It is highly recommended that students complete the four prerequisite Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) certifications before attending this PRO level event:
Either the 10-day official MCTS Triple Combo Boot Camp or the 5-day official MCTS: Upgrading Your MCSE/MCSA on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 will satisfy the 3 MCTS requirements on Windows Server 2008:
70-640 MCTS: Windows Server 2008 - Active Directory Configuration
70-642 MCTS: Windows Server 2008 - Network Infrastructure Configuration
70-643 MCTS: Windows Server 2008 - Application Infrastructure Configuration
You also need to pass the Vista exam. We'd recommend our 3-day Official MCTS: Configuring Windows Vista Boot Camp
