Prerequisites
Before attending this workshop, students must have an MCSE on Windows 2000 certification, or equivalent knowledge and skills.

Introduction
This three-day, instructor-led workshop provides students with the knowledge and new skills that they need to plan and maintain a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 networked environment.

This discovery-based workshop consists primarily of labs that provide hands-on experience focused exclusively on the skills and objectives that align with Exam 70-296: Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment for an MCSE Certified on Microsoft Windows 2000.

Audience
This workshop is intended for Windows 2000 systems engineers with experience planning, implementing, and supporting a Windows 2000-based Microsoft Active Directory directory service network. The workshop specifically targets students who have practical, hands-on experience using Windows 2000 and who need to quickly learn how to leverage those skills in a Windows Server 2003 environment. This learning product is designed to train people that learn best by doing.
