Preface

Introduction

This book is designed primarily to support computing professionals preparing for the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) core exams. This book prepares a candidate for four core requirement exams: Exam 70-210, Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional; Exam 70-215, Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Server; Exam 70-216, Implementing and Administering a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure; and Exam 70-217, Implementing and Administering a Microsoft Windows 2000 Directory Services Infrastructure.

This book will also benefit any computing professional who manages Windows-based computing environments, particularly in the enterprise. It is designed to be both a training guide and reference resource.

Who This Book Is For

This book is designed to provide concise and comprehensive information for computer professionals who manage computers running under the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems. Readers of this book should have a working knowledge of a Microsoft Windows operating system, such as Windows 98 or Me, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000. This book will give the reader the knowledge needed to pass the core exam requirements of the MCSE program.

What You'll Need

Through the use of numerous illustrations and an interactive CD-ROM-based training supplement, we have endeavored to make this book as self-contained as possible. Nevertheless, we acknowledge that there is no substitute for hands-on experience. To practice the concepts explained in this book, you will need at least a Pentium or compatible processor-based computer with 32 MBs of RAM (64 MBs recommended), 650 MBs of free hard disk space, a network adapter card, a mouse (or other pointing device), a VGA monitor, a CD-ROM drive, and a printer. Optional equipment includes a modem and network adapter, a 1.44 MB 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, and a tape drive. Software requirements include Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional or Windows 2000 Server.

How This Book Is Organized

This book is divided into four parts, each containing material related to the following core MCSE and MCSE + Internet exams.

Part 1: Exam 70-210, Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Part 2: Exam 70-215, Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Part 3: Exam 70-216, Implementing and Administering a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure
Part 4: Exam 70-217, Implementing and Administering a Microsoft Windows 2000 Directory Services Infrastructure.

Each part is further divided into multiple chapters, each corresponding to a basic exam objective. These include such issues as planning, installation and configuration, resource management, monitoring and optimization, and troubleshooting. Each chapter is further divided into subsections that correspond to specific MCSE exam contents, and is concluded with a list of related study questions. Some additional non-MCSE specific material is also provided to enhance readers' knowledge in certain areas.
