does anyone else think its a bit funny that to become a MCITP: Enterprise Administrator you dont sit the server 2008 exam ?


For the Enterprise Administrator

Exam 70-640

Exam 70-642

Exam 70-643

plus either

Exam 70-620

or

Exam 70-6241

or

Exam 70-680

and

Exam 70-647

and for the server admin its

Exam 70-640

Exam 70-642

Exam 70-646

I find it a bit wierd to become an enterprise admin you dont have to pass the server 2008 exam what they seem to have is Exam 70-643 (which I like the look of ) as one of the core exams

I agree this is very strange. After questioning Microsoft on this matter last time I was in Reading with the training team we came to the conclusion after looking at the course outlines that everything was covered in the courses leading to the MCITP Ent Admin certification and therefore would be pointless in adding another 5 days training just to repeat what would already have been learnt.

Don't worry your not the only one who has asked that question.

i fancied getting the server admin first but im know things I should just move towards the enterprise admin.

do you think this is a better option ?

 

Honestly? I think Server Admin is sufficient for 99% of employers. I would then move onto something like Exchange/SharePoint or CCNA certification.

 

cheers mate I might get the server admin then exchange 2010 then try to finish the ccnp

 

thanks for the advice guys MCITP in SA here I come

 

I agree there

 

That's a very good point you've mentioned above, I've always thought that MCSA = MCITP:SA and MCSE = MCITP:EA. In that case I might have another look at my cert path, get my MCITP:SA and look in to Exchange or TMG and if I still want more certs look at doing the 3 extra exams and getting the MCITP:EA.
