Yes, but ...

All the alternatives are (to be) computer given, probably multiple choice
type exams, like the CNE or MCSE exams, 

so ...

I think it would be hard to do.

Nice thought though ... Give candidate a bare machine and a CD and ask them
to install to a certain spec. Then pull the drive, and plug it into another
machine that goes through looking for certain things and adds marks for
getting it right and deducts marks for not quite etc. Probably a PhD or two
there :-)
