From MCSA 2K to MCSE 2K3

Hello,

I'm MSCA 2000 and I want to know what is the best path to become MCSE 20003?
I did the 70-210, 70-215, 70-216, 70-217, 70-218 exams.

Thanks

Marc-André

You can use your MCSA 2000 as an elective exam only.

Yeah, but it might be easier just to take the three exams to upgrade to MCSE
2000, then take the one upgrade exam to get to MCSE 2003

Two upgrade exams, one for the MCSA and one for the MCSE.

Although I do agree with your premise, finish the MSCE 2000 track, then
upgrade to 2003.

This is Microsoft's requirements taken from http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcse/windows2003/

MCSA 2000 to MCSE 2003 only reqires 4 exams and is therefore the quickest and easiest way to upgrade. (292, 293, 294, and a design)

Networking: An MCSA on Windows 2000 has the option to take Exam 70-292 instead of Exams 70-290 and 70-291. However, Exams 70-293 and 70-294 are still required.

Client: An MCSA on Windows 2000 has already passed Exam 70-210 or 70-270, which also satisfies the client requirement for MCSE on Windows Server 2003; therefore, no action is required.

Design: The MCSA certification does not require candidates to prove design skills. To attain the MCSE on Windows Server 2003 certification, you must pass a design exam listed in the certification requirements above.

Elective: Elective exams are required so that candidates prove technical breadth, interoperability skills, or additional technical depth. For an MCSA on Windows 2000, the MCSA credential itself satisfies the elective requirement for MCSE on Windows Server 2003 because it proves the ability to administer another version of the platform; therefore, no further action is required.

Aloow me to simplify:
Take these exams:
70-292, 293, 294, 297 and you will be MCSE 2003.

What about 70-296?

If you are only MCSA you can not take the upgrade exam (296). Therefore you must take 293 and 294 individually as I mentioned earlier.

Ahhh, I get what you're saying now. Upgrade your MCSA 2000 to 2003 FIRST,
then finish the MCSE 2003 track and avoid the MCSE upgrade exam. Got it.
