Sure you can. It's even better if you haven't started yet becoming a MCP, so
you will have a fresh view of the new technology and a big plus on your
resume.

Hi all. I'm sort of new to this and am considering going for the MCSE.
The web site has a whole lot of usefull info but I just want to know;
bieng new to this, what exactly do I need to get started. I prefer to self
study and then sit for the exam. Also is it better to start with MCSE or
MSCA.

You will see that there are basically seven requirements (tests) to earn
MCSE. There are 4 core exams on Server 2003, a client exam, a design exam,
and an elective.

For MCSA there are four requirements, the first two core exams, the client
exam, and most of the electives are all the same, so on the way to MCSE, you
can/will earn MCSA. I think that most people work towards MCSA on their way
to MCSE although nothing says you have to do that.

MCSA and MCSE are two different (but closely related) jobs. MCSA or System
Administrator is just that, manage and maintain system administration. MCSE
or System Engineer is more for people who design and implement networks.

Note that MCSA/MCSE stops at Windows Server 2003. For Windows Server 2008,
there are different (but comparable) certifications called MCITP - System
Administrator and MCITP - Enterprise Administrator.

You can complete these tests in any order, and you can train for them (if
you like) any way that you like. The best training for any of these exams
is going to be experience. You can supplement that with books from MS
Press, or any other number of publishers. Some vendors (like TestOut) make
videos. There are even places you can get classroom training if you like.
It's up to you.

For more information on finding training resources, see
www.microsoft.com/learning. Contact prometric (www.prometric.com) for
information on scheduling a test in your area.
