earned by just taking the 70-648 exam.
Now that you have the 70-649 exam, you can decide which of the MCITP tracks you wish to pursue. If you want to earn the MCITP: Server Administrator, then you will need to pass the 70-646 Pro: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator exam. If, on the other hand, you are interested in the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator, you still need to take the 70-649 TS: Upgrading your MCSE on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, Technology Specialist, but in addition, you will also need to take two other tests (for a total of 3 tests).
You can take either the 70-620: TS Microsoft Windows Vista, Configuring OR70-624 TS: Deploying and Maintaining Windows Vista Client and 2007 Microsoft Office System Desktop (your choice here, but one of the two is required). The last test you need to take is the 70-647: Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Administrator. Once you have taken all three – congratulations, you are now a MCITP: Enterprise Administrator. The value of certifications cannot be over-emphasized. A certification clearly demonstrates that an individual has met certain requirements and has a specific level of knowledge and skills. There have been significant changes to the Microsoft Certification programs in response to new technologies, and pressure from companies and individuals. Introducing a differentiation of the ubiquitous MCP Certification (take a test, any test, and you are an MCP) and the MCTS (product-specific) provides a qualitative approach to certification and applicability to job roles. The new MCITP certification relates more closely to the real job roles of IT professionals as it can cover multiple disciplines. Understanding the upgrade path from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 can be daunting. There are several exams that can be used for different certifications and just understanding the difference
between the MCTS certification and the MCITP can be challenging, but very rewarding in the end.
Conclusion
There must be value and worth in earning a Microsoft certification if the program has lasted over 16 years and granted over 2 million certifications. Our old friend the MCSE is soon to phased out. Those who hold this cherished certification should be proud of their achievements, and those who are on the path to earn the new MCITP will continue the Microsoft Certification tradition established in 1992. While the new certifications have different names and professional focus, they will still command respect within the IT community. Their relevancy is assured by tying the MCTS to a particular product and demanding a deep knowledge of this product. The MCITP assures that anyone possessing this certification has a breadth of knowledge on various products and is concerned with the network architecture and design. These are exciting times in the Microsoft Certification world.

Microsoft MCSE 2003
MICROSOFT MCSE 2003 & new generation certifications
Microsoft certified systems engineer on windows server 2003 ....
that is Microsoft Mcse 2003.
Microsoft has launched new generation certification in early 2008...
But still now the term ''Microsoft mcse 2003'' has more value than any other microsoft certificates...
Other day, i think nearly one month ago i was with my friend
& discussing with her about all these networking certifications...
Microsoft mcse 2003, CCNA.. etc...
& the other lady interrupted us... -we were in the train-
She was instructor at IIHT... -i think she was a newbie.. -
So she take on my friend as her client..
& persuit her to join her new batch of Microsoft mcse 2003...
So i asked her about Microsoft's new generation certificates like mcts etc...
1st thing i noticed she wasn't knowing it...
& then she said those haven't lunched yet in india...
i said OK..
Really still today, those courses not so famous like MCSE...
Here are some reason to go for mcse certification 2003..
if u r confused whether to join microsoft mcse 2003 or new generation certificates...
* -There are companies on large scale in industry who are using Win 2003 server...
* - & they will keep on using win 2003 as they have paid lots of money for its license to Microsoft..
* - & Microsoft would not supply them free license of win 2008...
* - so as long as microsoft keep on updating win 2003 & supports win 2003,, industry will need Microsoft mcse 2003 certificate holders...
* - microsoft mcse cerification is famous. & most recuitors only ask for MCSE who really don't have any idea about microsoft certification... so recuitor only know the thing that works..
* -MICROSOFT MCSE 2003- Microsoft mcse ---- Mcse---this mcse is the Whole complete course ... & new generation certification is divided as per different roles... for application.. server,, etc..
in mcse u need to know everything about that system's...
-mean win 2003's network functionality.. n everything about that operating system... -
So till now MCSE rocks !!!
Microsoft will try to promote new generation certifications in coming year... but Microsoft also ensures that Microsoft mcse 2003 certification & its credential will not retire..

