You've tapped on to a great fact of life in the workplace:
- There's the world that vendors like Microsoft test on for current
certifications.
- There's the world of products and platforms that companies and
organizations actually use in the workplace.
When you're lucky, those two worlds overlap and coincide; when you're not,
they don't. In this case, it would probably behoove you to study and work
with NT4 to meet workplace requirements. But alas, you will also need to
study and learn Windows 2000 if you wish to become MCSE certified.
My advice is to concentrate on what's going to do you the most good
employmentwise, and to pursue MS certification only if it's an employment
requirement. Otherwise, you can concentrate on NT4, and let the MCSE wait
until you really need it. On the other hand, if you must have both, consider pursuing an MCSA in the short run and saving the MCSE for later. Less work that way.
Good luck,
