| MCSA/MCSE 70-290 Exam Cram, Second Edition is the perfect study
guide to help readers pass the 70-290 exam from Microsoft, which is
one of the four core exams in their MCSE 2003 and MCSA 2003
certification programs. More than 100,000 have sat for exam 70-290
since 2003, with candidate volume increasing an average of 35% each
quarter since 2004. This certification exam measures the ability to
manage and maintain a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 environment. Among
exam objectives, readers must learn to use remote desktop for
administration, manage IIS 6.0, revive a failed server, choose between
forest and domain functional levels, and configure software update
services. This new edition covers all these topics, includes two full
practice exams, and has been updated against Microsoft's official
courseware (MOC) that corresponds to this exam. Exam Cram books are
written for readers who have a solid foundation of knowledge but can
use a refresher on important concepts as well as a guide to exam
topics and objectives. The books feature test-taking strategies,
time-saving study tips, and a special Cram Sheet that includes tips,
acronyms, and memory joggers not available anywhere
else. Introduction Self Assessment Chapter
