Guys,

might be getting a little ahead of myself here but I am trying to formulate some kind of training schedule for the next 12+ months.

Ultimately, I want to get into server admin roles. I realise I am a bit off that just yet, however, once I get my network+ out of the way, what should I be looking for cert-wise? Or is it a case of it being pointless without the practical experience in this field?

I know that MCDST is being retired next March, what takes its place?

I want to keep up the momentum I have for getting to where I want to be, I just need a little guidance.

Thanks

Hi mate,

XP will still be around for a long time to come so definitely go for this cert (you can always upgrade it later to windows 7).
Then its simply a case of working your way up the ladder
Get into an entry level job as soon as you can to start your career and the certs will follow, the way i see it, you use a+ n+ and mcdst to get into the industry, then every other cert after that should validate what you have learned in your career, worked for me

 

cheers Dan, thanks for the response.

 

I agree with Dan.
