This book’s primary goal is to help you prepare to take and pass Microsoft’s exam number 70-291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure. Our secondary purpose in writing this book is to provide exam candidates with knowledge and skills that go beyond the minimum requirements for passing the exam, and help to prepare them to work in the real world of Microsoft computer networking.
What is Exam 70-291?
Exam 70-291 is one of the two core networking systems requirements (along with exam 70-290) for the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) and one of the four core requirements for the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certifications. Microsoft’s stated target audience consists of IT professionals with at least six months to one year of work experience on a medium or large company network. This means a multi-site network with at least three domain controllers, running typical network services such as file and print services, database, firewall services, proxy services, remote access services and Internet connectivity, as well as messaging, intranet and client computer management.
However, not everyone who takes Exam 70-291 will have this ideal background. Many people will take this exam after classroom instruction or self-study as an entry into the networking field. Many of those who do have job experience in IT will not have had the opportunity to work with all of the technologies covered by the exam. In this book, our goal is to provide background information that will help you to understand the concepts and procedures described even if you don’t have the requisite experience, while keeping our focus on the exam objectives.
Exam 70-291 covers the basics of managing and maintaining a network environment that is built around Microsoft’s Windows Server 2003. Objectives are task-oriented, and include the following: I

Exam 70-291 covers the basics of managing and maintaining a network environment that is built around Microsoft’s Windows Server 2003. Objectives are task-oriented, and include the following: I
■ Implementing, Managing and Maintaining IP Addressing: This includes
configuring TCP/IP on a server, managing DHCP (clients and server, including the relay agent, DHCP database, scope options and reservations), troubleshooting
TCP/IP addressing (manual addressing, DHCP addressing and APIPA), and troubleshooting DHCP (including authorization issues, server configuration, and use of log files).
■ Implementing, Managing and Maintaining Name Resolution: This focuses on DNS and includes the installation and configuration of the DNS server (including server options, zone options and DNS forwarding), DNS management (zone settings, record settings and server options) and monitoring of DNS with System Monitor, Event Viewer, Replication Monitor and DNS debug logs.
■ Implementing, Managing and Maintaining Network Security: This includes the implementation of security templates and applying the principle of least privilege, monitoring protocol security using the IPSec Monitor and Kerberos tools, and troubleshoot IPSec, using Event Viewer and Network Monitor.
■ Implementing, Managing and Maintaining Routing and Remote Access:
This includes configuration of RRAS user authentication (including authentication protocols, IAS, and remote access policies), management of remote access (including packet filters, RRAS routing, devices, ports, routing protocols, and RRAS clients), management of TCP/IP routing, implementation of secure access between networks, troubleshooting user access to remote access services, and troubleshooting RRAS routing.
■ Maintaining a Network Infrastructure: This includes monitoring network traffic with Network Monitor and System Monitor, troubleshooting Internet connectivity, and troubleshooting server services, including issues related to service dependency and use of service recovery options.
