Registering for the Microsoft Designing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure exam costs USD 125 (varies by region), and you need 700 (scaled score) to pass. One detail worth remembering: a failed attempt is not discounted — retaking the exam means paying USD 125 (varies by region) again in full.

The 070-297 exam is Microsoft's official test for the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) 2003 credential, a certification at the Professional level. Earning it tells employers your skills have been verified by the vendor itself, which carries real weight in hiring and promotion decisions. Within the same certification track, it sits alongside MCSE: Windows Server 2003, MCSA: Windows Server 2003, so it can also serve as a stepping stone toward those credentials.

Microsoft divides the Microsoft Designing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure exam into 4 domains.
