Hello,
I am looking for some inspiration please - I would like to get trained up to MCITP level, however I am unsure as to the correct route?
I have used MS systems since Windows 95 and have always been interested in computing, software and particularly hardware configurations, but when I go to the MS certification website all I read is:
Prerequisites - two years using Microsoft Exchange Server in an environment blah blah blah.....
Well can someone explain to me how you get a job doing that if you cant get trained on it first? Employers wont give you a job if you havent got the Quals, so its a bit chicken and egg really.
All I want is a clearer path to follow to enable me to gain MCITS in Server 2008/10?
Any stories of how people got into their jobs in this field please enlighten me!
Thanks very much!

Hi Nick,
I am not a windows server professional but rather more on the BI, SQL server path so I will defer to the Server experts among us here but you might want to take a look at this page if you haven't already:
www.microsoft.com/.../cert-windowsserver.aspx
It might help you choose your profile situation and the exam that would suit you.
This module section of the MS Learning site I am finding is great in helping me chart my pathway...
Hope it helps some...

Thanks very much for that, it was helpful! Going to start on MCTS: Windows 7, Configuration as a first step and go on from there.
Cheers,
Nick
That's great, glad I could help & the TechNet center for that particular technology might be helpful to you as well @ technet.microsoft.com/.../dd361745.aspx
Good luck to you.

Windows 7 is a great place to start. You may also want to get access to some of the virtual labs from microsoft to try out some of the server related features you may not have access to on a standalone machine. You can check them out here - www.microsoft.com/.../default.mspx
Have a Great Day
