Has anyone else noticed that their registration for 71-665 has been cancelled by Prometric?  Earlier this morning (around 10:30 AM EST) I received an email from Prometric stating that my “testing appointment scheduled with Prometric had to be cancelled due to technical issues.  Microsoft is aware of the issue and are currently in the process of resolving this matter.”  The email goes on to say that beginning January 5th I can re-register for the exam.  At the time I received the email Prometric was still showing my exam as scheduled.  However I just re-checked the website (3:30 PM EST) and found that it now shows as “cancelled”

There is a comment on the Born to Learn blog here which does address this and seems to confirm the cancellation but only gives technical issues as the reason behind the cancellation.   I’m not sure how re-registration will go on the 5th or if the beta period will be extended past it’s original date of January 20th.   There were similar issues like this regarding the SharePoint 2010 beta exams wherein the voucher was posted on the Born to Learn blog causing some of us who were legitimately invited to the beta through our MSL SME profiles to miss out on taking one ore more of the exams due to the influx of registrations from the blog.  Hopefully those of us who are supposed to get the opportunity to re-register on the 5th will be able to do so without much hassle.
