Hi,

I was wandering if you could upgrade your MCSA/MCSE/MCDBA to a MCTS or MCITP. Im not sure exactly what they even are but iv seen people with MCITP: SA im assuming SA = Server admin? Can someone correct me please? Anyone done any of the MCTS exams below? They kind of seem curcial to me to be honest. If you have MCDST you can upgrade it to MCTS?

MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 – Configuration
Test Item: 70-236

MCTS: Windows Vista – Configuration
Test Item: 70-620

MCTS: Deploying and Maintaining Windows Vista Client and 2007 Microsoft Office System Desktops
Test Item: 70-624

Fluid you are better off visiting Microsoft's web site and view the certifications section. You would not only get up to date information there but also very accurate and precise information about your question.

Cheerio and have a good day

 

If you plan on getting MVP status, you've got to learn to use Google effectively... here's the link to your information... click the first link at the top.

 

ahhh ok right i understand fully now thank you soo much! But what if i have MCDBA, can that be upgraded now or i would have to wait as well?

For the upgrade-path to Windows Server 2008 take a look at the thread I posted a couple of weeks ago.

Fluid,

I'm not going to answer your questions, because everyone else already has. I do have a some advice.

First, what are doing? I read a post earlier where you had three high level MCSE exams scheduled in the same week and didn't know you could reschedule them. Now you are asking about a number of MCTS exams. do you have any experience with Exchange? You mentioned recently about wanting to be an MVP. In you signature you have:

A+: WIP Deadline June 2008
N+: WIP Deadline June 2008
MCDST: WIP Deadline June 2008
CCNA: WIP Deadline June 2008
MCSA: WIP Deadline December 2008

You seem to be jumping all over the place. IT can be very fast paced and I understand that it can be overwhelming to try to keep up, but what you are doing by jumping all over the place, is setting yourself disaster.

I think you need to take a step back and figure out what your professional goals are. Included both long term and short term goals, but do not include any certifications as goals. After that, look at what certifications will help you achieve you short and long term goals. Then set you certification goals. It is ok to re-evaluate your goals, but if you do it constantly and make changes you are not going to make any progress.

My job forces me to keep up on a lot of different technology, but when it comes to certifications, I try to focus on one goal and one exam at a time. Earlier this year I had to complete a Citrix exam for a work requirement. After that my next goal was to complete the MCSE 2000. The goal I am working on now is the MCSA:Security for Windows 2003. I just passed the 292 upgrade exam, now I am studying for the Sec+ and working on gathering study materials for the 70-299 which will be my next exam after Sec+. A long term professional goal for me is to get into Network Security. Do you see how I am adding the Sec+ and MCSA:Sec to my existing skills to help me with that long term goal?
