Default Exam 156-815

I took the exam a few days ago. Got a 98% score.

Overall the exam is very much a replication of what in the training
guide. It also help that I work with Provider-1 everyday at work.
I am by no means an expert but I found the exam to be fair.

Make sure you understand H/A CMA, MDS, MDS manager, MDS container,
MLM, CLM, tcp communications ports between MDSes, encryption type
between MDS and MDG, global policy, diff. between P-1 superuser and
Customer Superuser, etc.

Be sure you also understand how to use the command line to stop/start
CMA, copy files ,etc...

If you work with Provider-1 on a daily basis, you will be in very good shape.

I am debating whether I should pursue CCMA next. Look like there are
not much demand out there for CCMA, unless you work for checkpoint.

hi mate congrats .

regarding the CCMA i think it;s a waste of time and money as there is no returns of it i mean demand in the market. generally people are asking ccsa,ccse or ccse plus at a maximum for checkpoint jobs.
