LPI Releases LPIC-3 Mixed Environments Version 3.0

Linux Professional Institute (LPI) released version 3.0 of the LPIC-3 Mixed Environments certification program. The release is a major update that brings fundamental changes to the exam objectives and adjusts the covered topics to recent changes in technology. The LPIC-3 certification series is the highest level offered currently by LPI and covers advanced open source topics in organizational computing infrastructure.

The new certification objectives focus on Samba 4 in conjunction with Active Directory Domains. A dedicated topic has been added which covers the management of Linux domains using FreeIPA as well as the integration of FreeIPA with Active Directory. Additionally, the exam no longer covers NT4 domains, NetBIOS services and OpenLDAP.The update is part of LPI’s regular exam reviews.

“Version 3.0 is a complete redevelopment of the LPIC-3 Mixed Environments exam. We removed legacy tools and commands and added a set of powerful technologies that have become established in the corporate IT infrastructure of almost all enterprises” says Fabian Thorns, LPI’s Director of Product Development.

“The update of the LPIC-3 Mixed Environments certification ensures that our exams test the skills demanded by industry today. Identity management and file services are business critical services and we are proud to certify experts who have the ability to implement such services using open source software in an enterprise environment.” says G. Matthew Rice, Executive Director of LPI.

Thorns concludes his statement by addressing the LPI community. “I would like to thank LPI’s exam development community and all subject matter experts involved in the update of the LPIC-3 series. Thank you all for being part of the LPI team, this update won’t be possible without you.”
