Comment réussir l’examen « Managing Office 365 Identities and Requirements (70-346) »
Dans mon plus récent article, je vous ai donné quelques conseils sur comment il faut se préparer pour étudier les examens Managing Office 365 Identities and Requirements (70-346) et Enabling Office 365 Services (70-347). Dans ce billet, je décrirai le cheminement exact que j’ai suivi afin de réussir le premier de ceux-ci. Vous allez rapidement vous rendre compte que le parcours choisi est relativement simple, mais il prend beaucoup de temps. Il est inutile de me demander des exemples de questions et je vous décourage d’en faire autant, car, si, d’une manière ou d’une autre, Microsoft apprend que vous divulguez publiquement des questions d’examens, votre titre vous sera retiré.
Tout d’abord, vous devrez vous procurer ce livre et en faire la lecture complète. Il donne un excellent aperçu de chaque point à l’examen. Cependant, faites attention à la partie « Implement and manage identities by using DirSync », car Microsoft a changé depuis pour AADSync. Je tiens à préciser qu’il pourrait peut-être y avoir des questions à propos de DirSync, mais de manière très globale, c’est pourquoi vous devez au minimum survoler cette partie. Nous verrons un peu plus loin comment étudier AADSync.
Vous pensiez vous en tirer aussi facilement qu’en lisant un livre, car il porte le titre de l’examen? Et bien non, car ce livre couvre le sujet, mais beaucoup trop globalement. La raison pour laquelle j’ai pris le temps de le mentionner est qu’il est très bien écrit, ce qui permet d’apprendre facilement la base. Passons maintenant au second guide d’étude utilisé : le blogue d’Anders Eide. Son article contient des références URL pour chacun des points de l’examen. Comme je déteste réinventer la roue, je me contenterai de rassembler l’information donnée par Anders Eide et de lui donner la majorité du crédit, sauf, bien sûr, pour la partie AADSync, car il ne donne que l’information pour DirSync(qui n’est plus évalué à l’examen, rappelez-vous!) ainsi que pour quelques liens désuets. Vous trouverez ci-bas les liens utilisés pour mon étude. Les « % » mentionnés sont ceux de Microsoft et ne sont pas parfaitement représentatifs. Ils ne sont là que pour donner une idée approximative.
Une fois votre examen passé et réussi, vous pourrez aller lire mon prochain billet, qui montre comment passer au travers de l’examen 70-347.
