Fernando's posting is probably saying it all. The point is that Samba per definition serves Windows clients. We are Linux Professional Institute, so the chances that *we* will certify Windows skills are low. I do not want to comment the quality of MS certifications, it's not my business. The point is: As long as Samba is used to serve Windows clients the admin must be able to configure the clients to use the services that Samba offers. If we certify a LPIC-3 Samba specialist we must know if she/he is able to do that. Except of making an MC?? certificate a prerequisite LPI could also recommend that candidates should be able to testify their MS skills in addition to the LPIC-3 Samba certificate. From what I heard here in Germany, it is very useful to own an MC?? certificate in addition to Linux skills if you want to apply as an administrator on a Samba network.
