LMAO. That kid is EXACTLY how I looked at MCSE's over the last 15
years (comming from Unix). Bright, young and completely clueless.
Unfortantely, I am forced to make a go at MCSE now. Amazing how
everything I know on Linux translates directly to this MS stuff now.
After spending some time with some 2000 CD training I have a new found
respect for MCSE's. I thought I was one of only a few that knew really
how everything DNS/DHCP/SMTP(IMAP/POP)/LDAP (AD for linux)
conceptually worked (well I used to be one of the few) but now realize
that you MUST understand these at the level I do (and then some) to
get passed in some of these courses. Totally new found respect for
earned MCSE's.
At least conceptually, there's seems to a function for everything that
Linux has done for my company for years, DHCP, DNS, AD/LDAP, Sendmail,
Virtual Web Servers and such.
Pretty nice, the things you can do with MS 2000 Server that I never
even tried in linux yet, like that DFS (my company/servers too small
to go beyond the basics).
There is a dialog box for every darned thing you can do wheras in
Linux is text config files in /etc. Going from the man page/text
editing mode to dialogs seems to be a LOT easier. But I still feel
intimidated that I cant run a full OS off of CD and *get access* to
my Windows Configuration (AFAIK) like i did linux.
In Linux I can use the Knoppix to access EVERY config file with a
simple editor on the boot CD. Yes, it takes years to memorize most
configurations, DHCP, DNS and LDAP but getting in to a system in a
pinch once you do.
(BTW, is there a linux util that can read the registry files straight
from the registry files (system/ntsuer))? That would be a nice
addition to the knoppix CD.
Just some ramblings from a *Basic* Simple NT Domain Admin who has
about 13 years of Unix/Linux XP (no irony intended) and most of it
RedHat.
Going thru the LearnKey CDs now. Wish me luck?

Welcome! Kick back, learn a little, have some fun, and settle in for the
ride. It'll be good to have some feedback from the darkside in the group.
