Hi Michael, Congrats for making it! Was that your first attempt? In that case, I'm really impressed. Otherwise, I'm really impressed too :)
Thanks a lot for your feedback. My lab isn't scheduled yet, but no doubt your advices will be useful! I'll take my lab in Brussels too, so that's nice to have your opinion on this point. I'm pretty glad to hear troubleshooting is important. As a support engineer, this is my all-day work. So I have that going for me ! Can you share your impressions about the IPX workbooks compared to the actual lab? Did you find them helpful and close enough of the lab? Did you use other workbooks to prepare the lab? Which did you find the most helpful. I hope some day we will have the opportunity to work together. I live in France, so, after all, we are almost neighbors ;) Andre. 2014-03-09 8:18 GMT+01:00 Michael Ruetz <[email protected]>: > Dear Guys, > I was able to pass the lab on Tuesday last week! :) > > A few (maybe helpful?) comments form my side: > > *Troubleshooting is key!* > And therefore time for troubleshooting is key.
