Windows XP is bright and colorful; it came
out on time; your friends or neighbors probably use a lite
version; and it's quite stable. Is this a Microsoft product?
Yes, and you may be required to know even more about than
that.
The exam that is designed to prove that you know XP inner
workings is going to test you in these areas:
Installing Windows XP Professional
Be familiar with Remote Installation Services, Sysprep, RIPrep,
the Setup Manager and unattended answer files. How they work
together or not. You must be able to update, upgrade and apply
service packs to Windows XP. Dynamic update options are brand
new. Get to know the Setup Manager Wizard and his cohort,
the File and Settings Transfer Wizard, too. Then take some
practice with the User State Migration Tool.
Implementing and Conducting Administration

Implementing, Managing, and Troubleshooting
Hardware Devices and Drivers
This topic is more complicated than before, but once you've
mastered it hardware devices are easier to contend with than
in previous versions of Windows. CDs, DVDs, displays, IrDAs
and disk drives all figure into the mix. The Plug and Play
is now fully supported. System Restore Points could be worth
exploring.
Monitoring and Optimizing System Performance
and Reliability
Aside from the usual monitoring and optimizing of memory,
disks, processors, networks and applications you'll need know
all about a few other miscellaneous topics. These include
Task Scheduler, driver signing, Safe Mode and the System State.

Configuring and Troubleshooting the Desktop
Environment
To keep your users happy you'll need to configure and troubleshoot
the desktop environment. Knowledge of user profiles, multi-language
support, accessibility issues, fax support and Windows Installer
will aid you in the task. The Program Compatibility Wizard
may be able to help you play DOS games at lunch and much more.
Implementing, Managing, and Troubleshooting
Network Protocols and Services
What most of this topic boils down to is TCP/IP. Whether it's
a dial-up connection, a virtual private networking connection
or a shared Internet connection, you must know how to hook
up your clients and maintain the link. You can now afford
them some local protection from Internet nasties by configuring,
managing, and troubleshooting an Internet Connection Firewall
(ICF) that's bundled with XP Pro. Don't entirely neglect the
other protocols such as NetBEUI or NWLink, however.
Implementing, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting
Security
When it comes time to start encrypting, auditing and authenticating
things, it's time to study up on security. Know how to implement
manage and troubleshoot account settings, local security policies
and EFS. EFS has added a few new bells and whistles.
