Since Microsoft has yet to explain how holders of a security specialization can upgrade their credentials from Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003, I'd like to examine the credentials side-by-side, propose a potential upgrade path and explain how those who pursue a security specialization over the short term can optimize their future Win2k3 upgrade options. >> CLICK for the full tip: http://www.searchWin2000.com/tip/1,289483,sid1_gci931175,00.html?track=NL-126 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MEET THE NEW `MICROSOFT LEARNING' ORGANIZATION | by Ed Tittel Microsoft recently rolled up three independent groups within a single organization in its Content Development and Delivery Group. Henceforth, the groups previously known as Training and Certification, Microsoft Press and Microsoft TechNet Subscriptions are part of a new group called Microsoft Learning. What's really driving this reorganization? >> CLICK for the full tip: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid1_gci925927,00.html?track=NL-126&FromTaxonomy=/pr/5e4 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SHOULD I STILL GET CERTIFIED ON NT4? | Ask Ed Tittel I have a question in regard to whether I should still get certified in NT4. I have only one elective to take. I noted that you have listed four tests from the original NT4. My understanding is that I could take some of the 2000 tests, too, including the Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server clustering services or the SQL 2000 tests. Am I right? >> CLICK for Ed Tittel's expert response: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid1_cid548395_tax285126,00.html?track=NL-126 Want more tips like this one?
