Microsoft have updated their exam retirement policy, unlike the MCSA & MCSE certifications on Windows Server 2003 which once passed will at the time of writing never retire, Microsoft have introduced a lifecycle policy for the MCTS, MCITP or MCPD, to ensure that these certifications are kept relevant and up to date.

One of my readers - Anne Frank - has asked me a question which I am regularly asked, so I have posted it and my reply in this post.
Firstly there will be no MCSA (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator) or MCSE Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) on Windows Server 2008, these qualifications are currently only available with Windows Server 2003 and will be replaced by the new qualifications – MCTS (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) and MCITP (Microsoft Certified IT Professional).

This is the second level of Microsoft’s new certification track covering relevant job related skills including design, project management, operations management, and planning
The Professional Series certifications are designed to provide a reliable indicator of on-the-job performance and will be retired when mainstream product support for the particular technology expires
An example of this certification is:
Exam 70-622 Pro: Microsoft Desktop Support - ENTERPRISE for IT professionals who work in an enterprise environment with experience of deploying Windows Vista, managing security and troubleshooting network-related issues with Windows Vista.
Other MCITP certifications are available, visit the Microsoft web site for further details
NOTE: See our News article dated 28 June 2007 on the proposed new Windows Server 2008 MCITP track
