Details Trickle Out of Redmond on New Windows .NET Server Exams
7/30/2001 -- Microsoft continues to beef up its line-up of Windows XP/.NET offerings within the MCSE track, with an announcement of three more exams that are slated for availability some time in 2002. They are:
- 70-275, Installing, Configuring and Administering Windows .NET Server
- 70-276, Implementing and Administering a Windows .NET Server Network Infrastructure
- 70-277, Implementing and Administering a Windows .NET Server Directory Services Infrastructure
According to Anne Marie McSweeney, director of Microsoft's certification and skills assessment group, "candidates will be able to mix-and-match" the exams they choose to fulfill the MCSE core requirements, which means the choices don't have to be exclusive to the Windows 2000 or Windows XP/.NET Server lines.
Here's how the exams will fit into the track:
| MCSE Core Exams |
| 70-210 Windows 2000 |
70-270 Windows XP Professional |
| 70-215 Windows 2000 Server |
70-275 Windows .NET Server |
| 70-216 Implementing a Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure |
70-276 Implementing a Windows .NET Server Network Infrastructure |
| 70-217 Implementing a Windows 2000 Directory Services Infrastructure |
70-277 Implementing a Windows 2000 Directory Services Infrastructure |

A descriptive chart showing how these exams fit into the MCSE track is also available on Microsoft's MCP Web site (click here).
Exam objective guides for these three new exams were not available as of this writing. Prior to posting the exam information on its Web site, Microsoft had already announced a forthcoming 70-270, Windows XP Professional exam during its Microsoft Fusion 2001 Conference in Anaheim, Calif.
