How to start

could someone please tell me how to go about getting
certified. Do you go to IT school, university, online
courses...any info will be appreciated

It all depends on how much time you have really. I only have an MCP in
windows 2000 and i went on a course which was all about administration and
configuration of windows 2000. I then sat the exam.

I am currently studying for an MCSA/MCSA in windows 2003. I am using the
Microsoft books
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...139834-5305432

when you get these books you get a 180 day trial of server 2003. I would
advise you to install it and "play" and get a feel for it. and go.
