Question

I have read the thread regarding MCSD and wondered what the current thinking is for MSCE for Win2K? I have MSCE NT4 and have done the server component of Win2K. I have also been the sys admin game for about 12 years. Is it worth my while completing MCSE?

I am thinking of 'plying my trade' in OZ in 12-18 mths. Anyone know the relevance of MSCE over there?

I would consider doing dotnet framework now, it's released in Feb/March, but there are training courses available...not sure about books though.
Looks like they have redesigned AD according to the docs I have read, although I don't profess to be an AD guru..

MCSE's are good if you have the technical knowledge with it, but I appreciate the commment's made to me in a previous thread "how do you get the experience in the first place then".

ps Mark - good luck with going to OZ, me & the missus should have done that years ago, we fancied Canada, USA or OZ

**edited to put your correct name in Mark**

no, waste of time. only useful if you have no IT experience and need to get an interview.

any job worth havin does a good tech interview these days - speakin as someone who interviews and has seen the attrocious quality of mcse's, they're only a foot in the door to an interview....

Thanks for the comments so far.

Does anyone have any experience of working in IT in OZ?
