Thanks all for the advice. I'm lucky that I've been a hardware reseller
for a number of years so I have several PC's and pretty much any networking
hardware I need. The plan is to dual boot each PC with different client
OS (98SE, ME, 2K Pro, XP Home & XP Pro respectively) and then for the 3
highest spec PC's to run 2003 Server eval ed as well with maybe a 2K server
on one of the lesser machines. Hopefully this lab set-up will cover pretty
much any scenario permutation I am likely to encounter.

As suggested I will be using the Sybex study guides. I've grabbed a copy
of 70-270 but will have to wait until all the core texts are published (I
believe only 70-290 & 70-291 are currently available) before purchasing the
core set.

I've had a good browse through mcseworld.com and have no doubt that it will
be a useful resource for me.

Once again thanks all for the input, it is much appreciated.

Regards

Den
