Today I passed the 70-663 Designing and Deploying Messaging Solutions with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and thus obtained the MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator on Exchange 2010, my second MCITP certification.
This was not an easy exam. The exam covers everything having to do with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 except Unified Messaging. While the focus of the 70-662 exam is configuring Exchange, the focus of 70-663 is Designing and Deploying Exchange. Do not think that this exam is not technical as it has a good amount of technical content so do not forget what you learned from 70-662.
The majority of my preparation was done by reading the TechNet Library for Exchange 2010 and taking two Microsoft courses that came with my TechNet Professional subscription. My recommendation is to utilize TechNet and the Exchange team blogs to cover the material as well setup a lab environment.
This certification took almost a year for me to complete due to many set backs, but I am glad it is over with.
Next in line is the CompTIA Linux+ and LPIC-1 combination and possibly a SQL Server 2008 certification or VMware VCA.
