Hello, I'm attempting to figure out which certification within MS would be
the best for one getting work, two becoming a MCSE and or three staying
viable for the future. Basically, I have 15 years experience from the bad
old
days of 3.1 up to server 2k. I have been a sys admin for a DNS server, an
app
server, an SQL server and a file server as well as a security person for
an
iSeries server. I have also been a man of many hats, desktop sup****t,
hardware software you name it I have done a lot of different things (web
master etc.) The main draw back to my experience is that it was all done
in a
non-domain environment everything had to be done manually over and over as
far as permissions etc. So, I have no experience with AD, or GPO's etc. I
have read about all this stuff using Minasi's book "Windows 2k server"
second
edition, but have no actual hands on experience with domain based systems.
I
also have a lot of experience with writing scripts batch files you name
from
the "CMD" so my main question is what is most in demand for employment
(got
laid off after 12 years, because the co. is having a financially bad time)
two would it be better to go with a desktop cert like XP or Vista, or is
it
better to work toward an older cert like 2003 MCSE. Basically, I’m not
working with any of this stuff right now so I would be doing all the
cerftication stuff on my own using books and a little lab I would setup
at
home.
Thanks for your time and help ahead of time.
