Hey everyone...
I have just started a career in IT. I work in a System Integrator that is both a Cisco & Microsoft Partner. I am CCNA-certified and so I deal mostly with Cisco devices, yet every now and then I bump into a software problem, besides I feel that my knowledge is incomplete without learning about the Active Directory and all of that.
And so I plan on reading a bit in the MCSE track (along with the CCNP), but I feel lost though...
I don't know with what to start... The book for the Exam 70-290 was my first choice but is that right?...
Do you have a recommendation on the correct order?...the most systematic method that would provide basic concepts and not confuse things in my head.
thanks.....

You'll have to take a client exam at some point in the MCSE process... I'd suggest starting with 70-270. Then I'd go in order - 70-290, 291, 293, 294. Design and electives would come last.

yea 270 is the best starting point
This is the course order that I took
70-270
70-294
70-293
70-298
sec + (sys 101)
70-290
70-291
70-299

I believe that 293 and 294 are the toughest. The cores (290, 291,293, 294) cover some similar information so it would be a good idea to group them together.
