Im currently trying to decide which tests I would like to take from the =
ones that you are given a choice in for MCSE. I have looked on the =
internet and this news group for some information but wasn't able to =
find anything so I figured I would ask.
=20
I know the 4 core ones I will take (not like you have much of a choice)
For the 4 core I am going to do Exam 70-210, Exam 70-215, Exam 70-216 =
and Exam 70-217

Now the ones im trying to decide is between:
Exam 70-219: Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Directory Services =
Infrastructure=20
OR
Exam 70-221: Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure =

OR
Exam 70-297: Designing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active =
Directory and Network Infrastructure

The issue with these is Im not quite sure what the difference is =
between 219 and 221. Also, im not sure if I should go for 297 so I have =
a 2003 cert under my belt
Finally I have narrowed the electives down to:
Exam 70-218: Managing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Environment
Exam 70-219: Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Directory Services =
Infrastructure=20
Exam 70-221: Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure
Exam 70-223: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft =
Clustering Services by Using Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Exam 70-232: Implementing and Maintaining Highly Available Web =
Solutions with Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Technologies and Microsoft =
Application Center 2000
Exam 70-234: Designing and Implementing Solutions with Microsoft =
Commerce Server 2000
If I currently wanting to go into web development programming (for .NET, =
Java, Visual Basic, C++ ect. of which I don't know yet, will be going to =
college in a year also for my BS) and also administration of a network =
what's the general opinion of the path that would probably fit my goals =
best?

well 218 first.. that will give you an Admin Cert ( MCSA ), other than =
that.. if you are looking for admin, then 219 and 221 is what I am going =
on.. if you are looking for programming/development, then you should be =
looking toward the MCSD line.
