  2. Whos uses Windows 8? Companies in are still migrating to Windows 7, you
    also don’t noticed if you have a MCITP its the same as a MCSA.

  3. Sorry, incorrect information. Anything you say opposite to what I comment
    below, I can counter. Let’s start with 100% real facts. I’ve been working
    on computers before “NT” certifications. Certifications were made to make
    more $$$money$$ from software and hardware OEM companies. CompTIA A+ is
    “the best” and “most important” cert to have. The reason why, is the
    majority of of people who study and gain M.S. certs, don’t have 1/10th, of
    the troubleshooting skills needed in their jobs. Even years afterwards, and
    I see that on a continual basis. Even people that have so called “high
    level certifications” can’t troubleshoot and repair hardware and even
    software issues, because they do not have the mindset of a tech. Not just
    desktop computers either, I’m talking about KVM’s, servers, laptops, ect.
    Anything on large enterprise environments. After working for over 20+ years
    in I.T., no matter what fields I work in, having that great hardware /
    software experience gained from both real world, and CompTIA A+, I continue
    to use. Your video sets up new I.T. folks to fail, right off the bat
    saying to go with a M.S. cert. Also, your comments about Linux is 100%
    wrong. The majority of LAN environments use virtual servers now, whats is
    the base OS of say VMWare? How about Cisco routers and switches which 99%
    of the LAN’s / WAN’s run on? Based off of Linux… not to mention security
    appliances. Lastly, certs like M.S., should not “expire” and then disappear
    / retire and you know there is “a lot” of M.S. certs that people studied
    hard for (and paid good money for), only to not have them “valid” anymore.
    After you get a cert, you should be certified, that’s it! It is up to the
    individual to learn and study on their own time to pick up new
    technologies, not “pay” an OEM again just to learn something new, that the
    individual themselves can learn on there own time, with “zero” money spent.

  4. Seriously just lost any respect I had for you as an IT Professional. I
    spent a number of years as a microsoft support tech and have now moved into
    the Linux/Unix realm. To hear a so called IT professional say that Linux
    does not need maintenance shows a major ignorance. Do not try and talk
    with authority on a subject that you clearly do not have a clue about. It
    takes much more knowledge to run and maintain a Linux server environment
    than a Windows environment, and as someone who has worked in both fields, I
    CAN talk with authority on this.

  5. I wanna get into computer repair and own my own repair shop. What
    certifications would you recommend, besides a computer repair one?

  6. Hi Eli, since I have school, I am not able to catch this show live. I would
    like to ask you something and I hope you read these comments. I am a senior
    in high school and I am taking free community college classes on CCNA/Net+
    (using network academy) prep and A+ class for the cert. From here on out, I
    plan on going to a 4 year college for IT and Comp Sci degree if I get good
    scholarships. If not, I am just going to a community college, get my
    associates, get some introductory certs while searching for jobs. Then see
    if I should go for the 4 year degree or not. What do you think of this
    plan? Is there anywhere you think I could “think” better or anywhere my
    plans have flaws? Thank you very much Eli!

  7. Friend could I even invest in a comptia certification?

  8. Why should CCNA’s be scared? They deal a lot with many routers and
    switches, then there are also CCNA specializations such as security, voice,
    video, wireless, etc.

  9. Listen to him guys…..I wasted 6 years of my IT career with this Wishing I
    started Server track. I would be so far ahead in my goals now ..Start with
    MCSA server 2012 get a good job finish with you MCSE cloud or whatever you
    need..Paralleling it with VMware.

  10. 31 Papa?

  11. active directory,dns,wins,iis,dhcp,.asp are server side

  12. I guess linux fan boys need to understand 1 thing, big coorperations,
    global ones they run Windows, smaller organizations more focus on Linux
    (because of the cheap labor force of IT guys) the best way is to use both
    wherever they are most powerfull

  13. Very insightful

  14. You dont need to buy 4 or 5 computers to train for your certs. Use virtual
    box! Its free….

  15. One word of advice take a small class at college that has dream spark, and
    you will get all kinds of free software. The new Dreamspark offers 8.1
    Embedded , Server 2012 data center and Enterprise editions.

  16. Thanks Eli,
    Great advice and insight! Looks like the Linux boys are a little upset with
    you, but in looking at their comments, it seems that they didn’t really
    “hear” what you said.

  17. I got burned by the MCPS switch over. Seems they change their
    certifications monthly .

  18. I remember CCIE in 97, would get you 200 and hour contract work.

  19. i am MCSA in Windows Server 2012, im going to take the MCSE in Private
    Cloud

  20. under the MS server cert path they list MTA first. Is this necessary bf
    attacking the MCSA Server 2012?

  21. Which one is generally harder, Cisco’s or Microsoft? I am about to become a
    CCNP but have no Microsoft certs.

  22. Eli.big fan of your videos. you tell it like it is no beating behind the
    bush.
    thanks for the advice on the College 4 year degree vs Microsoft do it
    yourself.
    I was killing my self on college algebra and going thru courses that had
    nothing to do with Microsoft or Networking.
    I am finally on my way with Microsoft and Cisco self teaching. those are
    the meats and potatoes.
    thanks again.

  23. Q.
    I’m on the verge of completing my Cisco CCNA and I’m just looking for some
    advice, is it worth studying further for a CCNP (for example), or to simply
    start applying for jobs out in the field, gaining further experience that
    way?
    Any recommendations ? 

  24. it’s fun watching you talking…Like your energetic way of explaining
    although I don’t agree with some of the points you made (about Linux
    stuff).

  25. So glad that one dude asked the question whether to get a MS Cert if
    pursuing programming because I watched all the way to 1:21:32 thinking this
    whole video is immensely interesting but he’s mostly focusing on servers
    and would any cert apply to me as an aspiring programmer? Answer is no :P
