This books primary goal is to help you prepare to take and pass Microsofts exam number 70-298, Designing Security for a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network. Our secondary purpose in writing this book is to provide exam candidates with knowledge and skills that go beyond the minimum requirements for passing the exam, and help to prepare them to work in the real world of Microsoft computer networking.

What is Exam 70-298?

Exam 70-298 will fulfill the Design Exam requirement for the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification, as well as for the new MCSE: Security specialization. Passing the 70-298 exam will also earn Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certification. Microsofts stated target audience consists of IT professionals with at least one year of work experience on a medium or large company network. This means a multi-site network with at least three domain controllers, running typical network services such as file and print services, database, firewall services, proxy services, remote access services and Internet connectivity. In addition, an MCSE candidate should also have one years experience in designing a network infrastructure and administering a desktop operating system.

However, not everyone who takes Exam 70-298 will have this ideal background. Many people will take this exam after classroom instruction or self-study to advance in the networking or security field. Many of those who do have job experience in IT will not have had the opportunity to work with all of the technologies covered by the exam. In this book, our goal is to provide background information that will help you to understand the concepts and procedures described even if you dont have the requisite experience, while keeping our focus on the exam objectives.

Exam 70-298 measures your ability to analyze business information for a secure network infrastructure, and to design a solution that meets those requirements. Objectives are case study-oriented, and include the following:
