你的MCSE第一次考试应该是什么?

这并不是一个像乍一看那样直截了当的问题。如何回答这个问题将取决于所涉及的IT专业人员以及他/她可能在IT领域有什么经验。如果这个人是IT领域的新手，并且几乎没有经验，那么你要看的是不同的考试，如果他们有一些实践经验的话。在短时间内学习IT领域并通过一些更困难的测试，实在是有太多的概念、令人困惑的命名法、子网划分、各个部分。还有必须克服的第一个考验——紧张。太糟糕了，老的NT4 70-058(网络必需品)早就不见了。对于刚进入IT领域的人来说，这将是一个完美的“入门”考试。它涵盖了网络、设备和概念等基础知识。那么，刚进入IT领域的人应该进行的第一个测试是什么呢?如果您正在申请MCSA(微软认证系统管理员)认证，那么您可以使用CompTIA a +考试，CompTIA Network+考试或CompTIA Server+考试。 Alternatively you could use the CompTIA Security+ exam. The A+ and Network+ exams are the perfect ones for a new person in the IT field as they test the base knowledge required. But these exams are not offered by Microsoft (but do count for the MCSA as the elective requirement) and the 70-058 exam is no longer available – so what exam does one take now? We have our new entry to the IT Pro field. The new person should (at least hopefully) have some experience – or at least an understanding of the basic concepts, otherwise, the learning curve might prove to be too steep for many entrants. But what exam should the new person be encouraged to study for and take? If this is the first IT certification exam then there is the added pressure of not knowing what to expect. So what are we left with for exam options? The design exams are obviously out – they demand a great deal of background knowledge to even attempt which the newcomer doesn’t have - yet. The higher level networking and infrastructure exams can also be scratched off for the same reason as the design exams – too much background knowledge is required. So, this leaves us with the 70-290 (Managing and Marinating a Windows Server 2003 Environment) and 70-291 (Implementing, Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure). If I had to recommend one of these two, I would suggest the 70-290 as the first of the 2003 track exams.
