The Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) certification for Enterprise Administrator was a certification that validated an IT professional’s skills and knowledge in designing and implementing enterprise-level IT solutions based on Microsoft technologies.
MCITP Enterprise Administrators were responsible for managing and maintaining complex IT infrastructures, including:
- Designing and deploying infrastructure: They designed and deployed enterprise-level IT infrastructures, including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy.
