[mram...@hotmail.com]

Hi All,

Would it be a good idea to pass or prepare for BTS 2004 certication at
this time when we know BTS 2006 exam is in beta and ready to be out in
september. Please tell me your thoughts.

Thanks

When installing the certificate, use the MMC snap in console to do so.
If using Windows 2003:

From the Start Menu choose Run:
Type in -> MMC and then hit ok in the dialog.
After the MMC console launches, from the menu choose:
File -> Add/Remove Snap in

Add the -> Certificate Snap in.
Choose -> Computer Account.

Install the certificate under -> Other People.

I think I got the above right, but check the below paper on BizTalk and
certificates to make sure:

On the Send port did you also specify the certificate to use?
In the Outbound Encryption section of the Send Port, make sure that the
correct
-> Certificate Name has been chosen in the dropdown.

Oops , Sorry wrong thread, ignore the above.

But I would go for the BizTalk 2006 Certification.
This will go towards the MCTS: BizTalk Server 2006 certification:
