Greetings,
I've decided to pursue an MCSE certification and could use some advice.

From what i've been able to work out, i have three options.

1) Hit the books and then sit the exams.
2) Go to a training house.
3) Bootcamp?

Any opinions as to which is the best method? Don't really know what the third one involves. Any good resources would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

G

With Win2K? Practice. If you can, go to the classes. They have some really awesome books for training (I am in 1560B: Updating Support Skills from NT to Win2K at the moment) and you get eval copies of Win2K Pro and Win2K AS to play with. This way, you get classroom training AND software to practice with. With the new structure of the exams, I don't know if the bootcamps are so hot anymore.

Depending on how much Win2k experience you have, I'd suggest going to at least a couple of the classes. Especially once you get into Active Directories and such. And the first class of the series acted as a good refresher for me.
