MCSE on Microsoft Windows 2000 Certification Requirements

The Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) on Microsoft Windows 2000 credential is the premier certification for professionals who design and implement the infrastructure for business solutions based on the Microsoft Windows 2000 platform and Microsoft .NET Enterprise Servers.

Note: Microsoft has developed independent certification requirements for Microsoft Windows Server 2003. See MCSE on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for exam details.

MCSE candidates on the Microsoft Windows 2000 track are required to pass five core exams and two elective exams. MCSE candidates should also have at least one year of experience implementing and administering a network operating system, implementing and administering a client operating system, and designing a network infrastructure. Individuals who earned the MCSE certification on Windows NT® 4.0 by February 28, 2001 remain certified. See the table below for a complete list of exams and related training resources.
