Introduction

Servers are important tools used on modern networks. They provide email support, file and print services, application functionality, and so much more. Server administrators are in high demand, and modern technologies such as virtualization and cloud computing have only increased the importance of the server administrator’s job.

The Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) certification is a certification provided for entry-level professionals and those with long careers in the industry who have never acquired a certification credential. It includes three separate tracks: Information Technology (IT) Professional, Developer, and Database. The IT Professional track is for individuals pursuing work as administrators. The Developer track is for individuals pursuing work as programmers and software engineers. The Database track is for individuals pursuing work as database administrators and database developers.
