MCP Exam 70-270 Preparation

The Microsoft Certified Professional Exam preparation ebook starts with a self assessment which will help you to evaluate your readiness for this MCSE certification, namely, Exam 70-270 "Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional."

It will also help you know what you need to master.

Here are some relevant statistics about the background and experience for an ideal MCSE candidate. Don't worry if you don't meet these qualifications, or don't come that close—this is a far-from-ideal world, and where you fall short is simply where you'll have more work to do.

  • Academic or professional training in network theory, concepts, and operations. This includes everything from networking media and transmission techniques through network operating systems, services,and applications.

  • Three-plus years of professional networking experience, including experience with Ethernet, Token Ring, modems, and other networking media. This must include installation, configuration, upgrade, and troubleshooting experience.

  • Two-plus years in a networked environment that includes hands-on experience with Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000/XP Professional, Windows NT Server, Windows NT Workstation, and Windows 95 or Windows 98. A solid understanding of each system's architecture, installation, configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting is also
    essential.

  • Knowledge of the various methods for installing Windows 2000, including manual and unattended installations.

  • A thorough understanding of key networking protocols, addressing, and name resolution, including TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, and NetBEUI.

  • A thorough understanding of NetBIOS naming, browsing, and file and print services.

  • Familiarity with key Windows 2000/XP-based TCP/IP-based services, including HTTP (Web servers), DHCP, WINS, and DNS, plus familiarity with one or more of the following:

    • Internet Information Server (IIS), Index Server, and Proxy Serve

  • An understanding of how to implement security for key network data in a Windows 2000/XP environment.

  • Working knowledge of NetWare 3.x and 4.x, including IPX/SPX frame formats, NetWare file, print, and directory services, and both Novell and Microsoft client software.

  • Working knowledge of Microsoft's Client Service For NetWare (CSNW), Gateway Service For NetWare (GSNW), the NetWare Migration Tool (NWCONV), and the NetWare Client For Windows (NT, 95, and 98) is essential.

  • A good working understanding of Active Directory. The more you work with Windows 2000, the more you'll realize that this new operating system is quite different than Windows NT. New technologies like Active Directory have really changed the way that Windows is configured and used. We recommend that you find out as much as you can about Active Directory and acquire as much experience using this technology as possible. The time you take learning about Active Directory will be time very well spent!

Fundamentally, this boils down to a bachelor's degree in computer science, plus three years' experience working in a position involving network design, installation, configuration, and maintenance. We believe that well under half of all certification candidates meet these requirements, and that, in fact, most meet less than half of these requirements—at least, when they begin the certification process. But because all the people who already have been certified have survived this ordeal, you can survive it too—especially if you heed what our Self- Assessment can tell you about what you already know and what you need to learn.

A+ Core Hardware 220-301

This E-book is designed specifically around the areas of knowledge on which

A+ Hardware.We have drawn on material from CompTIA's listing of its objectives, from other preparation guides, and from the exams themselves. We've also drawn from a battery of third-party test preparation tools, numerous technical Web sites, and from our own experience with PCs.

Our aim is to walk you through PCs and simple networking, and pointing out those things that are important for you to remember.

The certification test makes a basic assumption that you already have a strong background in PC hardware and software. On the other hand, we think the technology is changing so quickly that no one can be a total expert. We've tried to de-mystify the jargon, acronyms, terms, and concepts. Wherever we think you're likely to "blur past" an important concept, we've defined the assumptions and premises behind that concept.........read more
