In MCITP certification there are two kind of certification that you can do. One is
Server administration which has three exams (83-640, 70-642 and 70-646)
and other one is
Enterprise Administration which has five exams 83-640, 70-642, 70-643 has to be done without any choice and 70-620 or 70-624 or 70-680 can be done as your choice. You have to do only one exam above three exams. Remember 70-624 will last until October 2010.
They will replace a new exam for that. Still I don’t get any detail about that. When I have it I’ll let u know. Finally you have to do 70-647 exams to become an enterprise admin.
Still I’m doing Server administration. I have only 70-646 exam to complete the certification. I will put all guides that I followed to do the exam.

Exam 70-646 Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator
The Last exam of server administration is 70-646. We can do this exam very accurately because lot stuff is covered in previous two exams. This has some addition lessons also. Like configuring VPN stuff. This is a very happy exam because if we had a doubtful part of previous exams we can clarify those within this exam. But we must learn coz it refresh our knowledge. I am going to do this exam as soon as I can.
I was used sybex ebook for study. That book was very help full than Microsoft press book. It explains every thing well. I try to upload all sybex books. Still I didn’t get any of those for previous exams.
This is Sybex book for 70-646
