Yes, this is an exam in the Windows Server 2003 track, but it probably focuses more on concepts, as opposed to products, than any other exam in the track. The IP Addressing category expects you to know and understand IP addressing (which is essentially the same as it has been for many years) and DHCP. The Name Resolution category focuses on DNS, which has not changed much since Windows 2000.
The Network Security category concentrates on security concepts with a required knowledge of some of the oldest tools in the Microsoft arsenal¡ªEvent Viewer and Network Monitor, to name two. When Windows NT became Windows 2000, “Remote Access” became “Routing and Remote Access” (RRAS vs. RAS), and little is new in the fourth category: You must understand the principles of TCP/IP routing. The final category, Maintaining a Network Infrastructure, requires commonsense knowledge of service dependencies (which are the same in almost every operating system) and some Microsoft tools¡ªNetwork Monitor and System Monitor as well.
You do need a working knowledge of Windows Server 2003 to pass this exam. Far more important, though, is a knowledge and understanding of the concepts of networking and interacting with the Internet as an administrator.
