If you have an MCSE on Windows Server 2003, you can upgrade to MCITP by passing as few as two exams.
Earn all three required MCTS on Windows Server 2008 certifications by successfully completing the upgrade exam: Exam 70-649. Complete your MCITP certification by passing Exam 70-646: PRO: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator and Exam 70-647 PRO: Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Administrator. Refer to the following upgrade paths for additional details.

Upgrade to MCTS on Windows Server 2008

If you have the MCSE on Windows Server 2003 certification, you only need to pass one exam (70-649) to earn all three Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) on Windows Server 2008 certifications. These three MCTS on Windows Server 2008 certifications are required prerequisites for the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator certification. Or, you can take Exam 70-648 to earn two of the MCTS on Windows Server 2008 certifications. These two MCTS certifications are required prerequisites for the MCITP: Server Administrator certification (see the preceding figures). Most people who hold an MCSE on Windows Server 2003 certification will pursue the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator certification.

Questions fréquentes

 

View all answers

Q.  Quelle est la différence entre une certification et une spécialisation ?

A.

Une certification valide des compétences pour un poste spécifique. Une spécialisation valide des compétences dans un domaine technique précis. Les spécialisations permettent aux personnes qui possèdent des certifications de prouver leurs compétences particulières dans un certain domaine technique.

Q.  Les spécialisations MCSE sont-elles de plus haut niveau que les certifications MCSE ?

A.

Non. Une spécialisation permet à un candidat de prouver qu'il particulièrement compétent dans un domaine technique précis. Toutefois, l'efficacité pour tenir un poste donné est validée par la certification, et reste la même avec ou sans spécialisation.

Q.  Quelles sont les spécialisations disponibles ?

A.

Les spécialisations Messagerie et Sécurité sont disponibles pour Windows Server 2003 et Microsoft Windows 2000 Server.

Q.  Un examen peut-il à la fois servir à une condition facultative MCSE et à une condition de la spécialisation ?

A.

Oui. Si vous avez déjà réussi un prérequis de la spécialisation pour satisfaire à une condition facultative MCSE, vous vous rapprochez de votre spécialisation.

Q.  Existe-t-il une certification MCSE sur Windows Server 2008 ?

A.

Non. Les clients souhaitent des certifications davantage ciblées et à jour. Pour les satisfaire, nous proposons les certifications Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) – Administrateur de serveur et MCITP – Administrateur d'entreprise.

Q.  La certification MCSE est-elle l'équivalent de MCITP : Administrateur de serveur ?

A.

Non, pas exactement. La certification MCITP sur Windows Server 2008 nécessite de nouvelles compétences, souvent plus approfondies, que celles requises pour les certifications MCSE et MCSE. La certification MCITP : Administrateur d'entreprise correspond à un véritable profil métier, ce qui n'est pas le cas de la certification MCSE. Les certifications MCITP combinent compétences informatiques et compétences métier.

Q.  Existe-t-il des certifications MCTS et MCITP qui remplacent les certifications MCSA et MCSE ?

A.

Non. Les certifications MCSA et MCSE ne sont pas remplacées. Il s'agit de certifications pour Microsoft Windows 2000 Server et Windows Server 2003. Les certifications MCTS et MCITP sont conçues pour Windows Server 2008.

Q.  Ma certification MCSE a-t-elle une date d'expiration ?

A.

Non. Vos certifications et spécialisations MCSE présentent toujours de la valeur tant que les entreprises rechercheront des professionnels ayant des compétences sur Microsoft Windows 2000 Server et Windows Server 2003. Les certifications Windows Server 2008 sont conçues pour les personnes qui travaillent ou envisagent de travailler sur Windows Server 2008 ; la mise à jour vers ces certifications ne sont pas nécessaires sir vous ne travaillez pas sur Windows Server 2008.
