The modern world cannot exist without high technology. None of us can even imagine their world deprived of such facilities as a personal computer, GPS in a car, mp3, or mp4 player or – especially for the youth – PSP player. All of those devices need their own operating system, which are very complex. For creating such systems for computers, the Microsoft Company emerges the best people from all of the applicants by executing an exam for a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Certification.

Everyone, who takes this exam, should have one year or more experience in the IT field, and also some experience in operating in a network environment with any Windows. Applicants are to be able to implement Windows 7 at all of the fields, including installing, upgrading, and ensuring hard and software. They should also have the abilities to change some settings of the system, like security, connection with network and others. Elementary knowledge of Windows Power Shell syntax is inevitable. During the examination for the mcse certification is checked a list of skills, that the candidates should have. Each of them has similar importance and influence for the final result.

The most important tasks are: Installing, upgrading and migrating to Windows 7, Configuring hardware and applications, and Configuring network connectivity, each of them weight relatively 14%, which in all gives 42% of the final result. These areas check if the candidate can perform an accurate installation, if he can upgrade an older type of Windows to the newest Windows 7 including transferring the user profiles by various means.

They also test the candidates to configure drivers, to solve problems connected with conflicts between devices, to set compatibility mode and to do other tasks involving configuration of Internet Explorer and application restrictions. The last 14% group of issues has to do with configuring the network settings, such as IPv4 and IPv6, as well as mergering wired or wireless devices, connecting to the network wirelessly, configuring security network settings, or adapters.

The msce certification requires having abilities of deploying Windows 7 and configuring access to resources, which gives 26% of the whole amount of points for the certificate. Tasks concern preparing for and dislocating a system image with automated and manual methods, and settings of folders that may or may not have limited access when, for example, only the computer's administrator is allowed to see the contents of certain files. We could say it is a type of a secure system. The remainder amount of percentage amount of points is distributed for:

• configuring mobile computing, which is about the configuration of distant connections like VPN, NAP and dial-up or remote desktop, about creating and migrating power policy and the settings of direct access.
• monitoring and maintaining systems that run Windows 7, including updates of the system, fragmentation of the disks removing devices, monitoring event logs and subscriptions and many other.
• configuring backup and recovery options, with tasks from creating a system recovery disc to using shadow copies of deleted or damaged files.

The candidates for the mcse certification have to have abilities necessary to pass the examination, and also a gumption for IT issues, because the work certainly requires some amount of flexibility and an open mind. The combination of such skills is a grant of success. Undeniable fact is that such person would be a very valuable employee.
