MCSE 70-293 Exam Objectives Map and Table of Contents

All of Microsoft’s published objectives for the MCSE 70-293 Exam are covered in this book. To help you easily find the sections that directly support particular objectives, we’ve listed all of the exam objectives below, and mapped them to the number in which they are covered. We’ve also assigned numbers to each objective, which we use in the subsequent Table of Contents and again throughout the book to identify objective coverage. In some chapters, we’ve made the judgment that it is probably easier for the student to cover objectives in a slightly different sequence than the order of the published Microsoft objectives. By reading this study guide and following the corresponding objective list, you can be sure that you have studied 100% of Microsoft’s MCSE 70-293 Exam objectives.
