MCSE/Admin Verification Script
NOTE: This is NOT intended to insult the untold thousands of MCSEs/Admins who actually know what they are doing; it IS intended to insult those who don't listen to tech reps because they're "certified" or "run" their company's internal network, yet couldn't perform the following tasks (and yes, every one of these is REAL!):

Open a DOS prompt.

Run a ping/traceroute FROM THE DOS PROMPT.

Know the location of your company's router.

Be able to IDENTIFY your company's router.

Grasp the concept that if you connect your cable modem to a router, and several PCs to the router, that if SOME of the PCs cannot connect, it is NOT the fault of the modem.

Know which version of Windows you are running on your server.

Know what winipcfg is and how to use it.

Know whether your network is peer-to-peer or server-based.

And worth every cent, too!
If the Question is 'What operating system are you using', the answer is NOT:
AOL
Outlook Express
Internet Explorer
Office 97, 98, 2000, or Office XP
"insert ISP name here"
