You could take the test without the experience, but you wouldn't qualify for the certification even if you passed, though you could still be an associate in that case, as someone previously pointed out. But then, if you wanted security certification now, there are other certs that don't have the experience requirement, and there's certainly a place for those.
The CISSP is OS independent whereas the M$ muck is only M$specific whichwill hinder your career in Information Security.
I can't say I agree. Microsoft certs and security certs are a good combination for many types of work. There's more to security than Unix and its derivatives, you know, and Microsoft are not a security-free zone. :) -- Yup, but you have to admit that the M$ Certs are certainly M$ specific especially when it comes down to securing services properly. This is just my point to note as throughout my career it became very quickly apparent as to how blind M$ to standards and the best way to do things. The M$ Certs narrow you down to M$ specifics and that's the point I'm trying to make Regards winsoc -- David Harley CISSP, Small Blue-Green World Security Author/Editor/Consultant/Researcher AVIEN Guide to Malware: http://www.smallblue-greenworld.co.uk/pages/avienguide.html Security Bibliography: http://www.smallblue-greenworld.co.uk/pages/bibliography.html
