MCSE: reinvented. Microsoft has reintroduced the MCSA, MCSE, and MCSD certifications. Although the new MCSA and MCSE certifications share the same letters as the old Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator and Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, they now have the new designation of Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate and Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert.

 

The new certification tracks will be tied to all new Microsoft technologies and according to Microsoft the MCSA is even being included in the current Windows Server 2008 certification path.

 

The New MCSA, MCSE and MCSM Certifications

 

Here is the breakdown of the new certification tracks for IT professionals:

 

 

The chart above establishes that:

 

• • MCTS is being mapped to the new MCSA
  • MCPD is being mapped to the new MCSD
  • MCITP is being mapped to the new MCSE

 

Microsoft has also renamed the Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) to the Microsoft Certified Solutions Master (MCSM).
