MCSE Certification

MCSE Certification demonstrates the ability to design, implement and maintain Windows Server 2000/2003 based infrastructures.

Before the MCTS and MCITP certifications came onto the scene, the MCSE was the go-to credential for IT professionals specializing in the implementation and maintenance of Microsoft technologies. The Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification validates expertise in designing, implementing, and managing infrastructures for businesses running Microsoft Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003.

Becoming a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer shows employers and clients that you can manage, design, and implement infrastructures based on the Windows Server platform. This includes installing and troubleshooting networks as well as using Active Directory. MCSE certification enables you to both manage a company's Active Directory and plan for its future development.

Even though Windows Server 2000 and Server 2003 are nearing the end of their product life-cycles, the MCSE still holds value as many companies are still using these popular Microsoft technologies. Microsoft also provides upgrade exams so Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers can quickly earn the more current and job-role specific MCTS and MCITP certificates.
