Thanks a lot!
The reason why I didn't understand completely was totally language related.
My native language is Dutch, second language is French, and my third language
is English. And that caused the comprehension problems, like most of you
described.
The reason why I asked this, was because of different answers I found
everywhere.
Some people said 6 exams are needed, other say 7 exams,... So that's why I
wanted a little bit confirmation on this.
No need to get rude on me because of that, I think. And don't describe me as
a newbie, since I am an IT Manager and am currently promovating to European
IT Manager. So please stop the childish behaviour...
As for Andy Ruth:
I would like to thank you for the answer you provided. It helped a lot to
clear some things up. Currently learning the 70-298 book, and next month will
be doing my exam for this.
And when we would ever meet eachother, we will go grab a beer on my costs!
Have a nice evening.

Hi Pieter,.
I think explaining why we put the program together in this may help. For our
certification, there are fundamental things you need to know how to do with
the core operating system. But, on the job, you will have to make it do
something, like run an email solution or run a name resolution or IP
addressing solution.
The certification is broken into the core knowledge about the operating
system, that is the fundamental stuff you need to know about the system, and
then some electives, that allow you to "specialize" your knowledge towars a
certain job role. That may be web services, security, messaging, etc. That
way, when you go to get a job you can say what version of the operating
system you are certified in and what additional skills areas you are
certified in.
For the upgrade exams, we put those together so that people that are
certified on previous versions of our products can just show they have the
skills around the new aspects of the new products. For instance, the changes
with DNS between Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 are pretty
significant, so in the upgrade exams we test on the differences rather than
the comprehensive knowledge on an area.
For the new person that wants to get certified, an approach many people use
is to gain knowledge on the core aspects of either the desktop or server,
and then add to those skills. Most of the training and exams we produced for
Windows Server 2003 is structured that way.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to learn to become MCSE
certified.
I looked at the Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcse/windows2003/
They're talking about core, elective and upgrade exams.
I have no previous certifications, so what parts do I need to study te
become an MCSE? Only the Core exams?
Core exams containing:
Networking system: 70-290,70-291,70-293,70-294
Client OS: 70-270 or 70-210
Design: 70-298 or 70-297
If I'm right, what are the 'elective' exams all about...
