SYNOPSIS
Microsoft’s
Windows 2000 MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) certification is for
professionals who analyze the business requirements and design and implement
the infrastructure for business solutions based on the Microsoft
Windows® 2000 platform and Microsoft Windows Server System™. The Windows 2000 MCSE got
its start back in April 2000 as Microsoft began to release exams on the Windows
2000 products.
This certification does not retire but newer versions of it are
released every few years as Microsoft upgrades their core server technologies. There
are no specific prerequisites for the MCSE, although Microsoft says: candidates
should also have at least one year of experience implementing and administering
a network operating system, implementing and administering a client operating
system, and designing a network infrastructure. As soon as candidates pass
their first qualifying exam for the MCSE program, they achieve a Microsoft
Certified Professional (MCP) certification. There is also a fair bit of overlap
between the MCSE and the MCSE:Security
certification.
Job
roles of those pursuing this certification typically include: systems
engineers, technical support engineers, systems analysts, network analysts, and
technical consultants.
To achieve the MCSE, a candidate
must pass a total of seven exams. There are four core exams (choose either 70-210 or 70-270) and two elective
exams. CompTIA’s Security+ may count towards one elective. There are also some
previously retired exams that still count towards the Windows 2000 MCSE.
