The 070-290 exam, officially titled Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment, is the qualifying test for the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certification from Microsoft, a credential at the Associate level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) on Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) on Windows Server 2003.

The Microsoft Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment exam gives you 210 minutes to work through 40-50 questions.

Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the Exam4PDF test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.
