  1. My only comment will be there is no point of passing the exam without real world experience or at least in the lab.
    One cannot play with CB and Intune in Production environment. Also there are many things to consider, if you plan to get full exposure within home lab – that require Azure subscription and others that would cost money initially.
    I have been trying to get as much exposure as possible by using most of the Azure and CB features within the lab. Yet, I am still not fully comfortable to play in Production. That is my experience.
    Thanks for all the links you shared and your input towards MS Certification

    • Honestly speaking I know the pain. And I don’t think the experience SCCM admin like you can easily play in production environment. I don’t think there are loads of people who has cloud experience. Everyone is learning!

      • I would have to agree here and many sccm admins don’t seem to be too willing to mentor colleagues in fear of having competition at the next org restructure. One hour once a fortnight was never enough for me and all I got exposure to, was making driver packs, app packages, collections, OSD task sequences and basic reporting. I’d did the labs for 70-696 and still failed the exam 3 times. Also these exams should be open book. I have ADHD that causes working memory issues and the only special accommodations I got was more exam time.

      • Yes that is true. Most of the time SCCM/Intune admins are treating certificates as the shortcut to get promotion or good rating within the organisation. I don’t agree with that approach at all.

        From my perspective you have to prove the skills of SCCM in your organisation and implementing the best approaches for your organisation.

        In the long run, there is no point in having a certification and you don’t know how the product works.

        I receive several questions in different forums that whether I can the dump files for SCCM Intune Exam 70-703?

        If you are planning to write exam 70-703 using dump file then, you are not in the correct path.

  2. Hi Anoop
    The “boss email” you provided is misleading because it is not about 703 but about the 696 exam which will be retired soon. Please correct it.

    As for the new exam. To be honest, I’m waiting for the 70-703 exam since last fall. I think I could pass 70-696 and, earlier, 70-243. However I’d like to pass a beta exam rather that pass an exam with thousands of dumps published over the internet.
    What disturbs me is the fact that the corresponding 20703 course does not contain topics about planning SCCM infrastructure (sizing, planning topology, site strategies, roles etc). At worst, the new exam could be simply an advertising of new and old Intune features and would recommend throw your on-premise SCCM away and move to the MS cloud.

    • Thank you for the comment. I have updated the Exam #, Exam Fees etc…

      Yes, I’m against the exam dumps and that is why people genius SCCM admins are not getting proper credibility for passing the exam.

      I don’t think Microsoft is going to reduce their investments on SCCM. They are very much focused on both the device management products Microsoft Intune and SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager).

  5. Hi Anoop,

    First of all, many thanks for opening this blog.
    I am concerned about Intune certification. I don’t see any certification barring 70-696 which says “Intune” on the exam name. As it is getting expired soon, I have stopped my plans for this certification. Even the exam 70-703 doesn’t say Intune and it is more concentrated towards new SCCM topics. Are you aware of any exams coming up in future related to Intune? OR do you think 70-703 is of any use at all for Intune admins?

    Thanks.
    Sagar

  6. I´m trying to buy this training book, but I do not find it. Even in Microsoft press store, there isn´t available 20703-1A: Administering System Center Configuration Manager. Could u please indicate where can I buy it?

  7. any free study resources / labs specific to 70-703?

    2.5 years of hard graft full time SCCM/Intune admin and now at the new job favoritism means experience means nothing…

  8. Has anyone sat the exam yet? It would be nice to know the complexity of it and where it really focuses. Haven taken numerous MS exams over the years, I often find the exams don’t always focus exactly where MS says they do.

  9. Hi Anoop,
