Status: offline 		Im doing a MCSE course. Well I bought the CD's of the course second hand. Im running through it and will just sit the exams when I feel Im ready.

However I have Windows XP home edition. To do the simulations it seems like you need XP Professional.

Is there anyway you can download the extra Admin tools tht come with XP professional or do I need to purchase X professional!! If so thas a real downer

Look here for online seminars:

And here for virtual labs:

The virtual labs are especially good as you can do almost anything in them.

Becoming an MCSE is not cheap. Here's a link to getting a second shot at an exam for free

It has been a while since I looked into these issues but I think the main problem is you don't have IIS (Internet Information Systems) with the home edition of XP. Maybe this has changed but it was a major problem for one of my co-workers at the time studying from home.
