| This book’s primary goal is to help you prepare to take and pass Microsoft’s exam number 70-290, Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment. Our secondary purpose in writing this book is to provide exam candidates with knowledge and skills that go beyond the minimum requirements for passing the exam, and help to prepare them to work in the real world of Microsoft computer networking.
What is Exam 70-290?
Exam 70-290 is one of the two core requirements for the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) and one of the four core requirements for the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certifications. Microsoft’s stated target audience consists of IT professionals with at least six months of work experience on a medium or large company network.This means a multi-site network with at least three domain controllers, running typical network services such as file and print services, database, firewall services, proxy services, remote access services and Internet connectivity. However, not everyone who takes Exam 70-290 will have this ideal background. Many people will take this exam after classroom instruction or self-study as an entry into the networking field. Many of those who do have job experience in IT will not have had the opportunity to work with all of the technologies covered by the exam. In this book, our goal is to provide background information that will help you to understand the concepts and procedures described even if you don’t have the requisite experience, while keeping our focus on the exam objectives. |
