Practice Exam for the SysOps Administrator Certification Exam

Last week I booked in and did the SysOps Admin practise exam.

Based on my working experience with AWS and some materials I read, I had scored 75%. Technically that's a pass.

I would imagine the real test would be somewhat harder, but at least doing the practise exam gives you an idea of what your current strengths and weaknesses are.

The results look like below :

Overall Score: 75%

Topic Level Scoring:
Domain 1 - Monitoring and Metrics: 66%
Domain 2 - High Availability: 100%
Domain 3 - Analysis: 100%
Domain 4 - Deployment & Provisioning: 75%
Domain 5 - Data Management: 100%
Domain 6 - Security : 66%
Domain 7 - Networks: 33%


With some more work over the next week, I will then book in for the real exam.

An example of what can be done in the Exchange Management Shell is to run a PowerShell script to list all the mailboxes on the Exchange server to a file. You can output columns based on display name, size of the mailbox, last logon, and other available mailbox attributes. You can also schedule a batch migration of mailboxes from one database to another such as the migration of mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. Scheduling the PowerShell Script Once you have written a PowerShell script and utilised the Exchange cmdlets, you can run it with no problems inside the Exchange Management Shell. If you were to try...
