Hi there

Im currently studying Security + at a local college here in Ireland and home studing Vista 70-620.

I hope to sit these exams in January and fingers crossed pass.I will then look for a new job I currently work at level 1 on a helpdesk.

What do I do next do I do next do I do two more exams and get my MCSA using Sec+ as elective or do I do MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician but Im concerned as Vista is not popular and will this be of use?

I could also do MCITP: Enterprise Administrator or MCITP: Server Administrator

Thanks
Noel

If you don't have any experience (since you stated that you're looking for a level 1 helpdesk job) I would recommend staying away from the MCITP: EA & MCITP: SA and concentrate on the MCITP: EST or the MCITP: CST, MCDST & at the most the MCSA.

As I very much doubt that you fit the requirements for the MCITP: EA
