Creating, Configuring, Managing, Securing, and Troubleshooting File, Print, and Web Resources
You'll need to know IIS, the proper way to share folders, files, printers and Web services, and file systems like NTFS, EFS and DFS. Security and permissions play a big part in all of this.

Configuring, Administering, and Troubleshooting the Network Infrastructure
Network Infrastructure can be summed up with five letters split by a slash: "TCP/IP". Details include a lot more letters: DNS, DHCP, PTR, CNAME, and a dash of WINS. On the lowercase side be ready for questions on ping, tracert, ipconfig, netdiag and nbtstat.

Managing, Securing, and Troubleshooting Servers and Client Computers
This big task is broken up into smaller ones for your convenience: install and configure server and client computer hardware, troubleshoot starting servers and client computers, monitor and troubleshoot server health and performance, install and manage Windows 2000 updates - to name but a few.

Configuring, Managing, Securing, and Troubleshooting Active Directory Organizational Units and Group Policy

Configuring, Securing, and Troubleshooting Remote Access
