Microsoft 070-467 FAQs: What Every Candidate Asks
The 070-467 exam, officially titled Designing Business Intelligence Solutions with Microsoft SQL Server, is the qualifying test for the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 certification from Microsoft, a credential at the Professional / Expert (historically part of MCSE) level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as MCSE: Data Management & Analytics, 70-466 Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server, 70-463 Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server.
The Microsoft Designing Business Intelligence Solutions with Microsoft SQL Server exam gives you 120 minutes to work through 45–55+ (multiple choice, scenario-based) questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the PracticeVCE test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.
You need 700 (scaled scoring) to pass, and the official registration fee is $165 USD (guide historic list price; may vary by region). Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the PracticeVCE practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.

Your network contains a development environment, a staging environment, and a production environment.
You have a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project. All of the packages in the project load data from files in a shared network folder. The packages use indirect XML configurations to set the location of the network folder.
The project is deployed to the three environments. Each environment has a different set of source files and a different network folder for the source files.
Currently, if an environment variable is missing, the package will use the network folder specified in the package, not the folder specified in the XML configuration file.
You need to ensure that each time a package is executed, the network folder location specified in the package is NOT used.
