Основной страницей по поводу сертификации на данный момент является https://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/windowsserver/2008/default.mspx, где рассказывает о принципах новой сертификации, а также о процессе апгрейда с сертификации по Windows Server 2003 на Windows Server 2008/

I am interested in earning up-to-date certifications focused on messaging or security

Consider earning an MCTS or MCITP certification on related technologies (Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006, or Microsoft Forefront). There will not be messaging or security specializations for Windows Server 2008 certifications; those areas have been broken into separate paths to allow for simplified exam roadmaps.

Find an MCTS certification

I am new to certification and work with Windows Vista

Consider earning the MCTS: Windows Vista Configuration certification as your first step. This one-exam certification is an excellent introduction to the MCP community, adds a Windows Vista certification to your resumé, and fulfills a requirement or elective for many of the Windows Server certification tracks.
