[devildell]

hi again all,
contiuing my research i have come across two questions..

what are the diffrences between the MCSE, the MCSA, and the MCP certifications as they relate to the tests you must pass to meet certification requirements...


also:

Hate to do it but these questions earned this link..

Out of respect to this forum, I feel we should expect the same quality of our questions as we do the answers to them.

The expertise to properly answer these and many similar questions is often the product of anothers many moments of time spent reading, reading some more, and then reading some more after that.

Knowledge is not innate and it sometimes feels to me that the willingness to throw out such blanket questions without including some information about what you may know already is an attempt to bypass actual research for a quick answers.

The answers to both questions are well represented with simple google queries. Without context, I don't see the direct relevance to "security" in either.

IMO they're all crap. You can find all that information on http://www.microsoft.com

Yep. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other. An MS Domain is just a collection of computers (servers and workstations) that share a common accounts database (in a nuttshell). TCP/IP Domain Names are linked to DNS. DNS is a sort of phonebook.
