    I received my MCDST awhile ago and just finished my A+ Certification exams. I'm trying to decided which certifications to obtain next and this brings me to the questions below: 

    Are there self paced training materials available for the Exam 70-685: MCITP Enterprise Desktop Support Technician 7 and the Exam 70-686 Administrator Exam available? If not how can you find classes focusing on just these exams?
     
    Do either of these exams apply towards MCSA or MCSE ? If not, which do potential employers value more the MCITP certification track or the MCSA/MCSE track? 

    Thanks for your help!

    If you check Amazon.com, they have several books for the 70-685 and 70-686 certification exams.

    Neither counts towards the MCSA/MCSE.  Keep in mind that Windows XP is almost 9 years old.  Many companies are starting to adopt Windows 7/Server 2008, in fact at a faster pace than what was anticipated, so having the MCITP in Windows 7 would be of great benefit.
