It covers basic hardware skills and DOS\/Windows skills.  The hardware portion is as basic as &#8220;Is this a power supply or a video card?&#8221;, but gets a bit more difficult with &#8220;Is this RAM chip ECC or not?&#8221;.  What they call the Operating Systems Technology is just an overview of DOS\/NT\/Win9x\/Win2K.  The OS exam covers basic Windows installation, troubleshooting and networking.  If I can&#8217;t pass these tests, my legacy as a failure will go down in history.  If (once) I pass these exams, I will try my hand at something actually difficult.  Too bad there isn&#8217;t a generic sysadmin exam.
