Register today at: https://www.msreadiness.com/IL_abstract.asp?eid=5014745

Target Audience

This event will benefit partners who have at least one year of experience designing, deploying, and managing network solutions in an environment with the following characteristics:

  • Up to 100 company network connections
  • Company networks with Internet connectivity
  • Individual users or user groups that connect to the company network from remote locations

Prerequisites

The focus of the exam cram is to help students brush up primarily on the aspects of Small Business Server that relate to the exam. It is not designed to teach people who have never learned about how Small Business Server operates. Nor is it designed to teach people everything they need to know about Windows Server 2003 networking. Candidates should have at least one year of experience in these areas. The exam itself covers all aspects of the solution, not just Small Business Server.
