i think it really depands on your IT department and the task that you handle. I strongly belive that for someone who has been in IT and works with Windows platform should have an MCSE. When i look to hire engineers to my team for mid and senior admin position i require MCSE. As far as other vendor certs in my eyes VCP and CCA are something that each mid and senior level engineer should posses. But once again it depands on your infastructure as there is no sense to have a CCA if you dont run citrix... As the senior egineer and network manager i am investigating Project manager certification let faceit most task you do in windows is a project and requires involment multiple departments.

Rather just do ISC(2) certs and have CPE’s than take the exams everything 2-3 years. Honestly, it be really nice to see M$ adopt that mentality, they never will tho. Only Cert in M$ I am looking to do is MCTS/MCTIP in SQL 2005/2008. (SQL 2005 is a lot of fun, once you learn it, and I am stoked about 2k8 enhancements) Other than that its CISSP/SSCP/CEH/CISA/CISM and then out of sys_admin hell for me.. Z Edward E.
