70-656 - MCTS: Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack

Took it today and passed it. I don't know if I am one of the first 200 to pass it or not, which would make me a Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) Charter member, but we'll see.

Since a good majority of the test focuses on Softgrid aka Microsoft Application Virtualization, I thought I had a pretty good shot at passing the exam. I have a decent background in streaming applications with Softgrid and Citrix.

My weak spots on the test were in the Asset Inventory Service and the Desktop Error Reporting sections, because I haven't dealt with those programs as much as I have Softgrid and the Diagnostic and Recovery Tool (DaRT - the updated and renamed ERD Commander).

If you are wondering what I am talking about, you can check out the exam details here, and learn about MDOP here.

Hi there.. did you take it early enough to be charter member? I did it the 06.08.08 and I don't think I did. (The test center was summer closed so had no option to take it earlier).
