I have been completing a series of posts to help people prepare for the MB2-712 certification (Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 Customization and Configuration). Here is a collection of links to all of those posts. I hope these might serve as a useful revision aid for the MB2-712 exam.

The MB2-712 certification is not easy to study for. At least in my opinion! The reason being the scope of the exam. CRM 2016 is a large product and therefore customizing it is a big topic. But a fun topic and one you will really enjoy learning about.

  1. Hello Neil,

    Yesterday I passed the exam MB2-712. I used as preparation materials mainly your articles, the Microsoft TechNet library for MS CRM 2016, as well as the 30-days online demo of the product.

    I would like to thank you again for the posts that were of a great help for me. I will continue to follow them with a huge interest.

    Best regards,

    Victoria

    and it sales and customer service counterparts.

    I’m just about to book my customization and config exam for CRM 2016. Would you suggest it would be better to take the mb2-716 instead as it a newer qualification?

    1. Hi Lee

      The MB2-716 exam is new. It is the Dynamics 365 version of the exam. If you want to take an exam specific to CRM 2016 then stick with the previous exam. But I would suggest you consider the MB2-716 exam simply because it is newer. (Being a new exam, I have not yet taken it. So currently can’t comment on its detail.)

      Hope this helps

      Neil.

      I am sorry but I don’t have any exam dumps. I assume you have seen my revision guides, those plus plenty of hands on experience will help you pass.

      I know if you search you may find some companies selling sample questions. Although I can’t recommend these.

      Good luck.

    1. Hi

      Firstly well done, the CRM2016 exams and Dynamics 365 are both “current”. But obviously Dynamics 365 is the newest variant. Therefore I would suggest people start to take those exams if possible.

    This is the best source of information in tandem with the DLP and TechNet I have been able to locate. Thank you for compiling this data for us all to partake in. Im experiencing a slightly different issue. I am an MCP with several certs and now with the new d365 exams my organization is pushing for current certified consultants. I attempted the d365 custom and config exam after passing the 712 and several other certs and fail to succeed. any tips on us non-veterans trying to learn the new features for the newest exams when there is almost no material available.

  32. Hi Neil,
    I am working on dynamics CRM for 4 years now as CRM developer & admin but I haven’t written single exam so far. I’d like to start taking exams from now on(Your blog posts are one of the reasons) and get certified. But I am not quite sure which exam to take. Currently we’ve upgraded to CRM 2016 from 2015. We are on-prem. Soon we are planning to move on to cloud(Dynamics 365).
    So what is your suggestion considering my background, should I take MB2-712 or take the very latest for dynamics 365 as we are about to migrate to cloud from on-prem. Please let me know your valuable suggestion. Thank you so much for your valuable notes.

    Like

    1. You sound like someone who is customising Dynamics 365! So I would start with either mb2-712 or the newer mb2-716. I think I would go for the newer exam! You might have slightly more to learn but the effort to learn newer stuff will be worth it! Once you are in the cloud you will need to keep your knowledge current! Plus if you do mb2-716 then mb2-715 you get the Mcsa certification. (Which we didn’t previously get!)

      Either way, good luck.

    1. Hi

      MB2-712 is a customisation exam, MB2-717 is the sales exam for Dynamics 365. So quite different.

      MB2-712 is all about configuring / changing Dynamics.

      MB2-717 will cover the sales functionality within Dynamics 365.

      Note: MB2-712 is actually the old customisation exam. It has been replaced by MB2-716. So you might want to look at that one instead.

      Thanks

      Neil.
