Part 1: Learn at Your Own Pace
Each chapter identifies the exam objectives that are covered within the chapter, pro-
vides an overview of why the topics matter by identifying how the information applies
in the real world, and lists any prerequisites that must be met to complete the lessons
presented in the chapter.
The chapters contain a set of lessons. Lessons contain practices that include one or
more hands-on exercises. These exercises give you an opportunity to use the skills
being presented or explore the part of the application being described. Each lesson
also has a set of review questions to test your knowledge of the material covered in
that lesson.
After the lessons, you are given an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in a case-
scenario exercise. In this exercise, you work through a multistep solution for a realistic
case scenario. You are also given an opportunity to work through a troubleshooting lab
that explores difficulties you might encounter when applying what you’ve learned on
the job.
Each chapter ends with a summary of key concepts and a short section listing key top-
ics and terms that you need to know before taking the exam, summarizing the key
learnings with a focus on the exam.

second computer running Microsoft Windows XP, which must be connected to each
other on a network.
Caution
Exercises, as well as the changes you make to your test computer, may have

undesirable results if you are connected to a larger network. Check with your network admin-
istrator before attempting these exercises.
Hardware Requirements
The test computer must have the following minimum configuration. All hardware
