Upgrading Your MCSA on Windows Server 2003 Certification

Upgrading Your MCSA on Windows Server 2003 Certification

Let us say that you have your MCSA on Windows Server 2003, and you want to
upgrade your certification to Windows Server 2008, or you are not certified at
all on Windows Server 2003 and want to earn your
MCTS on Windows Server 2008. The first
thing to remember is that this is a series of new certifications and while there
is an upgrade path from Server 2003 to Server 2008, you are NOT earning an MCSE
on Windows Server 2008,

rather an MCTS or MCITP on windows
Server 2008. Also remember that the era of the
MCSA/MCSE certifications has ended –
it is now MCTS and MCITP (and others beyond the scope covered here) and have an
entirely different focus.

The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) has a different focus
then the Microsoft Certified Information Technology Professional (MCITP), and
the former is not a prerequisite for the latter (nor is it a “lesser”
certification!). The MCTS certification
is aimed at IT professionals who work with a specific Microsoft product or
platform. An IT pro who has earned an MCTS is expected to possess depth and
breadth of knowledge

and skills on a particular product or platform. They are expected to manage and
maintain the product or platform on a daily basis. They are also more concerned
with the day-to-day operations and short-term planning rather than long-term
planning and design and design.









There are three MCTS tracks available on Windows Server 2008:

MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration; MCTS: Windows Server
2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration, and MCTS: Windows Server 2008
Applications Infrastructure Configuration. You can take each of the tests
individually, or you can take the upgrade path by taking only one test. The
easiest route to upgrade your certification, if you are already an MCSA on
Windows Server 2003, is take (and pass, of course) the 70-648 TS: Upgrading your
MCSA on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, Technology Specialist exam.
Passing this exam will earn you the MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory,
Configuration (equivalent to the 70-640 exam) and the MCTS: Windows Server 2008
Network Infrastructure Configuration (equivalent to the 70-642 exam). The last
of the three MCTS certifications – MCTS: Window Server 2008 Application
Infrastructure Configuration – is earned by passing the 70-643 exam. The other
part to earning your MCTS on any one of the three paths is to pass the 70-646
exam Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator.

Trend Is Moving On…

I’m changing jobs and moving to the Trustworthy Computing organization under
Adrienne Hall’s leadership. This was a difficult choice for me to make, but the
right one for my career development. I’ve really enjoyed working in the
Microsoft Certified Professional Community Space, and working with all the great
team players such as Lilia Taylor, Rolando Zarate, Ken Rosen, Trika Harms Zum
Spreckel, and many others who have helped make the MCP community more active and
vibrant over the last year.



We got to see MCP Benefits get launched in October, 2007. There was a lot of
work in involved and some challenges in making this happen for you guys, but it
was worth it. It’s a step in the right direction, and Microsoft Learning is
looking for ways to reward our MCP and MCTS
Training for being Microsoft Certified. We straightened out the MCP welcome
kit mess for now, but we need to keep our eye on it.



If you recall, many of you received vouchers for delays caused by us for not
getting the welcome kits shipped to you in a timely fashion for welcome kits you
placed an order for. You go to see downloadable versions of the certificates for
the new generation certifications such as MCITP, MCPD. We now have a revamped
process, along with plans to shorten the welcome kit shipment times thanks to
the collaborative efforts of many hands chipping in to make this a better
process. We’re looking to utilize the “pizza box” delivery package utilized by
the MCT program to ensure your welcome kits get there undamaged the first time.



We’ve seen our active participation increase almost 20 % last year from all the
MCP who logged in and accessed their benefits and resources from the MCP Secure
Site at https://mcp.microsoft.com/mcp. There’s more cool stuff coming for the
MCP program. You’ll find that being Microsoft Certified does mean something, and
will help you with your career.



Thanks to the assistance of Rajesh Mohan, Rahul Parikh, Donal Cavanagh, and
Venumadhava rao Yandapally, we’ve got better customer issue escalation in place
from the regional service centers to tier 1 to Tier 2 to handle MCP issues
coming in.



There’s still more work to do for us, but I’m confident it’s going to happen.
Quite a few good ideas have come up from the MCP Community on how to add value
to being certified. Microsoft Learning is listening and they are serious about
adding value to certification, and I’ve seen quite a few amazing folks step up
to make things happen in this space behind the scenes.



I’d like to thank Noury Bernard-Hasan, Wayne Anderson, Adam Jaffe, Howard
Dierking, Trika Harms Zum Spreckel, Lilia Taylor, Rolando Zarate, Rob Linsky,
Rick Grindley, Bill Wall, Steve Sheppard, Max Myrick, Helmer Zandenberg, and
many others for their assistance and feedback to help me get ramped up on the
MCP program. In my absence, Ken Rosen will be covering down until we can
identify the next MCP community lead. If you know of any good candidates (must
be Microsoft Certified) who are passionate about adding value to Microsoft
Certifications, and growing the MCP Community, please send them to Ken Rosen to
see if they’re a good fit.

Microsoft Certification: The New MCTS Tracks And Exams

Microsoft is revamping its certification tracks, and will eventually retire the
familiar MCSE certificatons. The new certification setup is much like Cisco's,
where there are specialist certifications to go along with the more general CCNA,
then mid-level certifications such as the CCNP, and then a more-advanced
practical exam modeled somewhat after the coveted CCIE certification.



Microsoft's new specialist exams are the Microsoft Certified Technology
Specialist (MCTS) exams. As of March 2006, there were five separate MCTS Tracks.
Three of them deal with .NET Framework 2.0; these are the Web Application,
Windows Applications, and Distributed Applications certifications. Each of these
separate certifications requires the candidate to pass two exams. There is also
a one-exam SQL Server 2005 certification, as well as a BizTalk Server 2006
single-exam certification.



The initial question is "Why is Microsoft doing this?" According to their
website, MS feels that IT hiring managers today have a tough time deciding which
computer certifications best identify job candidates who best meet their needs.
I know it's easy to take verbal shots at Microsoft (it'll be an Olympic sport
one day), but this new series of certs does have appeal for hiring managers,
which can only help qualified candidates. Instead of the more-general MCSE,
which does still suffer from the overcertification of NT 4.0 MCSEs back in the
day, these more-specific certifications will make it easier for the job
candidate to prove that they can do the job - and easier for the hiring manager
to make an informed decision.



Microsoft hasn't announced the track that will eventually replace the MCSE, but
this track will be revealed with the next client-server Windows release. It's up
to you to stay informed of these changes, so I recommend you visit Microsoft's
certification website often. "I didn't know" isn't much help once a
certification expires!
