70-290 is "Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 Environment"...

Why would you take that one instead of 70-210 (W2K Pro) ?

Did you mean 70-210 vs. 70-270 (WXP Pro)?

Or 70-215 (W2K Server) vs. 70-290 ?

Inquiring minds and all that... JTB

ooopsss... sorry... boss..

270 is probably more difficult than 210... best bet is to get the cramsession and transcender to help with your home lab... make sure you go over each and every item in the MS study list on their website...

after you get MCSE W2K, it'll only be two tests to get 2003 (2K3?)

Good luck!! JTB