-choose any one of these..
* -- one core design exam
- two design exams are available
-you can select any one of these..
----- you can select one of these as core design exam & other one as elective exam... as all institute gives u this same path for mcse 2003---
* one elective exam
as i said prior you can select the other remaining exam in core design exam section for elective exams to complete your 7 exams for mcse 2003...
or
you can select any another from list... List here
you can give as many as exams you want... there is no such restriction...
well but MCSE 2003 requires only7 exams to get credential.
These exams are really easy to pass.. "IF YOU HAVE PRACTICE or EXPERIENCE IN HANDLING THEM.. ''
&
i believe,,,
you need not have to practice of these for one year in IT company..
You can do all these practice at home or institute where you learn mcse 2003
Microsoft MCSE 2003
MICROSOFT MCSE 2003 & new generation certifications
Microsoft certified systems engineer on windows server 2003 ....
that is Microsoft Mcse 2003.
Microsoft has launched new generation certification in early 2008...
But still now the term ''Microsoft mcse 2003'' has more value than any other microsoft certificates...
Other day, i think nearly one month ago i was with my friend
& discussing with her about all these networking certifications...
Microsoft mcse 2003, CCNA.. etc...
& the other lady interrupted us... -we were in the train-
She was instructor at IIHT... -i think she was a newbie.. -
So she take on my friend as her client..
& persuit her to join her new batch of Microsoft mcse 2003...
So i asked her about Microsoft's new generation certificates like mcts etc...
1st thing i noticed she wasn't knowing it...
& then she said those haven't lunched yet in india...
i said OK..
Really still today, those courses not so famous like MCSE...
Here are some reason to go for mcse certification 2003..
if u r confused whether to join microsoft mcse 2003 or new generation certificates...
* -There are companies on large scale in industry who are using Win 2003 server...
* - & they will keep on using win 2003 as they have paid lots of money for its license to Microsoft..
* - & Microsoft would not supply them free license of win 2008...
* - so as long as microsoft keep on updating win 2003 & supports win 2003,, industry will need Microsoft mcse 2003 certificate holders...
* - microsoft mcse cerification is famous. & most recuitors only ask for MCSE who really don't have any idea about microsoft certification... so recuitor only know the thing that works..
* -MICROSOFT MCSE 2003- Microsoft mcse ---- Mcse---this mcse is the Whole complete course ... & new generation certification is divided as per different roles... for application.. server,, etc..
in mcse u need to know everything about that system's...
-mean win 2003's network functionality.. n everything about that operating system... -
So till now MCSE rocks !!!
Microsoft will try to promote new generation certifications in coming year... but Microsoft also ensures that Microsoft mcse 2003 certification & its credential will not retire..

ASP.NET INTRODUCTION
Unlike the ASP runtime, ASP.NET uses the Common Language Runtime (CLR) provided
by the .NET Framework. The CLR is the .NET runtime, which manages the execution
of code. The CLR allows the objects, which are created in different languages,
to interact with each other and hence removes the language barrier. CLR thus
makes Web application development more efficient.
In addition to simplifying the designing of Web applications, the .NET CLR
offers many advantages. Some of these advantages are listed as follows.
Improved performance:
The ASP.NET code is a compiled CLR code instead of an interpreted code. The CLR
provides just-in-time compilation, native optimization, and caching. Here, it is
important to note that compilation is a two-stage process in the .NET Framework.
First, the code is compiled into
the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL).
Then, at the execution time, the MSIL is compiled into native code. Only the
portions of the code that are actually needed will be compiled into native code.
This is called Just In Time compilation. These features lead to an overall
improved performance of ASP.NET applications.
Flexibility:
The entire .NET class library can be accessed by ASP.NET applications. You can
use the language that best applies to the type of functionality you want to
implement, because ASP.NET is language independent.
Configuration settings:
The application-level configuration settings are stored in an Extensible Markup
Language (XML) format. The XML format is a hierarchical text format, which is
easy to read and write. This format makes it easy to apply new settings to
applications without the aid of any local administration tools.
Security:
ASP.NET applications are secure and use a set of default authorization and
authentication schemes. However, you can modify these schemes according to the
security needs of an application.
In addition to this list of advantages, the ASP.NET framework makes it easy to
migrate from ASP applications.
Creating an ASP.NET Application
Use a text editor:
In this method, you can write the code in a text editor, such as Notepad, and
save the code as an ASPX file. You can save the ASPX file in the directory
C:inetpubwwwroot. Then, to display the output of the Web page in Internet
Explorer, you simply need to type http://localhost/.aspx in the Address box. If
the IIS server is installed on some other machine on the network, replace "localhost"
with the name of the server. If you save the file in some other directory, you
need to add the file to a virtual directory in the Default WebSite directory on
the IIS server. You can also create your own virtual directory and add the file
to it.
Use the VS.NET IDE:
In this method, you use the IDE of Visual Studio .NET to create a Web page in a
WYSIWYG manner. Also, when you create a Web application, the application is
automatically created on a Web server (IIS server). You do not need to create a
separate virtual directory on the IIS server.
From the preceding discussion, it is obvious that the development of ASP.NET Web
applications is much more convenient and efficient in Visual Studio .NET.
ASP.NET Web pages consist of HTML text and the code. The HTML text and the code
can be separated in two different files. You can write the code in Visual Basic
or C# . This separate file is called the code behind file. In this section,
you'll create simple Web pages by using VB as well as C#.
Before you start creating a Web page, you should be familiar with basic ASP.NET
syntax. At the top of the page, you must specify an @ Page directive to define
page specific attributes, such as language.
To specify the language as VB for any code output to be rendered on the page.
This line indicates that any code in the block, <% %>, on the page is compiled
by using VB.
To render the output on your page, you can use the Response.Write() method.
Creating a Visual Basic Web Application
You can create an ASP.NET application using Visual Basic by creating a Visual
Basic
Web Application project. To do so, complete the following steps:
1. Select File ® New ® Project. The New Project dialog box appears.
2. Select Visual Basic Projects from the Project Types pane.
3. Select ASP.NET Web Application from the Templates pane. The Name box contains
a default name of the application. The Location box contains the name of a Web
server where the application will be created. However, you can change the
default name and location. In this case, the name of the sample application is
SampleVB.
Deploying an ASP.NET Web Application
After creating and testing your ASP.NET Web applications, the next step is
deployment.
Deployment is the process of distributing the finished applications (without the
source code) to be installed on other computers.
In Visual Studio .NET, the deployment mechanism is the same irrespective of the
programming language and tools used to create applications. In this section,
you'll deploy the "Hello World" Web application that you created. You can deploy
any of the application that was created by using VB or C#. Here, you'll deploy
the application created by using VB. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Open the Web application project that you want to deploy. In this case, open
the SampleVB project.
2. Select File ® Add Project ® New Project to open the Add New Project dialog
box.
3. From the Project Types pane, select Setup and Deployment Projects.
From the Templates pane, select Web Setup Project.
4. Change the default name of the project. In this case, change it to "SampleVBDeploy."
5. Click OK to complete the process. The project is added in the Solution
Explorer window.

MCITP SQL Server: Business Intelligence
I need to set some personal objectives for the next six months and I’ve been
considering working towards the Microsoft MCITP SQL Server: Business
Intelligence certification.
This requires that I pass two exams:
* 70-445: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence – Implementation and
Maintenance
* 70-446 exam: Designing a Business Intelligence Infrastructure by Using
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Passing the 70-445 gives you the MCTS SQL Server BI certification. Passing the
70-446 gives you the MCITP. The 70-445 is a prerequisite to the 70-446.
According to the latest MCP figures, there aren’t that many MCITP BI developers
out there, so this may be a challenge I’ll take on.
From the company perspective, it will be a big plus as it will earn them their
third competency - Business Intelligence, and will enhance our Microsoft Gold
Partner status. Hitting this milestone should also yield a good bonus at the end
of the year! On a personal level, it will allow me to build on my existing
BusinessObjects and Performance Point Server skills and pick up more of the
Microsoft BI toolset.
I’ve worked with Microsoft SQL Server a great deal and am currently playing
around with SQL Server 2008. I’ve also used most of the Microsoft BI tools as
well; SSIS, SSAS (for cubes) and SSRS. Having looked through the exam
preparation guides, I think I can clear these two exams in the next few months.
I don’t think I’ll take any formal classroom based training for these exams. I’d
rather use my training budget on something else, possibly Crystal Reports or
BusinessObjects Data Integrator. Hence, I’ll be using the MS book MCTS
Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-445): Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Business
Intelligence—Implementation and Maintenance to get me going.
Once this is out of the way, I might start looking at Sharepoint, and portals in
general.

MCPD Web Developer exam 70-547 hints and tips
Following my post about studying toward
MCPD certification,
I’ve now taken the exam and am pleased to say I passed with a good score. The
exam 70-547 is about designing and developing web applications using ASP.NET
2.0. It focuses on the full software development lifecycle and covers planning,
architecture, design, testing and deployment, where as the prerequisite MCTS
exams cover more of the actual coding and implementation details.
My main study guide was the official Microsoft Press book, MCPD Self-Paced
Training Kit (Exam 70-547). It covered the syllabus thoroughly enough to get me
through the exam, but like most similar books wasn’t much fun to read. It’s over
700 pages, and after the first few hundred the content starts to get fairly
monotonous. It’s also difficult to skim because you might miss something
essential for the exam. If you’re an experienced developer then you might not
learn much, but if you’re new to coding then you should find plenty of useful
information about broader areas of software development, such as architecture,
data modelling and unit testing.
A lot of the testing chapters read like an advert for Visual Studio Team System
(VSTS) and aggressively promote its unit testing and web load testing
capabilities. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s a Microsoft exam after all,
but you will need Visual Studio Team Test if you want to work through the
practical exercises (an evaluation version is available). The unit testing in
VSTS is impressive, but doesn’t seem to offer much over the freely available
NUnit. The web load testing on the other hand is invaluable.
My best advice for the book is to read it in short frequent bursts. Try to read
a little bit every day and you’ll easily work through it, so don’t be
intimidated. If you find yourself slacking, just register for the exam and
you’ll soon become motivated. And remember to use the 15% exam discount voucher
that comes with the book.
My other study resource, which I also used for the
MCTS exams, was
the practice test from Testkingdom.com. The questions are very relevant to the
actual exam, and helped highlight areas to focus my study. The most useful
feature is that every answer has an explanation, so if you get one wrong you can
see why and hopefully fill a gap in your knowledge.
The exam isn’t easy, but many questions appeal to common sense as well as
technical expertise, and there aren’t any trick questions. There’s more than
enough time to work through the 40 multiple-choice questions, so be careful to
read each one closely and don’t panic. Some questions ask you to pick more than
one answer so follow the instructions carefully. The passing score is 700 out of
1000.
According to Microsoft’s statistics there are only 2,147 MCPD web developers
worldwide, so if you want to improve your skills, stand out in the job market,
or negotiate a promotion then certification could be a great career move.
My next goal is MCTS
certification for SQL Server and exam 70–431. Then it shouldn’t be too long
before the next generation of .NET 3.5 MCTS are available.
