Help desk diagnostics? Do you mean trouble-shoot the hardware? Basic desktop
support? Both? "Help desk," to me, implies remote support, so hardware repair
is implicitly difficult :). That might just be a limitation of my exposure.

Are these both m$ certs?

Network administration is routers, switches, and other networking equipment,
not desktop or server operating systems. Granted, GNU/Linux makes a viable
router :), but network administration would be the admin of the routing
portion of the system, not the the SMTP daemon.

So, what do you mean by network administration? Is that some specific aspect
of system administration?
