Hey all, through my University we have access to the microsoft e-learning and all their exam material, we also get discounted exam rates. So i have been looking into obtaining the MCITP as an enterprise admin however im trying to find out exactly what exams etc.,. i must take to obtain this. from what i can see from the roadmap i need to complete 3-4 courseworks aswell??

http://www.microsoft.com/education/MSITAcademy/curriculum/roadmap/default.mspx

I was under the impression that it was around 3-7 exams only.

Can someone please shed some light on this.

Ive got access to the learning material and have a 2008r2 server with hyper-v and multiple instances installed ready for some practical practice.

Many Thanks

Daniel

TLDR: What exams must i take to become MCITP:Enterprise Admin certified.
 
has anyone got any sites or material that is freely available and usefull for studying for these exams, even if it includes mock exams and information on them such as amount of questions, time to do it ,marking schemes etc... or even information on the material needing to be learned.

Many Thanks

Daniel
 
In all honesty I wouldn't bother doing the MS exams if you're not already working in the industry. There's a lot to learn, and for the qualification to matter, you need to be working with AD/ 2008 on a daily basis.

Doing it without a real-world environment will just add you to the scores of paper-MCSE/MCTIPs that already devalue the qualification.
 
Thankfully, nowadays, there's not many paprt based MCITP: EA's out there due ot the added simulations and much more emphasis on real world.

I would agree, though, that really you should be working in that kind of environment. Not many employers are going to hire you without the relevant experience whereby you've put the qualification to use.

All exams I've ever done have had a pass mark of 700/1000 (70%). Time wise it varies from exam to exam. Normally between 90 minutes and 4 hours.

A home lab, at the very least, is a must for doing this kind of stuff you really need to understand Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Ports programs use, Firewalls, etc. before you're going to be anywhere near the level ready to go and take the exams.

The exams are not that easy as well Microsoft ask questions in a unique manner whereby if you misread or skim read then it's very easy to get the questions wrong.
