A few months ago, Microsoft offered a beta exam for SBS 2008 configuration, 70-653;  many of us, like Phil Elder, who were in the SBS 2008 beta took advantage of our experience and sat for the exam.

I had heard from others who sat for the exam before me that it was straightforward to anyone who had worked with the beta and tried a few migrations.  Judging by my exam report from Prometric, that seemed to be true in my case;  I passed!

The exam didn’t seem as “hard” to me as my Internals exam;   my strongest area was Migration while my weakest questions involved Windows Mobile integration, which I have no experience with (I don’t have a WM phone.)

But, it’s done.
