Updating MCSE NT to MCSE 2003

I need to know the best upgrade path to get to MCSE 2003.
I currently have a MCSE NT4 cert. My 2 electives are
Exchange 5.5 and TCP/IP. A little old... haha

I have taken the Win2K Pro and Server exams (70-210 and 70-
215)

What is quickest path to upgrading to a MCSE 2003 cert?
What exams do I need to take?

I already have material for the Win2K Network
Infrastructure Exam? Can this count towards my 2003 cert.

Electives do not appear to be necessary any longer. Is
this right?

Last but not least... what is the quickest way to obtain
my MCP ans MCSE IDs? It's been so long sice I've needed
them I don't know what they are.

Thanks for your help.

Great! It really depends on what you are working with now and what you want
to do. For you, an easy path is to obtain the MCSA for Windows 2000
certification. At that point you are qualified to take the 70-292 exam have
have MCSA for Windows Server 2003. For the MCSE you can take it on either
platform and it becomes a matter of what platforms you are using and what
you are most comfortable with. Good luck!

Where do I go to update the info on my Microsoft
Certification Profile?

It's been so long since I used my Microsoft ID's, I'm not
sure what they are. How do I find out what my MCP ID # or
MCSE ID # are?

I sent an email to Is there a
quicker way to get my ID #s?

That would be the quickest way to get it. They should respond to you within
