Microsoft’s exam 70-222, “Migrating from Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0 to Microsoft Windows 2000” is an elective
requirement for these certifications: MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems
Engineer) on Microsoft Windows 2000; MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer)

It is designed for candidates who “operate in medium

to Windows 2000[,] have a thorough understanding of Windows NT domain
structure, including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, WINS, and TCP/IP [and] are able

remote access, routing issues, and connectivity.”
This exam is moderately difficult and costs $125

At one time this exam had a passing score of around 687,

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
