Microsoft’s introduction of Windows Server 2003 brought some exams at the same time the changes have had a few new certification exam. Around half of the examination will take effect August 14, while the other input is also planning to use. 70-291 exam, that is, realize, manage, and maintain a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network infrastructure, to become Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and Microsoft Certified System Administrator (MCSA) certification exam necessary to upgrade.

Microsoft’s official website about the theme of the complete list of exams covering the following five areas:

Realize, managing, and maintaining IP addressing
Realize, managing, and maintaining name resolution
Realize, managing, and maintaining network security
Realize, managing, and maintaining routing and remote access
Maintaining a network infrastructure

In this article, we will not discuss the details of each test, replaced by exam 70-291 are discussed in every detail the most important part. But first, let us spend some time to decide whether or not required in this examination.

You need to take part in this exam?

70-291 exam tests whether you have Windows Server 2003 new knowledge and allows you to upgrade to more advanced Microsoft certification. If you already have a Microsoft MVP for more than certification of network level certificate, you may be able to bypass this exam.

If you have already won the MCSA certificate, you can ignore this 70-290 exam (management and maintenance of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 environment), but simply take part in this 70-292 exam (management and maintenance of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 environment, for 2000 has been certified MCSA), you can only take part in an examination will be based on the 2000 certificate you upgrade to the 2003 certificate.

If you have already achieved MCSE certification, you can bypass the exams 70-290 and 70-291, and 70-292 join, but you also need to test a 70-296 (planning, achieving and maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment , has passed for 2000 certification MCSE). Examination of these two combined can help you save more time.

Skills 1: conceptual thinking

Yes, it is Windows Server 2003 certification exams as a way, but it may be more concerned about the kinds of knowledge. IP addressing, the test ask you to understand what is the IP addressing (and many years ago, the requirements are basically the same), as well as DHCP. And name resolution while asking you to understand DNS, and Windows 2000 than there has been little change.

Network security focused on the concept of security, including some of Microsoft’s basic security tools - Event Viewer and Network Monitor. When NT evolution for 2000, “Remote Access” to the “Routing and Remote Access” (RRAS vs. RAS), in this regard there are some small changes: You have to understand the TCP / IP routing principle. Finally, one aspect of the maintenance of network infrastructure, some of the services required subordination (in almost all operating systems are similar), as well as some of Microsoft’s tools - Network Monitor and System Monitor.

You do need some job experience in Windows Server 2003 to pass the exam door. More importantly, we should proceed from the system administrator’s point of view, it is regarded as a mutual understanding of the role of network and Internet knowledge to understand.

Skills II: Buy the Pass4sure exam material

Skills III: Think about 70-216

I know I am talking about is not the only exam 70-216 (the realization and management of Microsoft Windows 2000 network infrastructure) in person. This door examinations are the most headaches, one of Microsoft’s exam subjects. Having passed the 70-210 (Windows 2000 Professional) exam and 70-215 (Windows 2000 Server) after the examination, I do not have too much on the confidence of the study take part in the 70-216 exam, “What are network-related examination can hardly do I? “I said to myself.

I do not mind telling you, I am more than one door in this fruitless trips examination. I fully believe that this door examination pass rates are very low, which prompted even Microsoft has developed an easy much of the 70-218 exam (Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Environment Management).

If you pay attention to research the title of the 70-291 exam, you will find that it is using the “network infrastructure” word (in the 70-216 exam) instead of “Network Environment” (in the 70-218 Medium) term. If you carefully study compared the test, you will find that this door has a lot of exams 70-216 and similar places. Although the number of test sites ,70-291 fewer than the 70-216, but the difficulty of the examination but did not decline. This is not just rely on a primary study of the network knowledge can be easily passed the examination.

Skills IV: Recognizing that simple question can change the complexity of

And skills on a link you need to admit in his heart, take part in the examination in the past, all the simple things may become complicated than expected, you must be prepared in advance. It is not the secret, in the examination will often ask to some of the details, which is the usual test is indeed a bit complicated. But you still have to test for you encountered any difficulties in fully mentally prepared for that.

Quite a number of exam-style multiple-choice marathon, list all possible answers and ask you to “select all meet.” The problems brought about by this model are only your answers are completely correct or completely wrong. For example, a topic for the election has seven options, of which only three are correct, if you select only two correct, it should not receive any points. In other words you completely wrong. The result of mistake too many questions are you will repeat again and again take part in make-up payment. Microsoft to add a new examination of the questions, the questions are located in around three-screen, you have to scroll the screen, in fact, not many questions, but this has been enough to bring you psychological pressure. In the register before the exam, I suggest that you first call the test center, ask them to display the size of clear, in view of such questions, the bigger the display of the candidates better.

Skills V: standing on Microsoft’s point of view

Concepts often are common - such as network interconnection, DHCP and so on - but spend some time summing up Microsoft and the relevance of these terms is also very important. For example, DNS emergence are reduced because the host name has become impossible, but you also need to know is how will Microsoft DNS with Active Directory combined. In other words, not only to understand DNS, but also on Microsoft DNS to do the job.

Microsoft’s official website read an overview of DNS, and then studied in depth understanding of the installation and protection.

Other projects include the necessary attention to all the network functions related tools and features. Ipconfig you will be added to the list and learn about all the parameters / options.

Skills VI: spend some time at the IAS on

Microsoft’s Internet Authentication Service (IAS) is the Remote Authentication Dial In Service (RADIUS) Implementation, which constitute a large component of RRAS one. Point of this knowledge to understand through this door realize examinations, management and maintenance of routing and remote access is very useful.

Knowledge for the purposes of this study, you should have started from an overview, and then read the Windows Server 2003 Network Access Quarantine Control is how to work. After reading this information, as far as possible the accumulation of some relevant practical experience.
