Exam News
Exam 70-222 became available January 16, 2001.
Audience Profile
Candidates for this exam operate in medium to very
large computing environments that plan to migrate from
Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000. They have a thorough
understanding of Windows NT domain structure, including
Active Directory™, DNS, DHCP, WINS, and TCP/IP. In
addition, they have a minimum of one year's experience
in the IT industry, including experience with remote
access, routing issues, and connectivity. They are able
to lead a team in performing all types of migrations.
Skills Being Measured
This certification exam measures your ability to
migrate domains from Windows NT 4.0 to
Windows 2000 and to perform domain restructures. A
migration can include an upgrade only, a restructure
only, or an upgrade and a restructure.
Before taking the exam, you should be proficient in
the job skills listed below.
| Developing the Migration Strategy |
|
Select the migration
type. Types consist of domain upgrade and
restructure, domain upgrade only, and domain
restructure only. |
Plan migration.
- Select domains and establish proper order
for migrating them.
- Select destination of migrated objects.
- Plan for incremental object migrations as
appropriate.
- Develop a pilot migration strategy.
|
Evaluate the current
environment.
- Evaluate current hardware.
- Evaluate security implications.
Considerations include physical security,
delegating control to groups, certificate
services, SID history, and evaluating
post-migration security risks.
- Evaluate application compatibility.
Considerations include Web server, Microsoft
BackOfficeŽ products, and line of business (LOB)
applications.
- Evaluate network services, including remote
access functionality, networking protocols,
DHCP, LAN Manager Replication, WINS, NetBIOS,
Windows 2000 DNS Server service, and
existing DNS service.

|
|
Planning
and Deploying an Intra-Forest Domain Restructure
and an Inter-Forest Domain Restructure |
|

the Windows 2000 target domain or domains.
- Create appropriate trusts.
- Create organizational units (OUs).
- Implement a given site design.
- Implement group policies.
- Configure remote access functionality,
networking protocols, DHCP, LAN Manager
Replication, WINS, NetBIOS, Windows 2000

Migrate local groups
and computer accounts. |
|
Perform test
deployments of intra-forest migrations and
inter-forest migrations. |
Implement disaster
recovery plans.
- Restore pre-migration environment.
- Roll back implementation to a specific
point.
