Windows Server2008證照攻略－MCSE

隨著微軟作業系統的普及，考取MCSE證照的人越來越多，由於稀有性降低，投資報酬率也日漸低落。不過對於想進入IT產業的新鮮人來說，擁有MCSE證照仍有加分作用。而對已進入社會工作的人士，由於微軟的Windows XP與Windows Server 2003分別是當前最普遍的用戶端與伺服器作業系統，因此藉由MCSE相關課程的訓練，即使不參與認證考試，也有助於熟練與掌握這些作業平臺的使用與設定技巧，改善工作效率。

展望未來，微軟即將在明年推出全新一代的作業平臺Windows Server 2008，連帶地也造成了認證上的變化。雖然MCSE不會升級到Windows Server 2008，相關認證都會轉移到新的MCTS與MCITP體系，但微軟也提供可從MCSE升級到MCTS以及MCITP的Windows Server 2008相關認證的捷徑。因此MCSE仍能看作未來Windows Server 2008證照的基礎，不會在作業平臺更動後就失效。

改版在即，應考人數逐年下降
自1992年微軟推出MCSE認證以來，至今MCSE已有對應於Windows NT 4.0、Windows 2000與Windows Server 2003三種作業平臺的三個版本，全球累計考取人數分別為39.5萬、28.8萬與8.6萬餘人，呈現出很明顯的遞減趨勢，顯示早期考取者對升級的興趣有限。至於在每年通過人數方面，2003年以前平均每年為1萬多人， 2004年以後降到5,000人左右。

而在臺灣的報考者方面，自2005年以來平均每年考取人數約在450人上下，同樣較前幾年降低不少。這或許和Windows Server 2008即將推出，有興趣考取證照者持觀望態度所致。待明年Windows Server 2008正式上市後，應會出現一股考取相關MCTS、MCITP或從MCSE升級的風潮。至於舊版的MCSE 2000則會隨著微軟停止對Windows 2000的支援，將於2008年初廢止。
