Best exam for CNA designation?

| I am curious as to which exam I should write in order to get CNA cert. I already have my CNE Networking Technolgies cert and I am tentatively planning on writing NetWare 5 Administration (050-639), is this a good idea? The factors I am considering are relevancy and longevity.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian | |

| NetWare 5.x CNA is probably the best choice, since it is the newest. NetWare 3 support is being phased out, and reportedly NetWare 4.x support won't be far behind.
That leaves NetWare 5.x and the soon to be released NetWare 6. Since it will be some time before the NetWare 6 exams are released, I would go with 5.x. Plus, NetWare 5 is similar enough to NetWare 4.x that you shouldn't have a difficult time administering either network, should you encounter them in the real world. | |

| Well Mephisto, if you want relevancy and longevity you cant go past course 575 NDS Design and Implementation.
NDS is of course the core of Novell's success, and it aint leaving town fast (of course there's its smarter brother E-directory, but lets not confuse things). It just so happens this is the shortest subject matter as far as the course materials go too.
Sit exam 50-634 or 50-659.
BUT, I would alway recommend course 560 (NW 5 Admin) as an opener, just to make sure your really suited to Novell.  | |
