Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server OR Microsoft SQL Server 2000

Which Elective Exams should i take? I am trying to decide between one
of the following.

(1) Exam 70-224: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft
Exchange 2000 Server

(2) Exam 70-228: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition

I have work experience with AD, GPO, Managing Windows 2000 Network But
no experience with Exchange OR SQL.

Thanks for your help.

Which area are you more interested in? I wouldn't take them until you build
your own Exchange and/or SQL boxes and mess with them. No point in testing
if you've never touched them before.

Well I need to get MCSE, so i have to take one of this elective. I will
build my own Exchange OR SQL server box, once i decide which one i am
going to take. I am not saying i will be expert after taking exam, but
it will give me some knowledge. Well the question comes down to which
one would be more helpful in the future jobs.

Thanks

In microsoft.public.cert.exam.mcse, Sam expostulated for all the world to
hear;

I've got some extra "y"s and "o"s lying around. Would you like to borrow
some?

The point they are trying to get across is, without experience to back up
the cert, neither is going to make much of a difference. Both are probably
about equal as far as value after the fact. That is why you were told to
pick the one you are most interested/capable in.

Although I have both SQL and Exchange in my domain, I personally would go for
the SQL stuff. More and more companies are adopting SQL as their database
server of choice. There are still a lot of alternatives to Exchange out
there. Just my 2 cents worth. Ron
