MCSE Restructure (Again)

I went to my Microsoft Transcript as at the moment and I see 3 new Certification Paths - MCSE Mobility, Productivity and Cloud Platform & Infrastructure.

The existing certification will retire in April 2017 to replace the new ones.
Anyone who has either:

MCSE Private Cloud or Server Infrastructure will be awarded MCSE Cloud Platform & Infrastructure
- MCSE Enterprise Devices and Apps will be awarded MCSE Mobility

- MCSE Data Platform or Business Intelligence certification will be awarded MCSE Data Management and Analytics
- MCSE Messaging, Communication or SharePoint will be awarded MCSE Productivity
If you have not got the certs yet you can pass one of the elective exam path (just one!) to become either MCSE Cloud Platform & Infrastructure, MCSE Mobility, MCSE Data Management and Analytics or MCSE Productivity.

The existing certification will retire in April 2017 to replace the new ones.
Also the new MCSE will be annual certifications.

The certification gets easier but it can be annoying at the same time when it is keep on changing.
Also this annual subcription based Certificate, some people call it like money making business because at the end I pass exams based on skills and knowledge.

Help/Service Desk, Mobile-Style!

I purchase the Logitech headset with the Microphone/headphone socket and the Microphone/Headphone adaptor so I can connect to my Samsung mobile phone that way I can do Service Desk/HelpDesk any where and on the move.

Passing Cisco CCNA Exam

After I pass 2 cisco exams to become Cisco CCNA. I got to say they are the hard as hell.
The good thing is I pass the 2 before they retire.
The exams I pass was 100-101 CCENT (ICND1) & 200-101 CCNA (ICND2).

I have to study fast as the exam retires and end up doing the new version of the course 100-105.
I watched a lot of Cisco videos bundle CCNA, CCDA, CCNP and labs from my course provider. Also I got a new Cisco book 100-105 which is the new version if keep my skills up to date.

Remember this:
I am no Cisco expert but I have lots more to learn on the Cisco.
Understand the IPv4, Switch, commands and practice with labs.
If you do not have the equipment - buy some.
Watch some Cisco Videos.

Windows 7 - Sorry to Interrupt

I was rebuilding a Laptop and reinstall Windows 7.
Then I come across this.
You get this when you install an outdated Windows 7 (not SP1).
Microsoft is really pushing you to upgrade to Windows 10.
