Windows 2000 Active Directory MCSE 70-217

Microsoft's Active Directory is a new approach in administering users, computers, applications, and resources by treating them as objects in a large network environment. Active Directory is responsible for storing, managing, and replicating information about network objects. This series demonstrates how the Active Directory can be implemented, integrated with existing network technology, and used for efficient administration. The goal of this series is to prepare the student for the MCSE 70-217 exam.
