How To Become MCITP Certified Server Administrator

Posted on February 3rd, 2009 by Kasia Grabowska 15 Comments »

Kasia GrabowskaThere are over 5,000 MCITP Server Administrators worldwide. To be more precise, there were exactly 5,079 as of January 9th this year (Don’t believe me? See for yourself.)

Are you ready to be number 5,080?

Ready to take your career to the next level?

Ready to prove your Server 2008 leadership and problem solving skills?

Great! Now let’s see what you’ll need to become a MCITP certified Server Administrator.

How To Become a Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP)

MCITP: Server Administrator

The MCITP Server Administrator certification will help you develop and demonstrate your knowledge and skills in working with Server 2008 and prepare you for several different roles including:

  • Windows Server Administrator
  • Server Systems Administrator
  • Monitoring Operator
  • Network Administrator

The MCITP certification builds on a combination of MCTS (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) prerequisites that will allow you to develop your technical skills and knowledge and prepare you for your role as a Server Administrator.

In preparation for your MCITP you will learn how to:

  • handle day to day management of the server os, file structure and directory services
  • handle software distribution and updates
  • monitor servers
  • troubleshoot servers
  • configure the server
  • implement an auditing policy
  • peform scheduled vulnerability assessment scans

How to Earn Your MCITP: Server Administrator Certification

There are three exam requirements for the MCITP Server Administrator certification:

The first two exams are MCTS prerequisite exams that I mentioned above and the third is a Professional Series exam.

How to Upgrade to the MCITP: Server Administration Certification from MCSA or MCSE

If you have your Windows Server 2003 MCSA or MCSE certification, you can choose an upgrade path instead and take two exams instead of three.

To upgrade your Server 2003 MCSA you will need to pass:

How To Become a Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) - 2

To upgrade your Server 2003 MCSE you will need to pass:

How To Become a Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) - 3

By taking the first exam (either 70-648 or 70-649) you will be able to earn multiple MCTS certifications on Windows Server 2008 (shown in the diagrams above) and be only one exam away from your MCITP Server Administrator Certification.
