About This Book
Welcome to MCSA/MCSE Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-291): Implementing, Man-
aging, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure. This
book prepares you for the 70-291 exam by teaching you how to configure, manage,

and troubleshoot various aspects of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network infra-
structure. Each chapter walks you through the hands-on deployment and management
of these various aspects, including the network addressing, name resolution, routing,
remote access, and security. After you read this book, answer the associated questions,
and perform all of the exercises included, you will have gained a thorough understand-
ing of the essential components supporting Windows Server 2003 networks.
See Also For more information about becoming a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCM),
see the section entitled “The Microsoft Certified Professional Program” later in this introduction.
Intended Audience
This book was developed for information technology (IT) professionals who plan to
take the related Microsoft Certified Professional exam 70-291, as well as IT profession-
als who implement, administer, and support Windows Server 2003 networks.
Note Exam skills are subject to change without prior notice and at the sole discretion of
Microsoft.
Prerequisites
This training kit requires that students meet the following prerequisites:
■ 18 months professional experience working with Windows networks
■ Familiarity with networking concepts equivalent to that of a CompTIA Network+
certification
About the CD-ROM
This book includes a Supplemental CD-ROM. This CD-ROM contains a variety of infor-
mational aids to complement the book content:
■ An electronic version of this book (eBook). For information about using the
eBook, see the section “The eBooks” later in this introduction.

xxii About This Book
■ The Microsoft Press Readiness Review Suite, powered by Measure Up. This suite
of practice tests and objective reviews contains questions of varying degrees of
complexity and offers multiple testing modes. You can assess your understanging
of the concepts presented in this book and use the results to develop a learning

plan that meets your needs.
■ A Macromedia Flash introduction to Software Update Services (SUS).
■ An eBook of the Microsoft Encyclopedia of Networking, Second Edition, and of the
Microsoft Encyclopedia of Security provide complete and up-to-date reference
materials for networking and security.
■ Sample chapters from the following book titles give you additional information
and introduce you to other resources that are available from Microsoft Press:
❑ Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Administrator’s Companion by Charlie Russel,
Sharon Crawford, and Jason Gerend
❑ Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit: A Microsoft Resource Kit
❑ Microsoft Windows Security Resource Kit
■ A 22-page white paper published June 2002, entitled “Software Update Services
Overview.” This paper provides a good introduction to SUS but does not cover
issues specific to Windows Server 2003.
■ A 95-page white paper published January 2003, entitled “Deploying Microsoft
Software Update Services.” This paper provides in-depth information about imple-
menting SUS on both Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 networks.
Important Although deploying SUS is not listed among the objectives for exam 70-291,
you may nevertheless see questions related to this topic on MCSE exams. It is therefore
highly recommended that you review these papers and practice deploying SUS on a test net-
work before taking exam 70-291.
■ SUS Server 1.0 with Service Pack 1 (SP1).
■ Automatic Updates client (SUS Server 1.0 with Service Pack 1 (SP1).)
■ SUS Server with SP1 Release Notes and Installation Instructions.
A second CD-ROM contains a 180-day evaluation edition of Microsoft Windows Server
2003, Enterprise Edition.
Important The 180-day evaluation edition provided with this training kit is not the full retail
product and is provided only for the purposes of training and evaluation. Microsoft Technical
Support does not support this evaluation edition.

Features of This Book
This book is divided into two parts. Use Part 1 to learn at your own pace and practice
what you’ve learned with practical exercises. Part 2 contains questions and answers
that you can use to test yourself on what you’ve learned.
Part 1: Learn at Your Own Pace
Each chapter in Part 1 identifies the exam objectives that are covered within the chap-
ter, provides 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 are divided into lessons. Lessons contain practices made up of 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 the
lesson. The answers to the questions are found in the Questions and Answers section
at the end of each chapter.
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 in
this book on the job.
Each chapter ends with a summary of key concepts, as well as a short section listing
key topics and terms you need to know before taking the exam, summarizing the key
learnings with a focus on the exam.
Real World: Helpful Information
You will find sidebars like this one that contain related information you might

find helpful. “Real World” sidebars contain specific information gained through
the experience of IT professionals like you.
