The Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Security Exam, 70-298, is one of the core exams of the MCSE and MCSA certification tracks. It can also count towards Cisco CCIA credit. This exam is rather unique in its coverage of the security features in Windows Server 2003. It covers much of the basic security ideas that are prominent in industry-wide certifications such as the Security+ and CIISP certifications. However, the 70-298 exam also covers some Microsoft-specific security features, such as IIS security, WSUS, and security via Group Policy.
