The Transcender Team Weblog

On the heels of several announcements from Microsoft in the past month, we have confirmed that 83-640 TS: Windows Server 2008, Active Directory Configuring – the version utilizing performance-based testing – is released in the U.S. (For a recap of the differences between 70-640 and 83-640, check our previous blog post.)

The test’s release was actually announced right after Tech*Ed, but at the time we couldn’t find 83-640 offered on Prometric’s site. Today, however, it’s official: you can register for the 83-640 in the U.S. — and, in fact, several of our team plan to do so (with our shiny Get on the Bus free exam vouchers, no less).

Microsoft has announced a phased roll-out for 83-640 in other countries throughout 2009. We have confirmed the release of this exam in English in the U.S., Canada, Ireland, and Singapore. If you are in other countries, I strongly suggest you contact Prometric directly to ask which test is being offered in your country and preferred language, and to ask if 70-640 has been deprecated in your area.
