MCSE Video Training Thread
- Thread starter VegasGuy
- Start date
just like in the past if you are a current mcse you can upgrade via exam or there are new titles and tests for the 2008 track. Some products havent been upgraded to 2008 so they are still valid but basically all the 2000 line is being retired.
They have a shitload of new titles, some more high profile "architect" titles that require more robust shit. Check out ms' cert page. Youll be reading for awhile - they overhauled a big chunk of their cert program. Hopefully this will weed out the bullshit and add more value back into the certs.
thanks- i just copped what i needed +powershell from demonoid - couldnt fuck with those billion rapidshare links
MCSE was replaced with the MCITP (Microsoft Certified IT Professional). You can upgrade to the MCITP but it breaks down into specific tracks or fields of study and therefore is more specific where as MCSE touches on everything. Atleast thats I get from reading I could be wrong though. It almost seems like they're trying to turn this into something like a college degree where you're almost forced to read/buy their books and sign up for their classes that is if you're truly interested or "serious".
• MCITP: Business Intelligence Developer
• MCITP: Business Intelligence Developer 2008
• MCITP: Consumer Support Technician
• MCITP: Database Developer
• MCITP: Database Developer 2008
• MCITP: Database Administrator
• MCITP: Database Administrator 2008
• MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator
• MCITP: Enterprise Project Management with Microsoft Office Project Server 2007
• MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician
• MCITP: Enterprise Administrator
• MCITP: Server Administrator
I guess to many people were successful in getting the MCSE in hopes of hitting the lotto and oversaturated the market for every IT profession, so now they're trying to specify... So bascially you can have a MCITP but if you don't have a MCITP 'in' Database Administration, don't apply with for the $80K/year Database Administrator job with a MCITP in Business Intelligence Developer or even a MCSE.

The only tracks that require work being accepted into special training and extra stuff is the architect line
THey suggest********* you take classes etc. Its not like Oracle where you cant even take the tests without attending a fuckin paid oracle class.
Free second shot at a test and $35 for an elearning It Professional course at microsoft

I don't mean "require" like they outright say it or force you to pay. They want you to fail and/or be confused at $125 a test. What it seems like they're doing is forcing you to focus on something. They don't want you; a 'general' MCSE, applying for "their" Network Administrator jobs if you're not a "MCITP Server Administrator" or "MCITP Enterprise Administrator". Those certs therefore require 'specific' training, books or testing to obtain which means more $$$$ out of your pocket and into theirs. They don't force you to do anything, they just block your earning power/position with what you have in the work place.
People realized how important the MCSE was, and alot of companies never knew what it really meant but yet and still required it. Bascially you would have someone with a MCSE applying for a "Database Administrator" and not know what the fuck was going on or a 'MCP' claiming they could be a Systems Analyst.
Fortunately for us or ME lol, no one likes Vista, my job barely has XP on every computer and no company is in a hurry to upgrade there entire system to Server 2008 with little to know benefit other than 'performance'.

I disagree. THey dont want you to fail. THey will even give u a free second shot. The tracks are all pretty much the same - server messaging, database and programming
mcse has gotten to the point it doesnt mean shit
they are moving toward how cisco has their certs - where there is a top tier to differentiate experts from one another
mcitp doesnt require anything but a series of tests - no classes - if you dont have the experience or ability to follow books and videos enough to learn whats required for the tests then you dont have any business taking the test anyway
the requirements for mcitp are about the same as how mcse was anyway - about 5 tests
I rather the certs be tougher. Pull more cash that way

Just getting back to ya bruh. Makkonnen pretty much nailed it. Don't be discouraged if this is something you REALLY want to do and have the necessary discipline to pursue. As Mak said the MCSE has taken a hit on the prestige side but still has some relevance. Per Microsoft it is NOT being replaced...
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/upgrade/ws2003/default.mspx
"The best way to demonstrate you have those skills—and to inspire confidence in a hiring manager, your team, and yourself on Windows Server 2003—is with the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) and Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) credentials. These credentials will not retire."
That being said it is important if you are pursuing any certs to stay up on current exams so you spend your time preparing with the most pertinent information. Everything posted here appears still good for now with one exception (70-228)
Again piggy-backing off what Mak and GA brought up. Microsoft has decided to NOT let the MCSE be its signature credential in the marketplace and has broadened it's scope decisively to include an array of credentials some of which overlap. What I mean is some of the exams can apply to more than one cert. In any case it's cha-ching for microsoft, more exams more money.
My recommendation to anyone about these certs would be to set a timeline and get it done. The cert situations are constantly changing much like a moving target, you can't just aim without shooting/striking or the target will fade into the distance. In that instance you've lost time actively watching the target fade away when you could have been doing something else altogether different.
Here's a brief overview of Microsoft's thinking on their certs today. You can click on the link to explore other links for more details

Re: Learnkey (MCSE Training Suite Complete) All Tracks in 5 DVD.
oh no doubt playa but the thing is this, I already had a mcsa before I had my ccnp, so in this market a mcse+ccnp mnakes me more marketable in a shorter amount of time vs a CCIE that can take a year or more now mark my words I'll get that IE and it will take priority after the ITIL that I'll lock in after the mcse is done I'm debating the upgrade exam for mcitp but im the type that needs achievement for motivation so the mcse and the other small test will serve as small milestone on my way.
Now get your a$$ back in the ccna thread and answer my cabling question

can I watch these on my mac? these are just dvds right? awesome drop
the TEST OUT set of dvd's are .nrg files, which are image files. as long as you have something on your mac to mount .nrg files you're cool or you can burn them to disc i THINK that should work.
for the first set of training vids (learnkey) i think you have to install it and then play the vids so that might be pc specific. BUT, technically, there are video .avi files if you look in the MEDIA folder of each cd, so you can technically watch all the avi files without installing the helper application.
thanks!
Ms always retires older exams normally about 2 generations back, lok at the sql stuff those are sql 2k exams but they are releasing or released sql 2008 if im not mistaken, so 2k was replaced with sql 2005 and when sql 2011 drops they will retire the 05 exams.
its a cycle they run
not so much the exams but wondering about the material. so its basically retiring 2000/2001 material and moving on to 2005? or something like that?
anyway, i'll look at the material regardless. knowledge is always power as they say
Re: Learnkey (MCSE Training Suite Complete) All Tracks in 5 DVD.
Oh man!
I'm overwhelmed right now son. Where do you start on this? Does it make a difference that it's 2000???
I'm trying to do this shit but I'm lost. I'm good at learning and applying but I'm bad as hell on direction. Somebody just point me in the right direction please.

well the material is never retired persay, if you want to look some 2k material there inst anything that will ever stop that and if you wnat to work in a environment heavily vested in that technology you cant go wrong with that approach.
What do i need to get so i can copy all the links and have them automatically download one after the other?

well chit GG bring the noise in this biitch, lol
on the real when you start to study all you need is ONE nice system (not your main bax) max out the memory on it run virtual machine on it and just know how to do the things each test talks about you dont need ore than that for ANY MCSE level test, and since I'm up to my last one I speak from what I KNOW not theory.
good daaamn lookign on the sql stuff though,
