Windows Mcse Guides

There are many Windows MSCE guides to help you on your way to be a certified Microsoft Systems Engineer. Most of them reflect on the same content, but relay it in different ways.

A great guide to the Windows XP Professional part of the exam is the MSCA/MSCE Windows XP Professional Study Guide, 2nd Edition. It covers all of the material in the exam and challenging test question that you will see in the test. The study guide also comes with a useful CD for a practice test, an electronic version of the book for your convenience, and useful resources.

Another excellent study guide for the MSCE is the Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure: Planning and Maintenance Study Guide. You will be tested on this exam, which is required to earn your MSCE certification. Out of some of the things that this book covers, it shows how to plan and implement network security, security infrastructure, network infastructure, and server security. It is a good book for preparing you for the test, as it covers all the material in this section.

The Windows Server 2003 Environment Management and Maintenance Study Guide is a useful book for this portion of the MSCE test. Materials are provided to help you study up on disaster recovery, server environment, and access to resources on a server. Many real-life examples are given in this interesting and resourceful book, which will help you on the test when the time comes. Test questions included are very similar to the ones that will be administered in the exam.

Some questions that are related to the MSCE can be found to help you study even further. For example, a question would ask "What address should you use as the default gateway for the portable computer's dial up connection?, the answer would be 192.168.100.1. Another would ask "How do you configure the computer so that users can boot into Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional, while still being to access drive resources from both operating systems? What should you do?. The answer to this question would be to create a single NTFS partition, as both Windows XP and Windows 2000 can read and write to NTFS.

Real life examples are also given, "You are the network administrator for a small company. A Windows 2000 server serves as a domain controller, DNS server and serves file and print functions. Because of disk space limitations, you set a disk quota for each user's home directories. The company manager informs you that he receives the error 'Insufficient disk space'. Other company employees do not have this problem. What should you do? The answer to this real life example would be to increase the disk quota for the manager, as he has probably used up all of his space. Many of the questions on the MSCE exam are given in this format, so it is best to go over them a lot. With a good study guide, there is a good chance of scoring high on the exam.
