Failed Exam 70-462

  • Hi

    I failed in Exam 70-462 . Exam was much harder than expected. I managed to get 643 out of 700. I would say that there are so many question from High Availability which was unexpected. Microsoft skilled measure is not good particularly for this exam . I have passed my exam 70-461 ,463 on first attempt. So I really want to pass this one i order to earn my first certification.any suggestion would be much welcome

    Thanx.

  • Sorry to hear that and good luck in the future.

    Do you have the report that shows which areas you were weak in? I might start there, reviewing those requirements and concepts.

  • Thanx for reply.Its high avaiblity and instance configuration feture

  • My guess is that you need to learn more about how AlwaysOn Ags work, as well as brush up on any mirroring/logshipping/replication/clustering stuff you don't know well

  • What's very important for that exam is the order in which you do things.

    E.g.:

    * what are the steps to set-up mirroring

    * what are the steps to set-up always-on

    * what are the steps to update a cluster

    And so on.

    For replication you really need to know the difference between the different types of replication and which one to use in which scenario.

  • I'd recommend you set up some VMs (VMWare Player is free for non-commercial usage iirc), set up clustering, set up Availability Groups, set up Mirroring (one at a time) and play with them to get familiar with them. There's nothing like real, hands-on experience.

    Consider finding out how as part of your studies.

    Since we're recommenfing VMWare Player, the VMWare website may well be a good place to start, along with google.
