Are there any MCSE boot camps for beginners?

Question

I am studying to get my MCSE and I want to do a boot camp. I see these 7,14, 21 day bootcamps but they seem to be geared toward IT professionals who have a lot of IT experiance.

I know the fundamentals (topologies, OSI model, Directory infrastructures and a few more things)of the MCSE tract and have read a few study guides on the core stuff but I want to move along faster.

I don't have the vast knowledge to benifit from one of those quick boot camps but I am trying to see if there is a boot camp out there longer than 21 days that I can benifit from.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Answer 1

NONE are good for beginners. At best, they help you pass the exams by pure memorization brain dumps. The certainly do not prepare you to actually touch a server. The derisive term is "paper MCSE" and that would apply to you.

If you want to move along faster, then find a M$ partner who'd be willing to take you under their wing. Bonus points of you can borrow Server 2003 etc and build your own server. I learned more about computers by building, screwing up and then fixing servers than in any class.

For grins, and to get much better on pure computer theory, put together a Linux server. Bonus points if you can get it to talk to your AD forest / domain / tree via LDAP.

You will want to study for a Cisco CCNA as well. That will build on your OSI knowledge, and will be very handy in a corporate setting. If I were you, I'd cram for that exam. Bonus points if you buy a Cisco router on Ebay and actually configure it.

Boot camp = brain dumps and test guides. Buy the MCSE books from MS (get them cheaper on eBay or a used bookstore) and practice building and configuring Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 boxes. If you get an MCSE via a boot camp and you have no meaingful experience to support it (five years' practical work with MS products) you will have nothing but a piece of paper.

People who hire you will quickly learn that your MCSE is worthless. You will be out of a job, and you will hurt the people who have worked hard to earn their certifications. Start at the beginning and understand the concepts if you want a successful career.
