MCSA Self-Paced Training Kit

Welcome to MCSA/MCSE Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft mcsa Environment Exam Cram! Whether this book is your first or your

fifteenth Exam Cram series book, you’ll find information here that will help ensure your success as you pursue knowledge, experience, and certification. This book aims to help you get ready to take—and pass—the Microsoft certification exam "Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003

Environment" (Exam 70-290). This introduction, along with Chapter 1,explains Microsoft’s certification programs in general and talks about how the

Exam Cram series can help you prepare for Microsoft’s latest MCSE and MCSA certification exams. Chapters 2 through 9 are designed to remind you of everything you’ll need to know to pass the 70-290 certification exam. The two sample tests at the end of the book should give you a reasonably accurate assessment of your knowledge—and, yes, we’ve provided the answers and their explanations for these sample tests. Read the book, understand the material, and you’ll stand a very good chance of passing the real test.

Exam Cram books help you understand and appreciate the subjects and materials you need to know to pass Microsoft 70-640. Exam Cram books

are aimed strictly at test preparation and review. They do not teach you everything you need to know about a subject. Instead, the author streamlines and

highlights the pertinent information by presenting and dissecting the questions and problems he’s discovered that you’re likely to encounter on a Microsoft test.

Nevertheless, to completely prepare yourself for any Microsoft test, we recommend that you begin by taking the self assessment that is included in this book,

immediately following this introduction. The self-assessment tool will help you evaluate your knowledge base against the requirements for becoming a

Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) and a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) for Windows Server 2003 under both ideal and real

circumstances.

Based on what you learn from the self assessment, you might decide to begin your studies with some classroom training or some background reading. On the

other hand, you might decide to pick up and read one of the many study guides available from Microsoft or third-party vendors. We also recommend that you

supplement your study program with visits to a Exams to receive additional practice questions, get advice, and track the Windows Server 2003 MCSA and MCSE programs.
