Acknowledgments

It took a lot of hard work and patience to complete this book, as it does all publications. Thanks to Jeff Kellum and Denise Santoro Lincoln for being patient and considerate despite the scheduling setbacks and for retraining me on the format changes. Also, the production team of Christine O’Connor and Judy Flynn were top-notch and a joy to work with. They did an impeccable job making sure we were not just technically sound but also grammatically correct!

Thanks to Rawlinson Rivera for helping get this book going and for recommending me for this project. I hope you are feeling better and look forward to our next project! One of our pinch hitters was Jabez Gan Ming Teik, who really came through by getting a chapter reworked after a change in objectives on the Microsoft exam.

This book was a bit of a test for me and caused me to have to rely on a number of colleagues for a little help with developing the content. Without Erik Gustafson, Mike Hodson, and Siegfried Jagott, this book would not have been possible.

Last, I’d like to thank both the Monster Beverage Company and Hearthroast for fueling the late-night writing sessions with Lo-Carb Monster and home-roasted coffee.

About the Author

Joel Stidley has been working in the IT field for over 12 years and has been a computer fanatic for much longer. He obtained his first Microsoft certification in 1999 and is currently both an MCSE and MCTS. At the beginning of his IT career, he was supporting MS-DOS and Windows for Workgroups clients on a Novell NetWare network at a small manufacturing company. Shortly thereafter, he discovered the joys of Windows NT Server and led the charge in converting that company from a Novell NetWare directory to a Windows NT domain. He also convinced the company’s engineering department to switch from the SunOS-based workstations to new Windows NT 4.0 Workstation machines. Joel has since taken on numerous other projects, from a number of Active Directory and Exchange Server migrations to deploying large-scale virtualization environments.

In 2004, Joel founded ExchangeExchange.com, a Microsoft Exchange–focused community website where he blogs and provides forums for discussing Exchange, PowerShell, certification, and general Windows information. In the last few years, he has also contributed to MCITP: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Messaging Design and Deployment Study Guide: Exams 70-237 and 70-238 (Sybex, 2008) and was lead author on Professional PowerShell for Exchange Server 2007 SP1 (Wrox, 2008). Currently he is a solutions architect at Terremark Worldwide Inc. where he works with a variety of directory, storage, virtualization, and messaging technologies. He currently lives in the Dallas area with his wife and two children.

He obtained his first Microsoft certification in 2002 and is currently an MCSE and an MCSA. The last few years he has spent helping grow an IT consulting business and setting up an IT outsourcing MSP from the ground up. He recently relocated to the Dallas area and now works as a solutions architect for Terremark Worldwide Inc. When not shooting womp rats back home, Erik enjoys drinking piña coladas and getting caught in the rain.

Mike Hodson has a bachelor of science in mathematics from Texas Woman’s University and has worked in the IT industry for more than 11 years, receiving his first Microsoft certification in 1998. He has been working with desktop virtualization for more than 6 years and recently has been deeply involved with server virtualization projects.

Siegfried Jagott works as a senior systems architect and team lead for the Messaging and Collaboration team at Siemens IT Solutions located in Munich, Germany. He is part of the Siemens-central architecture team that works closely together with Microsoft to plan future enhancements of not only Windows and Exchange but also other products. For the past 10 years, he has been involved in planning, designing, and implementing some of the world’s largest Windows and Exchange Server infrastructures for various international customers, including Siemens.

In addition, he is hosting a monthly column for Windows IT Magazine called “Exchange & Outlook UPDATE: Outlook Perspectives” and writes about Outlook 2007–related topics. He is also a frequent writer for various international magazines and speaks on conferences about Windows- and Exchange-related topics. He was also a contributing author for MCITP: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Messaging Design and Deployment Study Guide: Exams 70-237 and 70-238 (Sybex, 2008).

In his spare time, he is actively engaged in a carnival club as a vice president and likes to go skiing in the Alps or traveling around the world.

Introduction

Microsoft has recently changed its certification program to contain three primary series: Technology, Professional, and Architect. The Technology Series of certifications is intended to allow candidates to target specific technologies and is the basis for obtaining the Professional Series and Architect Series of certifications. The certifications contained within the Technology Series consist of one to three exams, focus on a specific technology, and do not include job-role skills. By contrast, the Professional Series of certifications focus on a job role and are not necessarily focused on a single technology but rather a comprehensive set of skills for performing the job role being tested. The Architect Series of certifications offered by Microsoft includes premier certifications that consist of passing a review board made up of previously certified architects. To apply for the Architect Series of certifications, you must have a minimum of 10 years of industry experience.

When obtaining a Technology Series certification, you are recognized as a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) on the specific technology or technologies that you have been tested on. The Professional Series certifications include Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD). Passing the review board for an Architect Series certification will allow you to become a Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA).

This book has been developed to give you the critical skills and knowledge you need to prepare for the exam requirement for obtaining the MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuring (Exam 70-643).

The Microsoft Certified Professional Program

Since the inception of its certification program, Microsoft has certified more than 2 million people. As the computer network industry continues to increase in both size and complexity, this number is sure to grow—and the need for proven ability will also increase. Certifications can help companies verify the skills of prospective employees and contractors.

Microsoft has developed its Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) program to give you credentials that verify your ability to work with Microsoft products effectively and professionally. Several levels of certification are available based on specific suites of exams. Microsoft has recently created a new generation of certification programs:

Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) The MCTS can be considered the entry-level certification for the new generation of Microsoft certifications. The MCTS certification program targets specific technologies instead of specific job roles. You must take and pass one to three exams.
