MS-6419 and MS-6420: What's the difference?

MS-6419 Configuring, Managing, and Maintaining Windows Server 2008 is a foundational class for system administrators who have experience with either Windows Server 2003 or with Windows Server 2008.  This class deals with creating users and groups, setting group policies and Active Directory structures.  The rest of the class is devoted to several different Microsoft products such as Network Access Protection, Backup, File Server Resource Manager and Distributed File System.  

MS-6419 is a choice for students who want detailed knowledge of Active Directory daily management, such as user, group and group policies, but want an overview of Network Access Protection, Backup, File Server Resource Manager and Distributed File System.

MS-6420
Fundamentals of Windows Server 2008 is a great class for students who are new to Windows Server 2008 R2 or who are moving from a Help Desk to a system administrator position.  MS-6420 is a foundational class to teach networking , security and basics of Server Administration in Windows Server 2008.  It covers what is a LAN, WAN, router, hub and switch.  It also covers subnetting an IP network.  The students will be exposed to installing a server and server roles, as well as virtualization.  Additionally, students are introduced to Active Directory Domain Services and  securing a server.
