The Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification continues to be the premier certification for professionals who analyze the business requirements and design and implement the infrastructure for business solutions based on the Microsoft Windows Client systems and Microsoft Windows Server System. The strength of Windows Server in the market today indicates that demand for related IT expertise will continue for years to come.
A Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) designs and implements an infrastructure solution that is based on the Windows operating system and Windows Server System software. Implementation responsibilities include installing, configuring, and troubleshooting network systems.
