The MCP program has conducted recent customer research indicating that current IT environment and industry needs vary widely. In the past two years since Microsoft introduced the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) track in Microsoft Windows® 2000, many candidates as well as their employers expressed concerns with the MCP program’s continuing certification policy. They have clearly indicated that they manage heterogeneous IT environments and therefore need to identify skills on current as well as previous versions of the Windows platform. Furthermore, they recognize that the skills required for designing and implementing a Windows 2000 environment are significantly different from the skills required for Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0; therefore, they want to be able to identify individuals certified on Windows NT 4.0 while the product is still part of their IT environment.
To address this need, the MCP program will replace its continuing certification policy with a plan to recognize multiple, distinct versions of its credentials simultaneously. Microsoft will begin identifying certifications with the operating system or architecturally significant platform associated with the credentials’ core exams. This policy change will allow the ongoing recognition of credentials for as long as they are in demand, while still providing a means to differentiate individuals who have updated their skills to the latest Microsoft technologies.
A key result of this change is that Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers on Windows NT 4.0 will remain certified after December 31, 2001, contrary to previous announcements. MCSEs on Windows 2000 will be identified as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers on Microsoft Windows 2000. MCSEs on Windows NT 4.0 will be identified as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. These identifying titles will appear on certificates, transcripts, and other tools so that candidates will be able to indicate the specific area of expertise represented by their certification.
In addition, individuals certified as Microsoft Certified Database Administrator on Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer + Internet, Microsoft Certified Professional + Internet, Microsoft Certified Professionals + Site Building, and Microsoft Certified Professionals will also remain certified. Please see the Frequently Asked Questions for more details about how these certifications will be identified.
Exceptions are individuals who have already been decertified; those who have not upgraded to the current tracks of their respective certifications will remain decertified.

New Certification: Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator on Microsoft Windows 2000
Another change Microsoft is making in response to the unique industry needs of systems administrator job roles is the introduction of a new certification—the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) on Microsoft Windows 2000 credential. The MCSA certification is designed for professionals who implement, manage, and troubleshoot existing network and system environments based on the Microsoft Windows® 2000 and Windows Server 2003 platforms. Implementation responsibilities include installing and configuring parts of the systems. Management responsibilities include administering and supporting the systems.
Demand for the network administration job function has grown in the past year, and candidates as well as the industry have indicated that a certification for this job function is needed. The MCSA on Windows 2000 credential offers IT professionals a competitive edge in today’s constantly changing business environment by validating the specific experience required by the systems administrator job role. The certification provides employers with a means to identify those qualified individuals with the appropriate skills to do the job successfully.
Candidates must pass a total of four exams to acquire the MCSA on Windows 2000 credential. The requirements include the option to earn CompTIA certifications as an alternative to passing an elective exam. Please see more details about the MCSA certification. Additional information:
