win2000 but since 2003 is out I m considering tht too.

simple.

Yes.

 

Which server OS is being used at the company you work
for. That's the OS to test on in my opinion.

 

hey Doom.? have't seen you mcse lately. hope we didn't scare you off..

 

Hey Neil. No, not scared off just busy for a change at
work and sometimes reading posts and learning. Man, I
enjoy some of the posts from the mcngp. Hilarious stuff.

 

always fun to entertain...

 

While I agree that it's good to follow suit with your company, if
you're not in a top IT job now, that may not help.

Here's what I suggest. Do MCSE 2000 first using 70-218 as an elective
to give yourself MCSA also. Then upgrade to MCSE 2003. This will
make you much more valuable and marketable to any IT job you pursue.

There are a wealth of resources available to help you pass the 2000
tests. The 2003 tests are newer and there aren't as many resources
available. I don't work for Sybex, but there MCSE 2000 series is
excellent.

The difference between 2000 and 2003 is similar to the differences
between 95 and 98. They are not too hard to grasp once you understand
2000. There is a solid base of companies using 2000 today. While
companies can move to 2003, there aren't enough compelling reasons for
many companies if they're running 2000. The concept is "Why upgrade.
Windows 2000 is good enough."

None of the exams are "simple." But if you play with the products, the
exams do start to make sense.
