I had work buy me the books from PeachPit Press. I'm excited to finally get to my certs. I'm fresh out of college. The company I work for secured a huge contracts with one of the local schools here to set up a Mac environment. I'm strong on the client side and I want to learn ALL I can on the server side

Yeah I picked up the 10.4 book from peachPit but never got around to finishing my ACTC. I have the OS cert already and the hardware ones, just not the server.

My work did spring for Casper Certified Admin over the summer though, so I can now add that to my credentials.

I would like to go all the way and get the Apple Certified System Administrator cert. Work will pay for all the certs I want. I've also been looking at some CompTIA certs as well. I know somewhere along the way I should try to go for a microsoft cert, but I have such a short attention span and reading those questions is torture. Besides there are so many ways of doing things, I'm afraid I would fail the test because I wouldn't want to do it the "microsoft" way.

I have my MCP in windows 2000 but it is expired. I will probably get around to updating that and getting a windows server cert.

I have the following so far

A+, MCP, Apple (desktop, portable, OS - Just need server), CCA, HP APS, Gateway, Epson, HP laserjet certs (I have a ton of these, probably all outdated now), and I have some other vendor and product specific certs.

I will get my OS X Server cert next definitely, and I would too also like to get my ACSA. I am getting so much hands on experience now being a directory admin for my job and managing 6,000 mac clients.

I am going to see if they will send me to server training class, my work will spring for that.

I am definitely going to work on the A+ next. I'm tossing around the Security+. I'm still deciding if it would be relevant to get my MCP on Windows XP or just go for Vista. We still support a ton of XP boxes and not that many vista boxes.
