what is an MCITP Sharepoint Administrator?
The Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) certification for SharePoint Administrator was a certification that validated an IT professional’s skills and knowledge in planning, deploying, configuring, and managing Microsoft SharePoint-based solutions in an enterprise environment.
SharePoint is a web-based collaboration and document management platform that allows users to share and collaborate on content, such as documents, lists, and libraries, within an organization. MCITP SharePoint Administrator certified professionals were responsible for managing the SharePoint infrastructure, including:
- Planning and designing SharePoint infrastructure: They designed and planned SharePoint infrastructure, including servers, networks, and clients.
- Deploying and configuring SharePoint: They deployed and configured SharePoint, including installing and configuring SharePoint services and components.
- Managing and maintaining SharePoint: They managed and maintained SharePoint, including monitoring server performance, troubleshooting issues, and performing routine maintenance tasks.
- Managing SharePoint content: They managed SharePoint content, including creating and managing sites, lists, libraries, and content types.
- Managing SharePoint security: They managed SharePoint security, including configuring permissions, managing authentication and authorization, and enforcing security policies.
- Integrating SharePoint with other systems: They integrated SharePoint with other systems, such as Exchange Server and Office applications, to provide a unified collaboration experience.
However, it’s worth noting that the MCITP certification has been retired and is no longer available to earn. SharePoint has also undergone significant changes and updates since the certification was available, with the latest version being SharePoint Server 2019.
