Okay, thanks. How can you tell if an exam is a client exam or not?

If I'm already an MCITP: Enterprise Support, because I took the 70-621
exam, do I still have to take 70-620 to fulfill the client operating
system requirement for an MCSA or can I substitue 621 for 620? The
reason I ask is because passing either 620 or 621 both qualify you for
the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Windows Vista,
Configuration Certification. So it seems reasonable that since either
test gives the same certification than either test could be used to
fulfill the client operating system requirement for an MCSA.

Exam 70-621 is a specific exam to upgrade current MCDST status to
MCITP. Repeat "current status as MCDST is required".

It does not sustitute for initial certification requirements.

If I take the upgrade exam 70-621, then it is supposed to complete
the requirement for the following certification - Microsoft
Certified Technology
Specialist: Windows Vista, Configuration (which is what exam 70-620
is). So
can 70-621 be used in place of 70-620 for the client operating
system requirement for an MCSA?

Once again. 621 is NOT a client exam. It's an upgrade exam -- it
upgrades your MCDST to and MCITP. 620 is a client exam for VISTA, and
as such qualifies as a client option for any cert that requires one. 621 is not listed as a client exam for the MCSA.

As an alternative, you can use the MCDST cert as an elective for the
MCSA. A complete list of certs you can sub is at the bottom of the
page.

Well, the link Catwalker posted for MCSA shows "Core exams: client operating system (one exam required)" and has a list of Exams that qualify.
