The following questions and answers help clarify some FAQs

Windows 2000? |

If you
currently hold an MCSE on NT 4.0, you will be required to upgrade your
certification by April 30, 2002 in order to maintain your MCT credential. If
you do not, you will lose your MCT certification and will need reinstate
your certification once you acquire the Windows 2000 MCSE credential. You

does not require the design skills or the breadth of skills identified by a
premier certification such as MCSE, MCSD, or MCDBA. |
