Finding the Best Starting Point For You

Because this book is self-paced, you can skip some lessons and revisit them later. But note that you must complete the setup procedures in the "Getting Started" section of this chapter before you can perform practices in the other chapters. Use the following table to find the best starting point for you:

If you	Follow this learning path
Are preparing to take the Microsoft Certified Professional exam 70-222, Migrating from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to Microsoft Windows 2000	Complete the "Getting Started" section of this chapter. In order to complete all the migration scenarios, you need to step through the practices in Chapters 1–7 sequentially, and Chapters 8–12 sequentially, because each chapter's practices build the network to the configuration needed for the chapter that follows.
