Celebrating 10 Years as a Microsoft MVP!

on
Back from my vacation, I am thrilled to share that I have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for the 10th consecutive year. In addition to being recognized as an expert within Teams, I am have also been recognized as an expert with Microsoft Copilot. This means a lot to me.  Being an MVP has been an incredibly rewarding journey, both personally and professionally. It has provided me with countless opportunities to grow, learn, and connect with like-minded professionals who share a passion for technology and innovation.  The award is not just a title; it's a testament to the hard work, dedication, and contributions to the tech community. It's a privilege to be part of such an esteemed group of individuals who share the same love for technology, and sharing their knowledge about it.  As I reflect on the past decade, I am thankful for the experiences and knowledge I've gained. This recognition motivates me to continue sharing my expertise, mentor

74-322 passed

on
Back in April, I wrote a post on why I thought taking the Beta 74-322 was a mistake on my part, and how certain I was I had failed.

Well, I obviously know more than I give myself credit for. Yesterday I received a mail telling me I had passed.

Since it's been a while since the actual test I no longer remember all the details, but it is obviously an exam I passed based on experience, and not studying.

If  you are preparing for this exam, you should familiarize yourself with large deployments, voice traffic and true UC. An experienced technician should probably know all of this by heart, but if you are unsure of your own skills. Don't just take this exam. Try reading some of the TechNet library docs on the subject, and go through some of the nexthop posts on the subjects.
