Have you got the latest BIOS? Are there special drivers needed for W2K? That's kind of an older motherboard... would it make sense to use a newer one? (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) Setnaffa is an MCSE-2k3 (working on Messaging now) with a few other certs, too...

1. set up new w2k DC 2. transfer all FSMO roles and GC to new w2k DC 3. demote/rewave the server that's failing only when the w2k domain is stable and safe then worry about 2k3... if any of those steps seem mystical, you'll find lots of advice already here... and as long as you're patient...

quest/aelita might have the tool you need... but why on earth spend the thousands of dollars to move the deck chairs when what you need is a new ride... NT4 is going down... you really ought to migrate to W2K-SP4 or preferably 2K3-SP1... Setnaffa is an MCSE-2k3 (working on Messaging now)...

probably not even in 2003... Setnaffa is an MCSE-2k3 (working on Messaging now) with a few other certs, too...

think you need to visit MS website and review the requirements for the test you're planning on taking... what other prep did you do? practice tests? study guides? actual use of SQL Server in your work? Setnaffa is an MCSE-2k3 (working on Messaging now) with a few other certs, too...

done, thanks! sorta absent-minded this week... Setnaffa is an MCSE-2k3 (working on Messaging now) with a few other certs, too...

finished MCSE last week... tougher than I anticipated... but it can be done... even if you're over 45... do not give up... Setnaffa is an MCSA-2k3 (working on MCSE-2k3) with a few other certs, too...

if you have friends doing this at the same time why not club together and buy as many of them as you can afford? I also enjoy the examcram books to read 1st, then go over the details and lab exercises in mspress, and then read the sybex... I have found this to work well with sufficient...

look for both at your local public library!! if not there, ask them if there's an inter-library loan program available... I tend to read everything I can get my hands on... and don't forget the examcram books as a good overview... Setnaffa is an MCSA-2k3 (working on MCSE-2k3) with a few...

VMware/VirtualPC/Virtual Server requires a hefty new PC to run more than 2 virtual servers... It is an easier way in that the software helps you past any driver difficulties; but it may not be cheaper than buying a couple or three PCs of "P2/400MHz, 256MB PC100 RAM, 2 GB HD, 2xCDROM" class, a...

what I heard was the second attempt after lots of practice at home received an 850... ;-) Setnaffa is an MCSA-2k3 (working on MCSE-2k3) with a few other certs, too...

now, of course I never use TK but a little bird told me that the 70-296 test done last Saturday had only 3 questions from TKv38... and considering there were 500 pages in that TK--as I have heard--it's easier to do it the right way... Setnaffa is an MCSA-2k3 (working on MCSE-2k3) with a few...

it's okat for some... but the MCSE tests will require you to have hands-on... so figure that into your calculations... Setnaffa is an MCSA-2k3 (working on MCSE-2k3) with a few other certs, too...

Well, there is one easy way... have two years hands-on experience... But in my case, buying the stuff and doing it at home was more effective than classes... just be sure to start at the beginning and don't expect anyone to hand you anything for free... You'll do fine!!! A cert is usually...

in fact, the only thing that really helped on 296 was hands-on and knowing the OS and how to recover from the mistakes I made while setting it up... whodathunkit? the very screwups I made by being careless forced me into learning how to recover from that and gave me the answers to at least 5...
