Core Exam

Hi,

just like to clarify, can my MCDST credential be used as a substitute for
the one required core client operating system exam (70-270: Installing,
Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional), or does
this only apply to elective exams?

Regards,

Ciaran Fogarty.

If you have an MCDST, that would include exams which ARE listed as potential
core client exams, correct?

Hi Wayne,

thanks for your reply. Unfortunately no.

MCDST comprises 2 exams

Exam 70-271: Supporting Users and Troubleshooting a Microsoft Windows XP
Operating System and

Exam 70-272: Supporting Users and Troubleshooting Desktop Applications on a
Microsoft Windows XP Operating System

none of which are listed as a core client for MCSE.

The MCSE credential includes

Exam 70-270: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP
Professional.

I think I'll just follow the track and sit this exam. It may include areas I
haven't covered in MCDST.

Regards.

MCDST satisfies the elective requirement for MCSA, but it does not satisfy
anything for MCSE.

271 which you have passed if you have MCDST is similar to 270, however 271
looks at XP from a user/tech support standpoint, 270 looks at XP from an
administrator viewpoint. Some material is very similar, some is very
different.

Hope that helps.
