Microsoft Exam 70-214

For implementing and managing security in a Windows 2000 network infrastructure, Microsoft has started an exam by the name of Exam 70-214. This exam is beneficial for people who are holding jobs in medium to large scale companies of the IT industry. Post clearing this exam, candidates get an asset on their resumes, and are respected in the field, and in the job market as well for their expertise. Like most other Microsoft’s exams, clearing this one too leads to the candidate gaining a MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) status. Besides, elective credits are also given. One elective credit goes towards MCSA (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator) on Microsoft Windows 2000 certification, while the other one goes towards the MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) on Windows 2000 certification.
