Follow up from my Exam 83-640: TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring post[GENERAL CERTIFICATION]

With respect to my prior post regarding the pulling of the 83 series of exams but finding some conflicting information, I was able to get in touch with Tjeerd Veninga at Microsoft who is the SR MARKETING MANAGER MCT and he forwarded me the following:   Delivery of 83-640 was suspended in June; we currently don’t have any Howler versions in market (83 is the channel code for our lab based exams). Because this exam earns the same certification as 70-640, candidates who search for 83-640 are directed to the 70-640 information. The blog post that you found was an old one that predates our announcement to suspend delivery of this exam. The blog with the details on the suspension can be found here: http://borntolearn.mslearn.net/btl/b/weblog/archive/2010/06/01/we-re-taking-action-based-on-your-feedback.aspx We hope to have more news later as we do continue to believe the performance based tests are a great way to test skills.   And so there you have it!
