Microsoft - MCITP Server Administrator - Overview
The Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator certification sits alongside the MCITP Enterprise Administrator as effectively the latest "MCSE 2008" programs, and will replace both the MCSE and MCSA on Server 2003.
Server administrators are recognised among their peers and managers as leaders in the day-to-day operations management of Windows Server 2008. Demonstrate and communicate your ability to take system-wide ownership of Windows Server 2008 administration, and increase your organisation's return on technology investment, by earning the Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator certification. Existing MCSE/MCSA training courses will still be available for IT professionals wishing to work with Server 2003. However, the MCITP (Microsoft Certified IT Professional) Server Administrator qualification will eventually replace these altogether. The MCITP will be more closely linked to specific job roles and will cover operational processes, operational procedures and the analysis of business problems.
Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator certification can help you develop and validate your skills in your current position, or propel you toward a future role, such as:
- Windows server administrator
- Server systems administrator
- Monitoring operator
- Network administrator
The Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) credential is the leading certification for Windows Server 2008, providing widely recognized, objective validation of your ability to perform critical, current IT job roles by using Microsoft technologies to their best advantage.
The MCITP certification:
- Focuses on a specific job role, allowing for in-depth validation of your skill set
- Allows you to earn more than one MCITP certification, demonstrating your abilities across multiple roles
- Builds on a combination of Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) prerequisites, helping you develop your technical CV with each step in your MCITP career path
