Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Database Administrator (MCITP: Database Administrator) is the premier certification
for database server administrators. This certification demonstrates that you can keep up with your enterprise business solutions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Database administrators install or configure Microsoft SQL Server and manage or maintain databases or multidimensional databases, user accounts, database availability, recovery, and reporting. They also design or implement security or server automation and monitor and troubleshoot SQL Server activity. Database administrators are typically employed by mid-size to large organizations.
Microsoft Skills Assessments for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 help database administrators focus their exam preparation training and find learning resources.
How to Earn Your MCITP: Database Administrator
MCITP candidates must first complete the requirements for the MCTS: SQL Server 2005
certification (one exam). After earning this certification, candidates earn their MCITP:
Database Administrator by passing two required exams.
If you are a Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA), you may upgrade to the MCITP: Database Administrator certification by taking one upgrade exam in place of the two required exams. MCDBAs must still obtain the MCTS: SQL Server 2005 certification as a prerequisite.
The following table provides a complete list of exams and related training resources. For exam dates and specific areas of focus, see individual Exam Preparation Guides as the exams become available.
