About the Book
MCSE Windows 2000 Professional Exam Cram 2 is the perfect study guide to help you pass the first exam in Microsoft's 2000 four core OS exams - Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (exam 70-210). With this book, you can master the skills and concepts necessary to address examination objectives including: planning, installation, configuration, administration, support, security, and troubleshooting of Windows 2000 Professional. It teaches how to analyze Microsoft's trick questions and distracters by providing practice exam questions arranged in a similar format to the ones found on the actual exam. This book is not intended to teach new material. Instead it assumes that you have a solid foundation of knowledge but can use a refresher on important concepts as well as a guide to exam topics and objectives. This book focuses exactly on what you need to get past the exam - it features test-taking strategies, time-saving study tips, and a special Cram Sheet that includes tips, acronyms, and memory joggers not available anywhere else. The series is supported online at several Web sites: examcram.com, informit.com, and cramsession.com.
