You are invited to take beta exam 71-662: TS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Configuring. You were specifically chosen to participate in this beta because of the SME profile you created on the Microsoft Learning Content Development site. If you pass the beta exam, the exam credit will be added to your transcript and you will not need to take the exam in its released form.

By participating in beta exams, you have the opportunity to provide the Microsoft Certification program with feedback about exam content, which is integral to development of exams in their released version. We depend on the contributions of experienced IT professionals and developers as we continually improve exam content and maintain the value of Microsoft certifications.
