升级您的认证涉及什么?

你有你的MCSA在Windows Server 2003和你想升级到Windows Server 2008。或者你根本没有认证，想要在Windows Server 2008上获得MCTS。首先要记住的是，这是一系列新的认证，虽然有一个升级路径，你不是在Windows Server 2008上获得MCSE，而是在Windows Server 2008上获得MCTS或MCITP。还要记住，MCSA/MCSE认证的时代已经结束了——现在是MCTS和MCITP(以及其他超出本文预期范围的认证)，并有一个完全不同的重点。正如我在之前的博客中所说的，微软认证技术专家(MCTS)和微软认证信息技术专家(MCITP)的关注点不同，前者也不是后者的先决条件(它也不是一个“较低”的认证!)MCTS认证针对的是使用特定微软产品或平台的IT专业人员。获得MCTS的IT专业人员应具备对特定产品或平台的深度和广度的知识和技能。他们需要每天管理和维护产品或平台。他们也更关心日常业务和短期规划，而不是长期规划和设计。有三个MCTS轨道可用: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 70-646exam (Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator. As you can see, the upgrade path from MCSA Windows Server 2003 to MCTS on Windows Server 2008 is straight forward – a far cry from the old 70-240 exam!
