CompTIA Server+

Fix any Windows Error and optimize your System!

The CompTIA Server+ certification tests you on your knowledge with server hardware and software. It validates knowledge of server issues and technology.

CompTIA recommends you have 18 to 24 months of experience in server technology along with a CompTIA A+ certification. It is not required though.

With this certification you can perform job roles as a network administrator, network engineer, systems administrator and web site administrator. This certification is an international vendor neutral credential. This means it is well recognized all over the world in the IT field.

Here are the certification exam details:

The CompTIA Server+ certification is a good entry-level certification for server technology. The Microsoft server related certifications usually require more than one exam to get certified. The Server+ requires only one exam and can help you land a job as an administrator meanwhile you work on the more advance Microsoft Server certifications.

Here are some concepts that are covered in the Server+ certification:

Server hardware
Server software
Describe common elements of networking essentials like subnetting, DNS, DHCP and ports
Storage technologies and benefits
Determine an appropriate physical environment for the server location
Classify physical security measures for a server location
Disaster recovery
Troubleshooting of server software and hardware

Where to start?

1.) Buy a good Server+ book and e-courses

- These books usually bring practice questions

2.) Learn the material by using CBT Nuggets or Testout. My favorite one is Transcender. They offer great e-learning courses and Virtual Labs.

Also make sure you get a hold of practice exams. Try Transcender, they guarantee you will pass your exams on the first try.

3.) Buy a certification exam voucher.
