Which Microsoft certification should I start with in Networking field?

Question

I am pursuing my MCA Second Semester through Distance Learning. I am interested in Networking but a complete novice to the field and don't have any practical experience either. I want to pass certification exams from Microsoft but don't know where to start and which certification (MCSE etc.) would be suitable for me on long term basis.

Answer 1

Depending on your experience. I would actually start with Network + which is not a MS Cert but a CompTia Cert. It is recognized in the I.T. field as a legit cert.

http://www.comptia.org/

  It does give you all the basics of networking and a pretty quick cert that looks good on a resume

Answer 2

MCP Certification

70-290：Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment
