Each student computer in the classroom has Windows 2000 Advanced Server
installed as a stand-alone server in a workgroup.
The organization of the classroom is meant to simulate that of a worldwide
trading firm named Northwind Traders. Its fictitious domain name is
nwtraders.msft. The primary DNS server for nwtraders.msft is the instructor
computer, which has an Internet Protocol (IP) address of 192.168.x.200 (where
x is the assigned classroom number). The name of the instructor computer is
London.

Certification Description

MCP The Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) credential is for individuals who have the
skills to successfully implement a Microsoft product or technology as part of a business
solution in an organization. Hands-on experience with the product is necessary to
successfully achieve certification.
MCT Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs) demonstrate the instructional and technical skills
that qualify them to deliver Microsoft Official Curriculum through Microsoft Certified
Technical Education Centers (Microsoft CTECs).

Certification Requirements
The certification requirements differ for each certification category and are
specific to the products and job functions addressed by the certification. To
become a Microsoft Certified Professional, you must pass rigorous certification
exams that provide a valid and reliable measure of technical proficiency and
expertise.

For More Information See the Microsoft Training and Certification Web site at
http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/.
You can also send e-mail to mcphelp@microsoft.com if you have specific
certification questions.

Acquiring the Skills Tested by an MCP Exam

Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) and MSDN® Training Curriculum can
help you develop the skills that you need to do your job. They also complement
the experience that you gain while working with Microsoft products and
technologies. However, no one-to-one correlation exists between MOC and
MSDN Training courses and MCP exams. Microsoft does not expect or intend
for the courses to be the sole preparation method for passing MCP exams.
Practical product knowledge and experience is also necessary to pass the MCP
exams.
To help prepare for the MCP exams, use the preparation guides that are
available for each exam. Each Exam Preparation Guide contains exam-specific
information, such as a list of the topics on which you will be tested. These
guides are available on the Microsoft Training and Certification Web site at
