Publisher's Synopsis
* We updated this book in Feb 2015 * 70-243 is an exam about administering System Center 2012. Topics covered include: Design and Plan System Center Configuration Manager Infrastructure Manage Operating System Deployment (OSD) Deploy Applications and Software Updates Manage Compliance Settings Manage Sites Manage Clients Manage inventory Manage Reports and Queries There is also the new System Center exam coded 70-247 that covers these topics: Design and Deploy System Center Configure the Fabric Configure and Deploy Virtual Machines and Services Configure System Center Infrastructure Configure System Center Integration The two exams share quite many common elements and study resources, so we recommend that you go for both together. The exam contents as of the time of this writing are based on SC pre-SP1. However, information included in this book can ALSO be applied to SC SP1. 70-243 has many questions on SCCM while 70-247 covers a lot of VMM stuff. We give you knowledge information relevant to the exam specifications. To be able to succeed in the real exams, you'll need to apply your earned knowledge to the question scenarios. Many of the exam questions are written to be less straight forward. They tend to be framed within the context of short scenarios. The exams are not too difficult. However, coverage is very comprehensive - a wide range of topics are presented in the official topic lists. The exams do not ask you to answer hundreds of questions. In other words, only a small fraction of the official topics will be presented. For the 247 exam in particular, the majority of questions are related to the Virtual Machine Manager. This ExamFOCUS book focuses on the more difficult topics that will likely make a difference in exam results. The book is NOT intended to guide you through every single official topic. You should therefore use this book together with other reference books for the best possible preparation outcome.
