Here is something you should definitely take advantage of if you are interested in learning more about securing a Microsoft Windows network. This is one of the self-paced labs that are available from Microsoft. However, this one is currently offered for free when most of the others are offered for a price of approximately $349.00.

This is one of Microsoft’s many E-Learning courses. E-Learning is another great way to prepare for various Microsoft exams. Once you subscribe to a course, you will have access to it for approximately three months. One of the great things about E-Learning is that it allows you to work at your own pace. This is particularly useful for those who have other daily commitments such as a job and family.
