EXAMS: STUDY TIPS
• Relates to: MCSE 2000
This promises to be a nasty, nay brutal, exam. Do not even think
of writing it until you have passed the four Windows 2000 core MCSE exams first
(or exam 70-240, upgrading support skills from NT4 to W2K). As well, be sure to
study all four-core W2K MCSE cramsessions in addition to the material we have
provided for this exam.
MCPs who have experience with or have written the exam for
Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 will have an edge on this exam. At the very least,
make a point of studying the cramsession for Proxy Server 2.0 available on our
site.
RRAS, RADIUS, DNS, DHCP, WINS, and routing will play a prominent
part in this exam. Make sure you know them backwards and forwards.
Be aware of interoperability issues when integrating new and old
services/equipment. For example, your design calls for L2TP on a VPN server
inside a screened subnet using NAT (as the two cannot be used together you will
have to know how to modify the design to meet the design requirements as closely
as possible).
If you are new to Windows networking, make a point of learning
the limitations of Windows NT 4.0 server’s network services and routing.
You will be integrating W2K into NT4 networks in many cases and had better know
what will work and what won’t (e.g., NT4 doesn’t support OSPF and
DHCP vendor classes). The TCP/IP cramsession is based on NT4’s limitations
and will be quite helpful. As well, please refer to this excellent article on
MS’ site:
MS Windows 2000 TCP/IP Implementation Details.
All network designs include security. Make a point of reading
the security documents we have linked to on Microsoft’s site to understand
their view of what is critical. Many exam questions are heavily based on
documentation and articles found in Microsoft’s Technet.
