    Hi All,

    I am working on Server 2008 Certification but cannot find an equal to MCSE Security. Does any one know what Security based certifications are available with Server 2008?

    Many thanks,

    Since you are already MCTIP, I would not go anymore for MCSA 2003 Security. And it's retiring in a year so the effort is almost useless I think (my personal view).

    What also a very good and considerd a very hard security certification is CISSP:

    See here for more information about CISSP. I know some Microsoft employees are also CISSP certified so it might be something for you.

    Certifications: MCSA 2003|MCSE 2003|MCTS(4*)| MCTIP:SA

    There is no security specialization anymore in Windows Server 2008, for the core security technology's they are integrated in the tracks of MCTIP:Server Administrator and MCTIP: Enterprise Administrator

    But If you want a certification which is about security I would go for:

    MCTS: Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006, Configuration

    Certifications: MCSA 2003|MCSE 2003|MCTS(4*)| MCTIP:SA

    Thanks shadowman123,

    Do you think that if going for that certification it will be worth completing 'MCSA 2003 Security' with this certification?

    I do see that this certification retires in March 2011 so I will have to get onto it, will be good to have a path to go with this.
