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)

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...

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?

finished MCSE last week... tougher than I anticipated... but it can be done... even if you're over 45... do not give up...

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...

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... ;-)

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...

it's okat for some... but the MCSE tests will require you to have hands-on... so figure that into your calculations...

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...
heard there were a lot of very strictly worded questions so read everything twice... OWA, Migration, Security... you know the drill...

I know what the manufacturers say. But before I "go to the well" to get the money to upgrade my PC, I'd like some practical knowledge about what CPU/Memory/Disk Space/Etc. are needed to create a virtual network consisting of three Windows 2003 servers to do my studying on...
Or should I just...
depends on too many issues... was disk encrypted? Basic or dynamic? NTFS/FAT?
I think your original XPCD should let you boot to a repair console/"DOS Prompt"...
Good fortune... the error happens to all of us at times...

BTW, sorry about the spam-like presence here; but I actually have updated my certs more often than my .sig here... MCSE 2000, MCSA 2003...
Certs are useful if your employer likes 'em--and mine goes through cycles.
I think a statement like that needs a link to a page at Microsoft to prove...
