Upgrading Your MCSA on Windows Server 2003 Certification

Upgrading Your MCSA on Windows Server 2003 Certification

Let us say that you have your MCSA on Windows Server 2003, and you want to
upgrade your certification to Windows Server 2008, or you are not certified at
all on Windows Server 2003 and want to earn your
MCTS on Windows Server 2008. The first
thing to remember is that this is a series of new certifications and while there
is an upgrade path from Server 2003 to Server 2008, you are NOT earning an MCSE
on Windows Server 2008,

rather an MCTS or MCITP on windows
Server 2008. Also remember that the era of the
MCSA/MCSE certifications has ended –
it is now MCTS and MCITP (and others beyond the scope covered here) and have an
entirely different focus.

The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) has a different focus
then the Microsoft Certified Information Technology Professional (MCITP), and
the former is not a prerequisite for the latter (nor is it a “lesser”
certification!). The MCTS certification
is aimed at IT professionals who work with a specific Microsoft product or
platform. An IT pro who has earned an MCTS is expected to possess depth and
breadth of knowledge

and skills on a particular product or platform. They are expected to manage and
maintain the product or platform on a daily basis. They are also more concerned
with the day-to-day operations and short-term planning rather than long-term
planning and design and design.









There are three MCTS tracks available on Windows Server 2008:

MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration; MCTS: Windows Server
2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration, and MCTS: Windows Server 2008
Applications Infrastructure Configuration. You can take each of the tests
individually, or you can take the upgrade path by taking only one test. The
easiest route to upgrade your certification, if you are already an MCSA on
Windows Server 2003, is take (and pass, of course) the 70-648 TS: Upgrading your
MCSA on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, Technology Specialist exam.
Passing this exam will earn you the MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory,
Configuration (equivalent to the 70-640 exam) and the MCTS: Windows Server 2008
Network Infrastructure Configuration (equivalent to the 70-642 exam). The last
of the three MCTS certifications – MCTS: Window Server 2008 Application
Infrastructure Configuration – is earned by passing the 70-643 exam. The other
part to earning your MCTS on any one of the three paths is to pass the 70-646
exam Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator.

Useful habits to pass Microsoft exams:-

Microsoft exams are not theory based exams.

Microsoft learning suggest you must have one year experience working on platforms, on which you have planned to take exams .. you must have some practical knowledge.. well... in contrast,,

In companies, you won't get hold on those operating system until you have certification
or
some experience
or
any reference (for that post)

But lots of pals study & pass microsoft exams without industrial experience . I have passed microsoft exams & even you can pass these microsoft exams easily! if you are really interested in computer & network technologies..

Here are few habits which you can adopt too like Microsoft professionals, that useful to get done Microsoft exams certifications:

* Experiments, practicals, installations:

Do every installation manually..
especially you are new to It field, (anybody who is concern to technologies won't afraid to do anything with comp... )
but if you are new to IT field & hesitate to do something unknown... experiment all the options & gain experience.
You do all games installations & all.. even this is same as to follow onscreen instructions..

In fact,
Microsoft exams based on these options, setting etc. So try each & every option you can.. you know..
you understand whats written on screen...
you can understand whats written message on screen..
&
we are not so dump that we can make serious problem to our hardware..
&
some software crashes we can handle them..
i mean.. we can troubleshoot them.. reinstall them..
&
that's what Microsoft professionals job 'to troubleshoot'...


Reading " Microsoft help" :
Any Microsoft's operating system's help menu is a treasures of knowledge..

If you have ever checked & read the Microsoft's help then you will know.. after all which exams you are giving about man!!! Microsoft Operating system's !!!

just go to help & search FDISK - you will get detail knowledge .. all hard disk types, different command options.. everything.. basic knowledge you need to know.. you will get it from there.. & even more than just basic knowledge..

when i was working in It firm I was addicted to read XP help .. & then somehow i connected to these microsoft exams.. I felt all these microsoft exams easy.. cause all stuff about operating systems require to learn for microsoft exams, i had already covered in reading Xp help menu..


Troubleshooting & computer maintenance:

Solve your & any body's PC problem..
not only software problem but hardware too.. search for help on net to solve those problems... after all you want to be Microsoft professionals.

It is useful in Industrial job but is it useful for microsoft exams ?

of-course,
If you have seen Microsoft exams result report... in some old reports you will find microsoft's testing method on different different levels.. such as maintenance, troubleshooting, its services, features etc. on how much you know..


Do as directed:

whenever you read microsoft exams study guide or books.. Do as suggested.. Do whatever you are learning from the book.. practice all options mention in the book..

read all kinds of stuff.. & select which is the best for you... & revise it..


Do not compare yourself with anybody..

follow your own path...
Select training method which is best for you.. not what other select...
select exam which are in your interests.. not what other choose.

Plan your own path & stick to it..
read other people stories & know that even you can do it in your own way...

there are cheating ways that people use to pass exams..
but it's really not worth to loose your integrity & untrust yourself for these simple microsoft exams.. which you can easily passed with little effort & planning. Just do not waist chance to be proud of yourself by giving Microsoft exams yourself.....

Remember thousands of people pass Microsoft exams & become Microsoft certified, with some dedication & simple efforts.. there is no reason, that you can't pass microsoft exams.
