MCSE2000 OR MCSE2003

Hi all,

I am currently new to this the MCSE track. I read there is
MCSE 2000 and MCSE 2003. Which is based on Windows 2000
and Windows 2003.

I don't really know which one is best, 2000 or 2003. The
exams are different . Please i need some advice on this.


Thanks

MCSE for Windows 2000 is just that. MCSE for the 2003 family is just that.
Where's the confusion?

"Best" is a relative term. What are you planning to do with your cert? Are
you more interested in Windows 2000 or 2003? If you're currently in the
business, what OS does your company use? 2003 will be around longer (note
that certifications don't expire, but the exams are retired), so the cert
may hold its value longer into the future.

The bottom line is it's up to you.

I agree, if I were starting out, I'd go with the 2003 exams - the OS is out, eval copies are available, the certification will have a longer shelf life...Good Luck, Jim

MCSE 2003 is the latest ...... but you should follow the track you
are most likely to use at your place of employment.
(or future employment).

OK. That's one opinion

Then there is the other that says NT4 server deployments
still account for the largest number of server OS's stil
in a production environment (this may have changed, bu
only very recently if at all)

Then the second largest would currently be Win2K Server

That all the evidence suggests that a good deal of Window
2000 Server deployments will stay just that for some time
to come, with decision makers finding it hard to justif
upgrade dollars / reasons at this time

That even Microsoft is pushing NT4 upgrades to Windows
Server 2003 technologies and not doing a lot to push al
those Win2K deployments towards upgrades, at this time

Consider also that you can get MCSA / E on Win2K likely
a little easier than on the Windows Server 2003 track, an
it takes just two more exams to have a total of 5 certs

MCP, MCSA & MCSE on Win2K, MCSA & MCSE on Win2003

Most of us here were advocating strongly for the MCSE
on Win2K route and then upgrading via two exams as
recently as just a few short months ago. I don't see wha
has changed in that time

So do the 2000 stream. With MCSA. Upgrade to 2003 skills

Then look at some specialisations, such as Security, Messagin
or SQL exams for MCDBA
