I have just passed my Citrix CCA on Xenapp 6 and would now like to do some Server and Exchange server qualifications. I see myself working in a server role/Infrastructure role supporting Active Directory and both exchange server and Citrix

So what do i have to do to become a MCITP ? which exams should i do ? is it like the old MCSE where u had to pass 5 different MCP exams to become a MCSE ? i have had a look on the Microsoft MCITP qualification page but doesnt make much sence then there is also MCSA ? im confused what is the difference ?

Thanks
 
MCITP: Server Administrator

Exam 70-640

Exam 70-642

Exam 70-646

Then im guessing for Exchange Server

MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010

Exam 70-662

Exam 70-663

Correct ? :)
 
What experience do you have in the field? I find that despite working in IT for nearly 10 years I still learn a fair amount from these MS certifications but definitely benefit from having real world experience. Currently studying for my 70-662 which seems to be pretty easy going so after taking a few MeasureUp exams.

MCITP in what? :)
MCSA is for 2003/xp and soon to be dead.

MCSA / MCSE are, if Microsoft are still honoring it, pinacle achievements. Unlike the MCTS exams they don't expire.

MCSE used to be 7 exams to achieve. The MCITP: EA is five so it's a little easier.

MCITP: SA is the equivalent of the MCSA. MCITP: EA is the equivalent of the MCSE. Obviously you can take the extra exams from MCITP: SA to EA.

As others have said - pick where you want to be then start taking the exams to achieve it - if you have a lot of understanding about MS systems then that should help a lot but you'll still need to study a fair deal.

Am not doubting that at all, but I'm not sure how much longer MS are going to be offering them, that was the point of my comment not that they are old and useless :p not sure if they are being retired any time soon along with the MCDST which is on it's way out.

I'd have thought not just yet seeing as there's still plenty of people looking for MCSE certified people.

Also I wouldn't say the number of exams dictates the difficulty as such, just easier on your time :)

This is all well and good, but I can't for the life of me find a test centre that's within 60miles of my house!

EDIT: Just checked Prometric webiste and theres a test centre opened 10miles from me :)
