Hello all. Only signed up a short time ago and this is my first post.

I am an IT Technician who graduated with an ICT degree two years ago. I have decided to get some certifications and have chosen to go down the Windows 7 route rather than XP.

I am just wondering what the main differances between:

Enterprise Desktop Support Technician 7 or Desktop Administrator 7

In terms of content?

    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    It really depends on your job or your employment ambitions. The desktop admin (70-686) is geared towards desktop design/deployment in an enterprise environment. The desktop support tech (70-685) is more related to help desk or hardware/software support; although it may be somewhat helpful for network admins.

    Personally, if you are thinking about getting the 686, you may as well do the 685 first. I have the 680 and the 685. I plan on getting the 686 after I complete the MCITP-SA. I am also waiting on the 686 MS Press book, which should be out in October/November. There is a book out already that covers the 685 and the 686 combined. It may be okay, but I prefer the MS Press books.

    Hope this all helps!
