You forgot the other difference. MCSE = current technology, degree =
obsolete technology. The college extension courses in MCSE are OK, though
pricey. The cost of 2 courses would buy 120 day OS disks, a 2 machine home
lab and the W2K resource kit.

Since when is MCSE a degree? It's not even a traditional certificate and
it's certainly not a diploma, which means at least two years. MCSE is a
skill set that allows a qualified person (MCSE) to work with Microsoft
Windows platform and server products. That's it...a degree is something
that takes at least three years or more and can only be earned at a
recognized university. MCSE can be done within a year or less. That's
why it's considered a certification. I'm knocking it, just making the
distinction between MCSE and an actual degree.

Gary,
With respect to the exams, go to www.vue.com, you go thru some of the stages
of booking an exam and find out where your local center is.
Now onto the home study.
If you are going to do that, then you need two PCs. You don't need to have
two monitors, and you can go to Maplin and get a switch and cables. (Just
ask the staff like I did)
With two PCs you can spend time aquanting yourself with the technology. One
should have Windows 98/ Millennium installed b4 installing 2000 Professional
as a dual boot. The other should have 2000 Server.
When you get them talking to each other using a network card in each and a
CAT 5 cable (crossover), then you can proceed with learning. Expect this
initial work to take some time as you get used to the various problems.
If you have any specific questions, mail me directly. I don't mind being
your tutor until you know what you're doing. ( If you don't already)

Actually, the router doesn't HAVE to be the DHCP agent.  It is entirely
possible to have non-compliant routers, and then install relay agent
software on one of the servers (or any other machine) on the network itself.
When a client broadcasts its DHCPDiscover packet, the agent receives the
broadcast, and redirects the packet to the DHCP server.  To the router, it's
just another packet.  Likewise, the DHCP server's reply is sent to the relay
agent in a directed packet; again, another packet to the router, and the
agent broadcasts the response on the local subnet.

For DHCP to be supported on multiple subnets the routers themsleves must be
capable of forwarding BOOTP packets.  Also a DHCP Relay is used in a network
that does not have BOOTP routers.  The DHCP Relay takes the packet and sends
it directly to the DHCP server.

Candidates are required to pass any two elective exams. (Selected

will be accepted as an alternative to one elective exam. Acceptable

As has been posted here so many times: certification does NOT equal employment,
experience does. Now, that being said, your best bet may be to go to a contract
agency (Teksystems comes to mind) and get some experience. This has the
disadvantage of being out of work when your contract expires, but it will give
you a base to start from when looking for permanent work.

Sybex publishes two books, that in conjunction with the four volume MS
training kit should prepare you well. The books are:
Windows 2000 Directory Services Design
Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure Design
The Exam Cram books are good too, as the others have mentioned.
One more book you should consider - though more of a reference than a study
guide, and probably more useful to you after you've already received your
cert - is Mark Minasi's book "Mastering Windows 2000 Server". This is an
excellent book that cuts through the MS bullsh*t and tells it like it is
in regard to administering W2K server.

Well, I tried the exam and it WAS as bad as everyone said.    Yes, of course
if you know everything extremely well, you can pass.  But when looking at
the test objectives, I was bombarded with some and didn't get a single
question on others.  On this particular test, it just so happened that I get
a ton of questions on Active Directory Integrated Zones.  Now that probably
doesn't sound real bad to most of you (it wouldn't to me) but some of the
questions were just god awful hard.  And many of the types of scenarios were
never mentioned in any of the classes or study guides that I used to study.
I'm sure that was what did me in.
I was fully prepared for Active Directory and everything having to do with
it.  That's why I took it, because I thought I was prepared.  I think this
test has to do a lot with the luck of the draw.  I'd almost bet I could take
the individual tests with no problem (we'll see in a couple weeks).  Just
take it and if you pass, you pass; if not, no biggie.

As Roger stated, you need the 70-240 Accelerated exam (or the Win2K core 4,
if you don't qualify for the accelerated), one Design exam (219, 220, 221), and
two current (i.e. not scheduled for retirement) elective exams.

They need be current - whatever that now means.

No
You must pass one design level exam as part of the core.
The Accel 240 replaces the basic core only.
