SYNOPSIS • MCSE 2000
Microsoft’s exam 70-223, “Installing, Configuring,
and Administering Microsoft Clustering Services by Using Microsoft
Windows 2000 Advanced Server” is an elective requirement for these certifications:
MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) on Microsoft Windows 2000; and MCSE
(Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.
It is designed for candidates who “operate in medium
to very large computing environments that use the Windows 2000 Server operating
system.” There is no specific prerequisite for this exam, but Microsoft
recommends that candidates have “one year of experience implementing and
administering Windows NT clusters” in the type of environment described here.
This exam is moderately
difficult and costs $125 USD. It may be taken from Pearson
Vue or Thomson Prometric.
At one time this exam provided no score other than
Pass/Fail, but this is subject to change. “Beginning with the release of the
Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003–related exams, Microsoft will provide numerical
scores on exams. By the end of September 2003, most exams will have the new
score report format, which includes this numerical score... The new scale
requires a minimum passing score of 700 on all exams. The maximum score on the
exams will vary depending on the complexity of the skills being measured.” - Microsoft
