1 This exam maps to the same objectives as 70-640, but this version contains a Performance Based component in addition to the standard exam item types. This exam is only available in English and only available in certain locations.
2 This course covers the core Active Directory, Networking, and Server Administrator skills required for server administrators who operate Windows Servers on a daily basis. It does not cover the complete objective domains for 70-640, 70-642, or 70-646 but is recommended in combination with other exam preparation materials and experience in the day to day administration of Windows Servers.
