Overview/Description
This critical course provides students who have already demonstrated expertise with Microsoft Windows 2000 with the knowledge and skills to manage and maintain a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 networked environment. Students are not forced to review fundamental concepts from the Windows 2000 set of technologies, but are provided extremely fast-paced and focused preparation for Microsoft's exam 70-292. This exam will be available only to individuals who hold an Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) on Windows 2000 or Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) on Windows 2000 certification.
