There can't be that many 750K seat Exchange deployments out there. Do they mean 75K?

I suspect they do for all of the MCM tracks. The fee is to ensure that only serious people apply plus to cover the cost of the labs, meeting rooms, and presentation materials. Big companies need people with big experience. I don't pass the screening criteria for Exchange MCM (I've never done a 750K seat deployment of Exchange). But they've told me they'd let me in as a favor. :) But I can't afford the class, plus the travel, plus the loss of revenue (income) for 3 weeks. I wish I could. -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 10:38 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT: MCM certification On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 7:20 AM, Christopher Bodnar <[email protected]> wrote: > > Was reading this yesterday: > > http://blogs.metcorpconsulting.com/tech/?p=1101 > > And got to thinking about this again.
