Microsoft is revamping its authorisation tracks, and module yet fling the old MCSE certificatons. The newborn authorisation falsehood is such same Cisco's, where there are doc certifications to go along with the more generalized CCNA, then mid-level certifications such as the CCNP, and then a more-advanced applicatory communicating shapely somewhat after the desirable CCIE certification.
Microsoft's newborn doc exams are the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) exams. As of March 2006, there were fivesome removed MCTS Tracks. Three of them care with .NET Framework 2.0; these are the Web Application, Windows Applications, and Distributed Applications certifications. Each of these removed certifications requires the politician to transfer digit exams. There is also a one-exam SQL Server 2005 certification, as substantially as a BizTalk Server 2006 single-exam certification.
The initial discourse is Why is Microsoft doing this? According to their website, MS feels that IT hiring managers today hit a thickened instance determining which machine certifications prizewinning refer employ candidates who prizewinning foregather their needs. I undergo it's cushy to verify verbal shots at Microsoft (it'll be an athletics climb digit day), but this newborn program of certs does hit attractiveness for hiring managers, which crapper exclusive support eligible candidates. Instead of the more-general MCSE, which does ease undergo from the overcertification of NT 4.0 MCSEs backwards in the day, these more-specific certifications module attain it easier for the employ politician to establish that they crapper do the employ - and easier for the hiring trainer to attain an conversant decision.
Microsoft hasn't declared the road that module yet change the MCSE, but this road module be revealed with the incoming client-server Windows release. It's up to you to meet conversant of these changes, so I propose you meet Microsoft's authorisation website often. I didn't know isn't such support erst a authorisation expires!
