Wikipedia Information

in Network+
I was looking for some clarification on some network plus topics and I was wondering if any of you felt that the information from Wikipedia was unreliable.

Any thoughts?

    Remember that wikipedia is updated by anyone who wants to add something to it.

    I'm not saying its correct, or incorrect... just don't use it as your only source of study material

    I think Wikipedia can be a good source of information, but just like anything on the Internet, anyone can become an 'expert' but publishing a web page. But sometimes at the end of the entries, there are URLs where you can get more info.

    Your milage may vary...

    This is what it says on wikipedia about the Network+ exam:
    Network+ is a certification that attempts to measure skill as a network technician: understanding of network hardware, installation, and troubleshooting. Topics include network hardware, connections and software, and different protocols used in Local Area Networks and Wide Area Networks. Network+ prepares one for continuing to Microsoft certifications and Cisco certifications. A combination A+/Network+ or A+/Server+ certification can fulfill the elective exam requirement of the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) certification. The Exam itself is 90 minutes long consisting of 85 questions with a passing score of 554 out of 900.

    I have one question about that... If you hold an A+ Certificate and Network+ and/or Server+ Certificate, does that mean you are MCSA certified? The process is very vague at wiki...

    Thnx alot!

    So it can only be used as the 'elective' exam for the MCSA, not the entire MCSA requirements.

    No, it just fulfills the elective portion of MCSA. You still need to take the 3 MS core exams which include 70-290, 70-291, and either 70-210 or 70-270.

    Microsoft.com is better than wikipedia for microsoft stuff, comptia.org is better than wikipedia for CompTIA stuff, etc. My opinion only.

    EDIT - Excuse my slow typing... (sigh)... icon_lol.gif
