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’s a link to the page specifically for the Installation and Deployment exam.

I hope you find this helpful, and good luck on the exam.
