SBSC text books going free – first come, first served

We’re having a clear out in the office and just come across a couple of ‘Small Business Specialist Primer & 70-282 Exam Preparation Guide! ’ books, part of Harry Brelsford’s SMB Series.

To be clear, these books are now out of date and will not help you in maintaining or achieving SBSC status, in light of recent announcements re: new exams. As a reminder, as a Small Business Specialist partner, you must employ or contract with at least one person at each location who has passed one of the five technical exams in the following list:

• 70-653: TS: Windows Small Business Server 2008, Configuring

• 70-654: TS: Windows Essential Business Server 2008, Configuring

• 70-236 TS: Exchange Server 2007, Configuring

• 70-631: TS: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Configuring

• 70-655 TS: Windows Vista and Server Operating Systems, Preinstalling for OEMs

Note: If you passed either Exam 70-282: Designing, Deploying and Managing a Network Solution for Small- and Medium-Sized Business or Exam 74-134: Preinstalling Microsoft Products and Technologies to receive your Small Business Specialist designation, your exam credentials must be updated by 31 October, 2010. See qualifying exams above to help you retain the value of your Small Business Specialist partner designation and Microsoft Certified Partner (MCP) credential.

Taking the above into consideration, you may still like a free copy of this book for your reference materials. If you do, please email sbscuk@microsoft.com with your full name, company name and postal address. We will only be able to post books to UK addresses and allocation will be on a first come first served basis.
