Hi there

Im currently studying Security + at a local college here in Ireland and home studing Vista 70-620.

I hope to sit these exams in January and fingers crossed pass.I will then look for a new job I currently work at level 1 on a helpdesk.

What do I do next do I do next do I do two more exams and get my MCSA using Sec+ as elective or do I do MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician but Im concerned as Vista is not popular and will this be of use?

I could also do MCITP: Enterprise Administrator or MCITP: Server Administrator

Thanks
Noel

Its best to go for technologies you work with so if they use 2003 then i would go for the 2k3 track. remember there are upgrade exams so you can upgrade to 2008 in just a few exams anyway.

A good common combination is the MCSE/CCNA. then most take it from there. This will also give you a taste of two different worlds

Good luck.

Here are the MCSE requirements: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcse/windows2003/default.mspx

MCSA:http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcsa/windows2003/default.mspx

You have core exams which you have to take then have several electives. S+ can be used towards MCSE. it may also be worth doing an exchange exam to get some experiance with microsoft Exchange.

If you havent done any MS exams i would start with the client exam - probably do vista as it will count towards 2008 track. Then start on the server exams for the track you choose.

Use vmware server to create virtual machines and start learning how to use the platforms etc.
