Wrong diploma

by eliasen 27. September 2006 18:49

Hi

I received the diploma for passing the 74-135 exam in BizTalk server 2004 the other day.

And... well... see if you can spot the error:

I have phoned support. They will correct it and send me another diploma. Until then, I am very proud to be the only person in the world (unless anyone else has gotten the same diploma?) that is certified in BizTalk Server 2003 :D

Just to let everybody know, Microsoft have corrected the problem, and they are now ready to ship new "MCTS: BizTalk Server 2004" certificates to everyone who has the famous "MCTS: BizTalk Server 2003" certificate.

I have allready ordered mine, and am awaiting its arrival in up to 6 weeks Smile

I had the same problem, and ordered the corrected 2004 certificate. When I received it, it was the same incorrect 2003 certificate.

I then passed my MCPD:EAD, and one of the five certificates I received was for Sql Server, which wasn't even an exam I took. When I called support, they denied it.

I have officially given up on their Welcome Kits. As long as my transcript is posted correctly, I'm good.

Gotta love that outsourcing to Singapore.

Yeah, they really know what they are doing. After sending them 3-4 mails about this issue, I got a mail stating that in order to change my name they'd have to see proof that I have changed my name, such as a my drivers license or something like that.

Really, how on earth they got to thinking I wanted to change my name is beyond me.

Anyway, I was contacted on phone by a lady from MS, who said that they have corrected the problem, so until further notice, I trust her Smile

I shouldn't have trusted her, it seems. I hav ereceived the new certificate today, but it is the genereic MCTS certificate and not the BizTalk 2004 specific one :-(

Those support fellows.. do they actually know what they are doing?
