Book Description
The MCSA/MCSE: Windows Server 2003 Network Simulator simulates a complex Windows Server 2003 network, providing users the opportunity to gain hands-on skills otherwise available only in an expensive lab environment. Based on advanced simulation technologies originally developed for internal use by Microsoft Corporation, this network simulator allows users to easily and safely experiment with realistic and extensive Server 2003 functionality. This product does not require an actual network or additional software, and runs as an application on any desktop or laptop PC. It covers the core networking operating system requirements for both the MCSA and MCSE exams for Server 2003, as well as the two upgrade exams (70-290, 70-291, 70-293, 70-294, 70-292, and 70-296).
