news about MCDST-->Vista exam 70-621
Two things:
- The info I have says 70-621 is still slated to go live on May 17, so in just a few weeks.
- I do not know anything more than you do about the beta results...
- In case any of you are wondering about the 40% discount on 70-621 for MCDSTs (we promoted this a while back, before the exam live date slipped...) will be availalbe sometime after the exam goes live; you haven't missed that offer. When i get details i'll poast it here.
And by two things, I meant two things give or take one more thing. If that wasn't clear to start with.

I've just checked my vue account ...PASSED !!!Anonymous

Indeed Pearson/Vue does generally post the results of beta exams sooner than the Microsoft MCP Transcript page, and owing to that I also see that I have passed the upgrade exam 70-621. Though it makes the results of 70-622 meaningless, I am still waiting for the results of my 70-623 exam, which I took precisely one hour earlier than the 621. Waiting with bated breath! :) Mitch Garvis ...not quite ready to add MCITP to my collection of certs just yet ;)Anonymous

No results from Prometric yet...Anonymous
May 11, 2007
Odd. I normally use Pearson/Vue but registered with Prometric for the beta resit to get around the problem of not being able to register online for the same beta twice. I had no trouble using the site at the time and even went back and rescheduled my beta resit without drama. But now it just says "Your login account was not found". That can't be good. :(Anonymous

I've just checked my vue account ...Failed... na ja....Anonymous
May 14, 2007
I take only the first Beta because i had no time for the second. On Vue-Website the status is still "taken"Anonymous
May 14, 2007
I would like to take test where can I find study material for it please email me jrp0@yahoo.comAnonymous
May 14, 2007
Prometric results are available now. Says I passed, but the MCP Member site doesn't show it yet in my transcript.Anonymous
May 14, 2007
Prometric revived my account yesterday, and then this morning (in UTC+10 land) it now shows I've passed. :) My MCP Transcript also shows it as a passed exam, but there's no new certification listed.Anonymous
May 14, 2007
It's better NOT to list certification now. Wait till 622 results release. If someone passes both 621 and 622+620, use the eariler exam date as his certification date.Anonymous
May 14, 2007
Just on that topic... what is the actual story regarding certification after 70-621? According to the prep guide page - http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-621.mspx - the exam completes the requirements for MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician. There's no mention of the MCTS. The only Microsoft page I can find that mentions both is down the bottom of http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/vistaupgrade/default.mspxAnonymous
May 14, 2007
Yeah, just checked my prometric a/c, it shows PASSED.Anonymous
May 14, 2007
Anyone knows when will the 623 result release??Anonymous
May 15, 2007
Have you checked your transcript at the MCP Member site? Prometric shows I passed 621. 622 & 623 still show as Tested. However, my transcript on the MCP Member site shows I passed 623. It says the following: Microsoft Certified IT Professional Apr 04, 2007 Consumer Support Technician Anyone else seeing the same thing?Anonymous
May 15, 2007
No change here. I have 621 listed as passed successfully on my MCP Member Site transcript, but there's no new credential listed.Anonymous
May 15, 2007
I'm using my new prometric account to take the 621 exam, therefore it didn't listed in my MCP transcript. What should I do to in order to put my 621 record into my MCP transcript?Anonymous
May 15, 2007
Passed is listed at both locations for me too...on to the Longohorn betas at TechEd!Anonymous
May 15, 2007
Hmm...Vus shows me as having passed 621, but still nothing on my MCP transcript. Any ideas why other than the standard "two week waiting list" blurb?Anonymous
May 15, 2007
Prometric now shows passed for 622...yahoo!!!Anonymous
May 15, 2007
same to me about Vue. shows a passed on 622 but still nothing on MCP transcript .... prometic didn't show a pass but MCP transcript shows MCITP customer support....Anonymous
May 16, 2007
621 shows on my transcript now, but isn't there supposed to be a credential there as well or will that show up after the exam goes live?Anonymous
May 17, 2007
Finally, have 622 shown on transcript (taken on VUE) but no MCITP yetAnonymous
May 17, 2007
I passed 622 as well. If it's the same deal as 620, the exam shows up 1st on the transcript, then the add'l cert shows up 1-2 days later... Congrats JimAnonymous
May 18, 2007
Again like Rob.au asked, what do we actually get for passing the 71-621? According to http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/vistaupgrade/default.mspx (as pointed out) & here http://blogs.msdn.com/trika/archive/2006/12/05/december-6-vista-certification-live-meeting-and-info-re-mcdst-to-vista.aspx you get the MCTS & the MCITP status. However I just rang up the MCP helpdesk as the exam is now on the MCP transcript, however no new credential is shown and they stated that you only get the MCITP status not the MCTS. Trika, would you be able to clear this up please?Anonymous
May 18, 2007
Can I get another yahoo...passed 623! Re-taking 624 Tuesday, which I wasn't even close to prepared for back in December.Anonymous
May 18, 2007
failed 623, so sad~Anonymous
May 20, 2007
Congratulations Adrian, Mitch, Phil, BT, Andy, Chance, Paul, Jim... BT: If you created a new user ID at Prometric NOT using your existing MCP ID, you will need to contact your MCP Service Center and ask them to merge those records. http://www.microsoft.com/learning/support/worldsites.mspx Kensai, hope you pass it next time. All, I'm checking in to what's up with transcript stuff.Anonymous
May 20, 2007
Is there anybody, who has taken only the first Beta and has get a score for this? My exam is still "taken".Anonymous
May 20, 2007
I've taken the first Beta only and Prometric is still showing "Tested". No result yet.Anonymous

