Microsoft MCSA Certification
Updated in | May 11, 2011 |
The
Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) certification Program
helps to validate an individual's ability to manage and troubleshoot
network environments based on the Windows Server 2003 operating system.
As an alternative to the electives on the MCSA, electives like table,
certifications or certification combination may substitute as MCSA
electives. For example, CompTIA A+ and Network+ together or CompTIA A+
and Server+ together can be credited and substituted as an elective
through a Microsoft and CompTIA partnership agreement. An individual
may also substitute Security+ alone, which counts for the elective and
one of two exams for the "Security Specialization." Security+ counts
for MCSA 2003 and MCSE 2003. This is just one of the cost effective
ways for earning an MCSA, if candidates are already certified in other
areas of the Certification program.
