Hi Guys, I have been thinking ALOT over the last few weeks about doing some Certifications in the CompTIA, the ones I fancy doing are: CompTIA A+ CompTIA Network+ and CompTIA Server+ Does anyone know where I can go too check prices etc And lastly is it worth it the CompTIA Certifications? Thanks, Ian.

Yeah, you can download Exchange Server 2007 and just install the managment tools on a 32-bit OS, i've got it on my work pc and works like a charm!

Dont really have an idol, I just push my self as much as possible.

You shouldnt be using OEM on 50 machines really, Volume Licensing?

If you can get the budget for an Exchange Server 2007 (or 2010 when its released) box then I would go down that route.

We run a Exchange Server 2003 Hosted service with running Outlook (RPC over HTTPS). We may be going over too Exchange Server 2007 which is gonna be a nightmare maybe lol