Not only problem about new credential, I can't access Logo builder....Anonymous
May 21, 2007
Hi Trika, RSC told me that the bonus voucher code is valid until september '07. Can you please confirm this? thx, KlausAnonymous
May 21, 2007
I'm getting the same as you Paul. In summary: Prometric shows 621 as passed. MCP Member Site Transcript shows 621 as passed, but doesn't show any new credential(s), only my existing ones. Trying to access the logo builder comes up with: "We are unable to confirm your participation as a user for the Microsoft Certification Logo Builder. This site may be accessed only by MCP members who have achieved a Microsoft certification. If you believe you have reached this page in error, please sign-out of Passport and sign-in again with your MCP user login credentials." Tried signing out and back in again as per instructions, no change.Anonymous
May 21, 2007
I actually got the results of "pass" on Friday for the 71-621. But it wasn't coming up with the new creds or letting me into the logo builder so I spoke to the MCP helpdesk, who said that it may be a technical fault as the pass has been on my account for over 48 hours (according to them it can take up to 48 hours for a new cred to show up, even if the exam is there). They are currently taking a look into this for me. I'm not sure if they meant just my account or everyones though. -KenAnonymous
May 21, 2007
Hi Trika, I have the same issue as Paul & Rob.au. My Vue account shows 621 as passed. MCP membersite shows only the 621 as passed but no new credentials. When I have tried to access Logo Builder, an error occur and I am redirected to https://accountservices.msn.com page. Must I call the MCP HelpDesk? Thanks.Anonymous
May 21, 2007
Same here, first beta taken only, with Vue Shows 'taken' no results anywhere yet..Anonymous
May 22, 2007
Just to let you guys know, according to the MCP Helpdesk no-one can access the Logo builder site as it has been down for maintenance since Friday. Should be up soon. -KenAnonymous
May 22, 2007
Anyone know when 070-621 will be available for non beta MCDST people like me ? Just want to get the upgrade path out of the way before I have to do the Server 2008 upgrade for my MSCA in Server 2003.Anonymous
May 22, 2007
According to the post Trika posted, the 70-621 should be live already, however I'm unable to access the Vue site at the minute to confirm whether or not the info that Trika was given is up to date. -KenAnonymous
May 22, 2007
Hi Trika, I also am one of the first beta test takers with VUE that only shows "Taken" for results. Have they released the results for the first exam yet? danAnonymous
May 22, 2007
Can someone please give a definative answer, on 70-621. is it mcst, is it mcitp. and when is microsoft going to get the websites in gear. what is apple doing the web sites.Anonymous
May 22, 2007
70-621 earns the MCTS: Vista and MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician. Your transcript should (and will, eventually) show EXAM 621 and the two certifications I just listed. Your transcript will NOT show EXAM 620 or 622 (the direct path to earn MCTS Vista and MCITP EST). So if you plan to use 620 as an elective on something, you'll need to take that exam separately. The tools team is working on why the exams are showing up on transcripts but not the certifications. Anyone have a contact at Apple we can call???Anonymous

Hi Trika, I only took the first beta test with VUE that only shows "Taken" for results. Have they released the results for the first exam yet? ChardAnonymous
May 23, 2007
Yeah, when will the 40% off discount voucher be available for current MCDST's? When it does come out, where do I go to get the voucher code?Anonymous
May 23, 2007
Trika, There seems to be a lot of people on here that took only the first test and still have no results - can you just let us know if this is expected/being worked on? Thanks much!Anonymous

re: Definitive Answer
70-621 earns the MCTS: Vista and MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician." Trika, can you confirm that the beta exam 71-621 will earn MCTS: Vista and MCITP: EST? Can the 71-621 be used as an elective exam towards an MCSE certification on the 2003 track? Thanks.

May 24, 2007
Finally had to call the RSC to find out what was the holdup on getting the credentials to show up. The rep said mine should show up in 3 to 5 business days. Trika, have you heard anything more on this problem?Anonymous
May 24, 2007
Things we're aware of and checking on:
- First beta results--where are they
- Transcripts to show not just exams but also associated credentials for 620 (MCSA and MCSE credit), 621, 622, 623--Known issue! sorry for the inconvenience but do not spin your wheels contacting the helpdesk... it is being worked on mrsteve: 1. again, confirmed: 621 = MCTS and MCITP: EST and 2. No, 621 can not be used as elective credit.

May 28, 2007
Mine still shows Taken on VUE as well... Although now it shows a 2nd 71-621 with the status No-Show??? They said they'll get back to me when I applied for the 2nd exam but never did!!! Trika, any idea what I can do to sort this out? Cheers, Ray.Anonymous
May 29, 2007
Trika sez "the 40% voucher for MCDSTs is in the works". My question is : If I take the 621 test with the 40% off voucher and fail the test, will I get 40% off the next time I take the test? Is it a one-time use coupon?Anonymous
May 29, 2007
