Microsoft has
designed MCSE for Windows 2000 in a different way in order to make it
respectable.The Certification is quite difficult to acquire.
The following changes are made.
1)Four core exams with no consumer desktop operating system (The MCSE

2)Limited Electives:
Microsoft is saying that an MCSE would have cleared more than a
half-dozen networking and infrastructure exams.
3)No paper MCSEs :

the exams are more experienced-based.
4)Thinning
the ranks :
It’s the time commitment required to master the world of Windows 2000
and pass the seven MCSE exams.
5)Design Elements included:
Apart from testing in Techincal problems ,Design solutions have to be
