Microsoft微软专业认证之MCSA（Microsoft Certfied Syatem Administrator）
Microsoft 的操作系統占有率达 80% 以上，不少人为了证明自已有关计算机管理和网络设计上的实力，都紛紛考取 MCSE 证书。但是考取 MCSE 所需时间颇长，而且需要通过 7 科考试，对某些人会感觉吃力，所以当他們考取 MCSE 之前，通常会以最近十分流行的 MCSA 证书作为争取目标。
MCSA 的主要目的是让从事 IT 的人士或初入行者都能对最新的操作系統 Windows XP 和 Windows Server 2003 有较深入的认识，包括系統的安装方法、功能设定、网络管理、疑难排解、以及技术支持等 。此证书的要求比 MCSE 较低，只需通过四个考试便可。
