Reader Challenge

Even if you have your Windows NT MCSE certification, you must overcome the hurdle of getting certified for Windows 2000. Starting with this month's Reader Challenge, I cover some of the knowledge you need for Win2K MCSE certification. Don't mistake these quizzes for a sample test or as a substitute for a course or a book that specializes in preparing you for the test. Rather, these Reader Challenge quizzes will provide some guidelines about the knowledge base you must have for MCSE Win2K certification. All the questions reflect material you can expect to encounter in your Win2K MCSE exams. (Answers appear on page 28.)
