MCSE Server 2003

The MCSE Server 2003 track is the latest MCSE offering from Microsoft and requires the candidate to pass a total of 7 individual exams (6 core and 1 elective exam).

The ‘Core’ exams are split into 3 distinct sections:

• Client Operating system (all four exams must be passed)
• Networking system (one exam from a choice of two must be passed)
• Design (one exam must be passed from a choice of two)

You must also pass one elective exam, from a choice of roughly a dozen or so options, to complete the MCSE Server 2003 track. You can also substitute the Security+ certification from CompTIA, or the Unisys UN0-101 instead of doing an elective exam

The ‘Core’ exams are split into three distinct sections as follows:
