U cannot think like this way!

But Network+ will be a good one because it can be count at one of the exam of CNE. or try the CNA, CCA, ..

I agree with Kasor. If you're not sure what cert you want to go for, and you don't already have Network+ it would be a good choice. It touches lightly on a lot of topics, so it may help you decide what you want to go for next.

What study material do you recommend or the Win2k Server exam? I'm getting started on that and so far Sybex looks a lot better then the MOC books (I have both).

Hi,

I have the following certs:

I was thinking of doing the server+ exam,

Thanks for the info Azam. Do you like the Cisco or Microsoft material? If so, I suggest continuing down whichever of these paths you like the most. Server+ may be a good idea if you're into the hardware side of things.

Azam,

I was in the middle of studying for the Server exam and decided to take a break and noticed you just passed the exam. I have the Sybex book and have heard to stay away from Sybex for all Win2k material. You only used the Sybex and Troytek? How long did you study for the server test? I have a two computer home lab running one as DC and one as MS. I noticed other people with the same setup..I want to get at least one Microsoft test taken care of before I go back on the Cisco track.

Just a thought

nelsons1,

It took me roughly 3 months on and off to prepare for the test. I used sybex and Troy. I also had TONS of hands on experience as well. Hope this helps bro,

Azam

hands on experience is very important. That's why people take classes.
