Hi All I was beginning to think this list doesnt exist :-) , I also preparing myself for my SP Lab, using the IPexpert Workbook, been through quite a bit of it, some petty mistakes but generally, alot of it is well structured and understandable
I know its a bit unconventional, but this is my first Lab, i know alot of people do the RS route first and then the SP. I understand that and i would agree with it BUT my situation is a bit complicated, i have been working in an SP environment for the last 4 years and with MPLS for the last 2 and a half years and i would like to do the lab while i still have some of my SP knowledge still fresh. I know its not about rushing through the Labs but i am thinking its going to take me more than 6 momths to a year to get ready for the SP LAB but i really dont have the time to do the RS one first, since my intention is to stay in the SP environment anyway. However, i have indeed spent alot of time going through the Ipexpert RS workbook, plus thank God for Scott Morris Audio tutorials, to make sure that i cover just ask much in the RS part as possible I know its a risky way, but hopefully it will work out, infact i still intend to the RS after SP--- Maybe , hahaha Anyway, your comments or advise will be welcome, otherwise i hope to get your help with the workbook as i go through it Regards MM On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 4:02 AM, Jared Scrivener <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Everyone, > > > > I thought I'd send out an email to this list and find out how many active > subscribers we have.
