MCDBA on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Certification Requirements

Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA) on Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000 candidates need to pass three core exams and one elective exam that provide a valid and reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise in the implementation and administration of SQL Server databases.

Microsoft is integrating Microsoft Windows® XP Professional and Microsoft .NET Enterprise Servers exams into the MCDBA on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 certification. Individuals should continue to pursue training and certification in Windows 2000, as skills acquired for Windows 2000 will be highly relevant to and provide a critical foundation for Windows XP Professional and .NET Enterprise Servers.

MCDBAs on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 will not be required to pass Windows XP Professional/.NET Enterprise Servers exams to retain MCDBA certification. The Windows 2000 exams and the Windows XP/.NET Enterprise Servers exams for the MCDBA on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 certification are expected to remain available concurrently.

Kaysfeld International offer you the following Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) courses for knowledge build up and preparation for the Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA) Certification:

Core Exams (3 Exams Required)

MCDBA candidates are required to pass one SQL Server administration exam and one SQL Server design exam. In addition, MCDBA candidates have the option to pass either one Windows 2000 or one .NET Enterprise Servers exam to fulfill the networking systems core requirement.
 

Elective Exams (1 Exam Required)

In addition to the core exam requirements, you must also pass one elective exam that provides proof of expertise with a specific Microsoft server product.

The certification requires you to pass three core exams and one elective.

¹ Candidates who passed both Windows NT 4.0 Exams 70–067 and 70–068 fulfilled the networking system core exam requirement (these exams are no longer available):

• Exam 70–067: Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 (this exam is no longer available).

• Exam 70–068: Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 in the Enterprise (this exam is no longer available).

² Candidates who passed Windows NT 4.0 Exams 70–067, 70–068, and 70–073 had the option to take the comprehensive Exam 70–240, Microsoft Windows 2000 Accelerated Exam for MCPs Certified on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. (This exam is no longer available) Candidates who passed Exam 70–240 received credit for Exams 70–210, 70–215, 70–216, and 70–217. In the MCDBA track, Exam 70-240 counts as both a core exam (70–215) and an elective exam (70–216).
