If I were you and Citrix is going to be a big part of your time I'd concentrate on CCA and CCAA. Or if you can and you're interested enough, get some NetScaler training and certification. Its under the Citrix umbrella and is a big growth area, I'm sure Webster would agree.
But by all means keep your server/AD current - it helps with everything else. ---Blackberried -----Original Message----- From: Mathew Shember <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:47:48 To: NT System Admin Issues<[email protected]> Reply-To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]>Subject: RE: Certification time? That's the thing of it. What to chase? I have small company mentality which basically covers all areas. We were acquired and now I am more specialized with engineering support and citirx/vmware. The Microsoft stuff was because they gave it to me as they are a linux shop so the linux people didn't want to dirty their hands. They gave me a bunch of training stuff for 2003 and I am wondering if that would be a waste of time..... Thanks!

I have some legacy MS certs but last few years have concentrated on Citrix/VMWare/AppSense because of the relevance to the areas I wanted to specialize in. ---Blackberried ________________________________ From: Mathew Shember <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:07:19 +0000 To: NT System Admin Issues<[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> ReplyTo: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Certification time? First off to avoid the question and value of certifications; I tend to view them as resume garnish which helps get you by HR filters. The question is which to pursue? I think all of mine have expired and my new organization seems to place value on them. They have all the training stuff for 2003 but I am thinking that's a little too old even though it seems to be in many places. One guy told me why not get it and then take the upgrade test for 2008? Redhat Engineer? Worth it? The ever present CCNA and CCNP. At the moment I am out of the networking areas but will probably reup. Vmware. Any value to VCP? Citrix? Any other areas?
