Issues on VCP-410 Exam

My customer Jerry has sent me a email and ask me to assist him in advising who him need to contact as VMware regarding his recently VCP-410 exam as he would like to raise an official compliant.

Indeed, the exam contained two (it could have been three) errors in the questions. I don't feel I should go into too much detail on here, but I feel it can put the candidate at a disadvantage, especially if they just failed the pass mark. This exam has got to be one of the most expensive I have ever taken and I'm very upset about the quality of the exam.

I did fail the exam (I got exactly the same score as last time, which I find quite strange in itself). This is not a case of "sour grapes" I would have lodged a complaint anyway as I was very happy with these standards.

More so because I got the same buggy questons where in the question itself it said to choose two answers, but you could only click on one (Radio Button) and I got the strange feeling that this was not the only flawed question.

I really studied hard and over the course of the time have gone through almost all the available documentation and reproduced almost all possible installation and configuration possibilities, both in our Lab at my work and in my lab at home, so I was quite confident that I will pass.

Also a lot of questions seemed to focus on VMware Guided Consolidation which I have never used.This stuff belongs more in the new VCAP Exams (Datacenter Admin and Design Expert)

We use Novell Platespin Recon to meassure workload for our customers in our remote Virtualisation Readiness Assessments.

Anyway, what I am saying is that the exam should focus more on the core components, like the ESX Server , Virtual Center Server, Update Manager, HA, DRS, Resource Pools and Virtual Machine configurations, etc. Stuff a VMware Admin most likely would be using on a daily basis.

Also not everybody has got the chance to work with virtual distributed switches as many companies simply cant afford the Enterprise Plus License this would require.
