MCSE
Windows 2000
The MCSE Windows 2000 certification track requires
the candidate to pass no less than 7 individual exams based on the
Windows 2000 platform. The exams themselves fall in to two distinct
sections – ‘core’ and ‘elective’.
You must pass 5 core exams, and 2 elective exams to gain the MCSE
credential.
The ‘Core’ exams are further broken down into 3 distinct
sections:
• Client Operating system (one exam must be passed from a
choice of two)
• Networking system (three exams in this section, all must
be passed)
• Design (one exam must be passed from a choice of six)
The ‘Elective’ exams require you to pass two exams
from a choice of over 20 specialised topics, and recently Microsoft
decided that acquiring the CompTIA Security+ (LINK) certification
would be sufficient to substitute for one of the elective requirements.
