Microsoft plans to retest two Vista exams, 70-621 and 70-622, that were originally beta tested in January and February this year.
Beginning next week, Microsoft plans to retest two Vista exams, 70-621 and 70-622, that were originally beta tested in January and February this year. According to an e-mail notification sent to beta candidates of those exams, Microsoft "errantly left out" coverage of some topics that were listed on its exam objective domain.
With new exams for Windows Vista, Exchange 2007, Office 2007 and Microsoft Dynamics in the pipeline in the next few months, Microsoft has relaunched its popular exam discount program. Microsoft divides the discount among partner groups this way:
* Registered members: 25 percent, limited to five vouchers per registered organization.
* Certified Partners: 25 percent, limited to 25 vouchers per partner organization.
* Gold Certified Partners: 30 percent, limited to 100 vouchers per partner organization.
Vouchers must be ordered by June 30, 2007, with redemption requirements based on the exam topic. For example, vouchers for SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, BizTalk, Live Communications Server and Windows Mobile expire August 31, 2007. Because Microsoft has yet to go live with the Windows Vista, Exchange 2007, Office 2007 and the new Microsoft Dynamics exams, vouchers for those exams won't expire until Nov. 30, 2007.
