Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) candidates on the
Microsoft Windows 2000 track are required to pass seven exams
or the equivalent that include the following:
Five core exams:
- Four operating system exams
- One design exam
Two elective exams
The exams provide a valid and reliable measure of technical
proficiency and expertise in solution design and implementation.
MCSE candidates should also have at least one year of experience
implementing and administering a network operating system,
implementing and administering a desktop operating system, and
designing a network infrastructure.
Select exams by number or title in the tables below to obtain
information on exam objectives and preparation resources. Not all
exams for Windows XP/.Net Enterprise Servers are available.
Core Operating System Exams (four required)
Candidates must pass one exam from each set of operating system
exams—client operating system and networking system—in the
following table. Candidates can complete the core operating system
exams requirement by passing either four Windows 2000 or four
Windows XP Professional/.NET Enterprise Server exams or a
combination of both.

MCSE certification. Candidates should continue to pursue training
and certification in Windows 2000, as skills acquired for it remain
highly relevant and provide a critical foundation for Windows XP
Professional and .NET Enterprise Servers.
MCSEs on the Windows 2000 track will not be required to pass
Windows XP Professional/.NET Enterprise Server exams to retain MCSE
certification. The Windows 2000 exams and the Windows XP/.NET
Enterprise Server exams for the MCSE certification are expected to
remain available concurrently.
