I will probably get a lot of stick for this question from those who cannot stand the idea of paper MCSEs....but for some of us that's the only way to get the bloody thing....

I work as mainly 1s, 2nd and some 3rd line support/admin in a Lotus/Novell NDS based environment. I gained my MCSA by working bloody hard outside work hours, as the only Windows systems used here are desktop and laptop, and standalone W2K serves hosting Domino (no tears, please ;:-> )
Anyway...I passed the beast 216 (at the 2nd attempt)....so that leaves me with the core AD exam to get, one design exam and another elective

My question is....has anyone studied Exchange after knowing Domino (I am a SysAd r6 CLP) and is it a real headache to learn based on what you already know about Domino

My options may just be to get the AD and network infrastructure exam, the former (as I have been told) is not a nightmare exam, but I don't really know much about the latter exam's difficulty. It would be nice to get feedback on other possible electives that were not that much of a challenge given a low level of previous knowledge on the subject matter

Thanks in advance for any friendly responses

No it's not.

If you get regular work on the the W2K servers and if the desktops and
laptops are W2K or later, then you are not a paper MCSA/MCSE.

It's a bigger headache to learn without some experience with Exchange or
another product that provides similar services. You are far from becoming a
paper MCSE.

former (as I have been told) is not a nightmare exam, but I don't really

Quit counting your experience short.
