Exam expiration

Hi, I passed a 070-215 Implementing W2K Professional couple of years ago.
Since then I was busy at work and in school and have not taken any other
exams Now I am thinking of doing MCSE 2003. Will the passed exam count
towards it? I am asking because a friend of mine told me that a passed exam
is expired after one year and cannot be counted towards certification. Also,
I overheard that my A+ and Server+ plus may count towards MCSE. Any info on
this?

Thanks!

Well, it depends on which exam you passed. Did you pass 70-215 (Win2K
Server) or did you pass Win2K Pro (70-210)?

And yes, your two CompTIA certs can be combined and used as one elective
towards your MCSA (but not MCSE).

Try taking a look at Microsoft's website for help.

70-210 W2K professional.
I know MCSE track lists this one client operating system requirement, but
does it need to be taken again if it's been 2 years since pass?

That's right with current msft rules . I believe in the past they retired
whole bunch of MCPs. Btw, MCP is a title, my question is on exam expiration
and whether it needs to be retaken if more than two years passed though the
exam itself is current and included in the MCSE2003 track. Thnaks.

Current, past, whatever.

You believe wrong. The exams are retired, the software platform being
tested becomes obsolete, an Apple II was a fun machine.

No sh1t.
