LPI releases LPIC-3 Mixed Environments Version 3.0

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

The new learning objectives focus on Samba 4 in connection with Active Directory domains. Added a dedicated topic covering Linux domain management with FreeIPA and FreeIPA integration with Active Directory. In addition, NT4 domains, NetBIOS services, and OpenLDAP are no longer audited, which is part of the LPI's regular audit reviews.

"Version 3.0 is a complete redesign of the LPIC-3 Mixed Environments exam. We have removed outdated tools and commands and added a number of powerful technologies that are firmly established in the IT infrastructure of almost every company," says Fabian Thorns, Director of Product Development at LPI.

Identity management and file services are business critical and we are proud to certify professionals who are capable of doing so services using open source software in an enterprise environment," said G. Matthew Rice, executive director of LPI.
