MCITP: Database Administrator

Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Database Administrator (MCITP: Database Administrator) is the premier certification for database server administrators. This certification demonstrates that you can keep up with your enterprise business solutions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Database administrators install or configure Microsoft SQL Server and manage or maintain databases or multidimensional databases, user accounts, database availability, recovery, and reporting. They also design or implement security or server automation and monitor and troubleshoot SQL Server activity. Database administrators are typically employed by mid-size to large organizations.

Candidates earn their MCITP: Database Administrator by passing two required exams.

Exam 70–443: PRO: Designing a Database Server Infrastructure by Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Exam 70–444: PRO: Optimizing and Maintaining a Database Administration Solution by Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005

If you are a Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA), you may upgrade to the MCITP: Database Administrator certification by taking one upgrade exam instead of the two required exams. MCDBAs must still obtain the MCTS: SQL Server 2005 certification as a prerequisite.

Candidates must first complete the requirements for the MCTS: SQL Server 2005 certification (one exam)
