I recently finished my 5th test for MCSE 2000 and was
surprised to learn that I had earned an MCSE 2000
Certification without having to take the electives
because the NT 4.0 electives are apparently still valid
(although retired). The two electives are MS Proxy 2.0
and IEAK 5.0. Does anybody know how long these are
valid? I just assumed that these had lost validity for
MCSE 2000 Certification long ago. Early Christmas
present, I suppose...

I was happily strolling along my merry little way in
microsoft.public.cert.exam.mcse, when I looked down and saw a little note
