Passed today on my second attempt. 95% of the questions are different from what I had in my last attempt. I was saying “Oh s***” during the exam. Most of the topics I reviewed were not covered in the second attempt, which makes me think that Solarwinds certification team is generating new questions each time. That’s great! This should make it harder to pass. Bottom line: if you do network administration/mgmt on a daily basis, and have played with Orion components (which are available for free evaluation), you can pass it.

I sat for the exam and failed on my first attempt with 68.8%, which is not bad I messed up the Orion section, the exam requires some hands on. I’ve only used NPM in very basic ways (top 10, device details) I knew the logic of things since I’ve been using Cisco LMS for years. However, the question choices assume that you know the names of the components and menus. Anyway, it’s a decent network management exam.
