Thanks again for giving me a positive attitude.
Now, I have joined a microsoft certified training center (in
india/delhi). I can give maximum 3 hour per day & more than 3hr in
weekned ( saturday & Sunday).
Some friends advise me to get experiance in this industry, but how
can I
enter without any knowledge of IT ?
Here, I can have an option... The training center will provide me
training( you can say basic) reg. networking for two month, after then
they will start my training for MCSE.
what I think - 1-This early two month training can give me a
foundation to start preparation for MCSE.and 2)- I may enter in this
idustry for gaining experiance afetr 2 month of training ( I don't
think if I am right or wrong)......... Can these help me ?
One thing more to make it more easy for you.. I work on microsoft
XP so
you can't say I am not completely unaware of computers. Also, I am
graduate with Math & physics.
Now I think you can guide me better..
Thanks
Anil
Anil,
No problem. Again, I'm happy to help.
Well, in regards to your question about "entering without any knowledge
of IT", if you have been using Windows XP, you're not completely in the
dark and you have some knowledge of IT, but not on the corporate or
WAN/LAN scheme of things. But don't fret.
If you're running XP Professional, SP1 or SP2, go type "mmc" from
start->run. This is the Microsoft Management Console. You basically
will be dealing with this a LOT throughout your MCSA part of your MCSE
certification and a fair bit within your MCSE certifications as it is
reliant upon domain administration control. I suggest that you
familiarize yourself with it on the user level while you can and just
look at the definitions of what each plugin does. For instance, you
could also type at run "services.msc". This shows all running services
your computer has at this very moment. Some, like the Remote Procedure
Call (RPC) are vital to running Windows and if shut down, the system
will show a fault and force a reboot. Also, take a look at going to run
and typing "secpol.msc" which is your local computer's security policy.
Through your training, you will learn to implement not only a local
security policy, but a group policy as an MCSA. Most of that can be
found
As far as two months in network training, so long as they give you
assignments to do, I'd take that option. Some training is better than
no training at all. Especially if you're going to do the MCSE
Certification track. Three hours a day and more on the weekend, if
you're studying the right material, will do you well. You can check out
http://www.certguard.com/store.asp and see 70-270: MCSE Guide to
Microsoft Windows XP Professional - Second Edition, Enhanced. I
recently took a college course using this book and it SHOULD be the
first test you take if you're going to become an MCSE. I highly
recommend getting it either there or wherever you feel comfortable
buying it as it is very informative. Once you read that, you'll have a
much stronger basis to continue to learn for the 70-290 test, which the
Thompson book related on that is also good as well and goes in depth as
to the functions of the add/remove snap-ins from the Microsoft
Management Console (mmc from run).
If you have Math and Physics experience, then you should do fine
learning this material if you can grasp the concept of subnetting, the
1-7 layers of a network, and much more things beyond that. I would
refer to http://www.certguard.com/An-MCSE-Informative.asp and see what
Michael D. Alligood wrote about the MCSE program so that you have a
better grasp as to what you're about to get into. The information he
quotes is directly from the Microsoft Learning Website. I personally
edited that article, so you can trust the information if you don't mind
reading it.
Anyway, entering the industry after two months of training is something
that companies that we like to refer to as "bootcamps" falsely, a
promise as there is no assured job in the IT just because you got an
MCSE or an MCSA, or an MCP alone. Experience + a Certification is what
gets you the kind of money you may be after. Please keep that in mind.
Real-world experience, and not a training environment/lab, will be the
only thing that truly decides where and what you're going to be doing
and just how fast you will really learn. That's why I say go set
yourself up a server or get VMWare and a copy of Microsoft Server 2003
and see what you can do by creating a network in your own home. That
way, you can do more when you're not at class and if you mess up, all
you have to do is re-image the drives, given that you backed them up
when you installed the software successfully.
Again Anil, I'll be glad to answer any more of your questions, so keep
them coming. There are others here that are much more experienced in
the MCSE realm than myself as I do not have the certification, but I
have worked/administrated/built an environment such as that before.
Sincerely,
--
