None of the courses that will qualify you for the exam will prepare you for the exam. They all follow the same blueprint.

From the exam blueprint

quote:

2. Intended Audience
2.1 Intended Audience
A candidate for the VCP-DCV certification has approximately six months experience working with a vSphere
implementation. They are typically infrastructure personnel who are capable of installing and configuring ESXi
hosts and can use VMware vCenter™ Server to monitor, manage, troubleshoot and administer virtual
machines. The successful candidate will most likely have additional industry-recognized general IT
certifications or the equivalent experience (typically 2-5 years).

I suppose that's accurate, pretty much every vendor is the same.

:D I like the 'capital up' one - back in my helpdesk days I got asked more than once whether a number was uppercase or lowercase when advising customers of new passwords

"your new password is internet5, i, n, t, e, r, n, e, t, 5"

"IS THAT A CAPITAL 5 !!!!???!!"

"err..."

So what's everybody's work load on pre-t-day?

I don't even know why I came in today. Should have "worked from home". At least traffic wasn't bad.

I worked because I wanted to get poo poo done. A department director wondered why I wasn't taking off after a 13 day work week, told him poo poo needed to be done. he just said we need to talk about when I should call "enough work is enough for one week"

It's called caring about what you do, not taking holiday, family can wait servers/storage/network can not.

That's sometimes true, but sometimes it isn't.

I don't really keep up to date with your family life but if there are people you're close to, storage can wait a few minutes while you give them a call.

If you're standing on the razor's edge like that, it's only a matter of time before everything fails. If your system is so fragile that it can't handle a day without attention, you've already failed.

It's fine that you don't mind taking time away from family to focus on work, but what's going to happen if you get a flat tire or you sprain an ankle or any other number of emergencies?

Caveat: If you're really involved in some high stakes business and you've got millions of dollars on the line, I can understand. I'm pretty sure you're not about to corner wall street with a new HFT algorithm or something though.

As a sysadmin you will never have any real power at your job and the amount of money you will make will be small, relative to the amount needed to have power.

Find a new career if you want to be a rich warlord of something.

DAF go outside and find something cool to do or hang out with some people. I know a lot of tech people who never thought they would enjoy hiking/outdoors who turn out to love it because they can just unplug and relax for a while.

Can we answer this over PM we are getting off topic? You are free to post anything after but this thread should remain on IT and not have me responding to a bunch of granpas over 30 years old who should be thinking about kids and retirement.... I mean come on, SA is at a disconnect about this.
