IBM Test 252 - WebSphere Application Server Community Edition V1.1

[Arun Natarajan]

Hello All,
I plan to prepare for the 'Test 252: WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6.0, Core Administration'. I wanted to install the app server on my personal machine but found only a trial version availabe for download. I also noticed that there is a 'WebSphere Application Server Community Edition V1.1'. I was wondering how close the two are and if for the purposes of the exam I could use the community edition.

Thanks,
Arun N

community edition is very very different than websphere ND v6.0....
Community edition is "free version" of websphere...It has got nothing to do with ND version..

Also you cant find ND version as trial download....
And my honest suggestion is to not take 252 without having practical experiance on it...Most of the questions involve realistic scenarions...Iam not trying to discourage you but these are just my thoughts...

Best Regards

Thanks Prashant,
I do not plan to take the exam any time soon. I wanted to start preparing and given the lack of experience in administration I thought getting the software and playing around would be a good place to start.
