Certification Road Map Help

loucetios

Hi, I recently got my MCTS in Windows 7 Configuration, thanks to another thread I had I chose to go with the 70-685 Enterprise Desktop Support Technician since it will give me both a MCITP and MCSA and since Windows 7 is fresh in my head/will help me with my current Job at a Help Desk.

I think I have a pretty good road map of my next few certifications based on feed back/what I want to do in the future (Thinking systems administrator)

Tell me what you think and if there are changes I should make

1. MCTS 70-680 Windows 7 Configuration (Achieved)

2. MCITP/MCSA 70-685 Windows 7 Enterprise Desktop Support Technician

3. CCENT 100-101 Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1

4. CCNA 200-101 Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2

5. MCSA(1/3) 70-410 Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012

6. MCSA (2/3) 70-411 Administering Windows Server 2012

7. MCSA (3/3) 70-412 Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services

Any Suggestions, re-ordering or other certifications I should go for?

Thanks in Advanced!

I think it's a good plan. Going for Cisco after 70-685 should tell you if you like the networking side of things and if you want to go further with that, if you are just OK at it or you think you still want the Microsoft side of things then you can continue on to MCSA. Having both MCSA and CCNA should open plenty of doors to get more experience and then decide what you would like to make a career of. Take one step at a time though...

Seems good to me.
I found the 785 to be much easier than the 780...
Good luck!

Your plan is similar to mine. Except I took the 70-686 instead of the 70-685. I probably will attempt to take the CCENT ICND1 next month and work on getting the MCSA Server 2012 next year. Good luck to you.
