CRM 4 Exam Prep: Installation and Deployment (Exam 633)
I’ve posted articles previously on the Dynamics CRM 4.0 Applications exam, and the Customization and Configuration exam, and it was recently pointed out to me that I’d never posted one on the Installation and
Deployment exam.
Sorry! I didn’t mean to disrespect this exam (even though I didn’t like it as much as the Customization and Configuration exam, and not nearly as much as the Applications exam which I liked so much I took it twice!)
I’ll start out with some links to resources that will help you prepare for the exam:
Here’s the Microsoft Learning exam prep page:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exams/dynamics/633.mspx
Here’s the single best source of exam prep material (the Implementation Guide): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1ceb5e01-de9f-48c0-8ce2-51633ebf4714&displaylang=en – (memorize the planning and installing chapters and you’ll get 40% of the required 70% right there!)
I recorded some of the instructor-led training sessions I made as part of the Partner Readiness Bootcamp Series I delivered for Microsoft over the course of the last couple years. (I really like them although I may not be the best judge as I always like my own stuff!) You can find a complete set of links to the recordings on the Learning Center on my new web site, www.IMGinc.net.
- Here’s a link to the Certification page in the Learning Center.
- Here are three videos I recorded that should be helpful in preparing for the 633 exam:
I hope you find this helpful, and good luck on the exam.

I came to your site in my search for useful stuff in preparation for the following exam:
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Installation and Deployment-Exam MB2-633.
It appears that your web site: http://www.imginc.net/ is not available any more. I’d like the learning center recordings you mentioned in this post.
Thanks.

Hello, Simon. Good catch! I made a career transition recently and work for a new company (www.magenium.com) now. Still focused on Dynamics CRM, though. The URLs have changed — basically anything that was previously http://www.imginc.net is now http://crm.magenium.com
I think most of the videos are still accessible. For example, see if you can get to this one: http://crm.magenium.com/images/stories/videos/install/installation_1.wmv
That’s a recorded walk-through of a practice exam I made once. I’ll see if I can find some others also and update this post with them as I find them. Anyway, let me know if you can get to the link above!
