You're mixing "marketing" and "product" decisions with technical ones. We need to test to _technical_ ones, even if the exam names are "marketed." > Oh, Bryan, why do you have to misinterpret everything I write?

I was *not* talking about software issues.- No, I got 100% of your point. And you're continuing to miss mine. I don't want my basic enterprise object authentication and naming information on a Windows Server if I can help it -- even if I sync to it. > You wrote more than once!

It should be an exam set that is based on UNIX/Linux being the _backbone_ of your enterprise, and not just for Windows. And that includes in how the Samba exam should be written, or any exams that complement it with or without Samba file services, but general UNIX-Linux and Windows interoperability. I'm not interested in writing objectives and tasks to an exam that tests standalone/department-level integration that I can get out of a cookbook. -- Bryan J.
