Re: Upgrade to MCSE2003



Hi

Just confirm from Microsoft. If you are a MCSE 2000 and MCSA 2003, you just
need to take 70-293 and 70-294.

Thanks

If you have an MCSA on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server credential, note the
following about your exam requirements:

• Networking: You have the option of taking Exam 70-292 instead of Exams
70-290 and 70-291. However, you must also take Exams 70-293 and 70-294.

• Client: Since you have already passed Exam 70-210 or 70-270, the client
requirement for an MCSE on Windows Server 2003 certification has been
met—you
do not have to take a client exam.

• Design: When you earned your MCSA certification, a design exam was not
required. To attain the MCSE on Windows Server 2003 certification, you
must
pass a design exam listed in the certification requirements described
earlier.

• Elective: Your MCSA credential itself satisfies the elective requirement
for an MCSE on Windows Server 2003 certification because it proves your
ability to administer another version of the platform. Thus, you do not
have
to take an elective exam.

So you need to do 70-293, 70-294 and EITHER 70-297 OR 70-298.

3 Exams in total.

Just a minor point, and it may be worth contacting your RSC to ask them.

Prior to the 2000 exams being retired, 70-219, 220, 221 and 226 were all
accepted as valid design electives for MCSE 2003. As of the time of this
post, they are still footnoted (see #1) here ...
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcse/windows2003/mcsa.mspx
This is the page that Andy quoted.

However, they have been removed from the footnotes here...
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcse/windows2003/default.mspx

They are however, still listed on the certification planner.

I believe that they are still valid being as they are still on the
certification planner. However, like I said, it might be worth a phone
call, or go ahead and take 70-293 and 70-294 (since you will need those
anyway, there is no doubt there) and then check your transcript to see if
MCSE shows up.
