I did both exams in beta while attending MMS 2012. Sadly I failed for Exam 70-247. The results for exam 70-246 aren’t in yet. So these are exiting times for me. Just contacted Bob Cornelissen and he passed for Exam 70-247! Awesome! Congrats Bob.

Hi Marnix,
because of your post I just checked the Prometric site - don't you see already the information about 71-246?
Mine is passed - I took it on the MMS too

Hi Pete
Congrats man! No, 70-246 hasn't a status yet, only TESTED.
Did you also pass for 70-247?
Cheers,
Marnix
I passed the beta from 71-246, the other one.. failed :(
The result is seen in this moment only on Prometric!
I passed 71-246, seen it on Prometric ;) 247 failed... but 1 from 2 is ok :)
Hey Marnix,
Bad luck on the 247 exam, it was hard I thoughy, but I did pass it though!
I've just checked the prometric site again and my 246 has just changed from tested to passed!
Cheers,
SB
Congrats Byty.
I passed that one as well :)
Hi Steve.
Good to hear man, congrats! Exam 071-247 was tough and I was unprepared so I think it's normal I flunked. At this moment I have built my self a testlab in order to train. So next time I'll pass as well :).
Cheers,
Marnix
Hi Marnix,
I did not took 247... :-)

I am looking at getting this book for the exam "Microsoft System Center 2012 Unleashed" what do you think?
Hi Ian.
Funny thing is, just today I got the book delivered at home. A quick glance in this book shows me this book is a high level overview of all SC 2012 components which is a good start but nothing more. In order to pass for those examns you really need good handson experience with the SC2012 products. For 071-246 you need handson experience with maintaining such an environment and for 071-247 more experience with designing amd building it. 247 killed me since I lacked the required skills, bit I am working on them now. As a matter of a fact I will soon post an article about the adviced books and available courses (paid and free) in order to be well equipped for these exams.
Cheers,
Marnix
Hi Marnix.
I will be watching this space ! Thanks Ian
