I have the MCITP-EA. Here's the difference:

MCITP: Server Administrator

The MCITP: Server Administrator identifies you with the knowledge and skills to perform day-to-day management of servers in Windows Servers 2008. While it's not a direct match, many people associate the MCITP Server Administrator as being similar to the MCSA in Server 2003.

The skills include:

Handling day-to-day management of the servers
Handling software distribution and updates
Monitoring and auditing servers
Troubleshooting issues

MCITP: Enterprise Administrator

The MCITP: Enterprise Administrator identifies you with the knowledge and skills needed to perform advanced networking tasks including infrastructure design using Windows Server 2008 products. While it's not a direct match, many people associate the MCITP Enterprise Administrator as being similar to the MCSE in Server 2003.

The skills include:

Enterprise systems administrator
IT systems administrator
Systems architect
Network administrator
Enterprise security administrator

Only time can tell, at this present moment probably only 10% of HR people even know of the MCITP:EA/SA. Most jobs I see on Monster are asking for MCSE/MCSA still, with most of them looking for MCSE.

Because the EA hasn't been fully recognized by companies yet, this question is to be determined.

As a general note, you should study for which certification is going to give you the knowledge that you desire. Technically if you are looking only for an administration role, you should get the SA. If you want to be more engineering, then get the EA. If you want as much knowledge as possible, get the EA. And so on...
