The Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) certification certifies a user's knowledge in system administration of Microsoft Windows operating systems and is generally simpler than, but not a subset of, the MCSE. The Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) certification will advance your career by ensuring you have the skills to successfully manage and troubleshoot system environments running on the Microsoft Windows operating system.

|
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is Microsoft’s most scalable, reliable, and high-performing server operating system to date, built to handle the most complex business applications. It is designed to simplify migration from previous versions of Windows, managing mission-critical data with enhanced security technology and providing maximum server uptime for sophisticated business needs. |
|
The Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) credential recognizes IT professionals who implement, manage, and maintain network and system environments based on the Microsoft Windows Server System. Whether you are new to the IT industry or a seasoned professional, you can pursue a training path and achieve MCSA certification with a focus on the latest technology—Microsoft Windows Server 2003. |
|
|
|
The Windows Server 2003 MCSA is achieved upon passing 2 networking system exams, a client operating system exam (generally Microsoft Windows XP), and an elective exam. The Windows Server 2000 MCSA title is granted after taking 3 core exams and one elective. Although the MCSA isn't a subset of the MCSE, it is possible to gain an MCSA on the way to an MCSE without doing any exams that are extraneous to the MCSE on Windows 2000.
|
|
Whereas the MCSE is supposed to certify a person's ability to "plan, design, and implement Microsoft Windows server solutions and architectures in medium- to large-sized companies", the MCSA certifies a holder's ability to "implement, manage, and maintain the typically complex computing environment of medium- to large-sized companies".
