I know i'm far away from getting my MCITP certification; I just started preparing for my MCDST certification, but I want to know the difference between MCITP: Server Administrator & Enterprise [Enterprise Administrator (exam: 70-640, 70-642, 70-643) & server Administator (exams: 70-640, 70-642, 70-646)].
I see there are 2 common exams but the third exam is either 70-646 or 70-647 but what is the difference in the real IT world ? and should I go for MCITP Enterprise or MCITP Server Administrator ?
Please advise.
Thks!

Hello,

Thank you very much for writing in my forum. I will try to explain the difference and value of both MCITP Server and MCITP Enterprise certifications.

I think there is some mistake in your understanding about both exams. MCITP Server Administrator Tack contains 3 examinations and the MCITP Enterprises track contains 5 examinations

MCITP Server Administrator Track
Exam 70-640: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring
Exam 70-642: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring
Exam 70-646: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator

MCITP Enterprise Administrator Track
Exam 70-640: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring
Exam 70-642: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring
Exam 70-643: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuring

plus either
Exam 70-620: Configuring Microsoft Windows Vista Client
or
Exam 70-624: Deploying and Maintaining Windows Vista Client and 2007 Microsoft Office System Desktops (This exam retires on October 31, 2010)
or
Exam 70-680: Windows 7, Configuring

and

Exam 70-647: Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Administrator

The Enterprise track of MCITP is more better to have skills in administrating a Windows infrastructure contains Servers as well as workstations. Server Track of MCITP deals only with Administrating Servers. So I suggest you to get MCITP Enterprises track Certification
