1st. Raw intelligence. No one knows everything. The ability to figure it out quickly is essential.
2nd. Experience. No substitute...
3rd. Certification. Those tests are damn hard. Someone who's made the effort to get an MCSE did it for a reason... those who didn't.. didn't for a reason.
4th. Calm in a crisis.
