The Windows Server 2003 MCSE certification exams are aimed at the current IT professional with at least two years of hands-on networking experience with Windows Server and client operating systems. His or her experience should involve implementing and administering these systems and designing a network infrastructure, and the candidate should have a moderate knowledge of Windows Server 2003. As with any certification exam, Microsoft or other, more knowledge is required than can be gathered from any single source, whether it's a textbox, on-the-job experience, test prep, and so forth. The 70-293 Exam: Planning and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure measures your ability to implement, administer, and troubleshoot information systems that incorporate Windows Server 2003 in a networked capacity. Your two years of hands-on experience working with the product should include a minimum of one year of experience in an environment consisting of more than 250 users in three or more physical locations. To get a full understanding of what this exam encompasses, your experience should also include dealing with and understanding how to administer network services and resources from file and print servers to proxy servers, how to implement firewalling techniques, how to configure Internet, intranet, and remote access connections, and how to manage client systems. |
