I've heard that the mcdst exams are also mcsa electives.
I can't find that info on the ms site. can anyone verify?

Not the exams--the MCDST _certification_ can be used as the elective for
MCSA for 2000 or 2003.

My transcript says I am MCDST, but dont say MCSA.

I have 210,215,218, and now 271,272.

should the mcdst count as mcsa elecitive and make me MCSA?
whats the deal? why dont it show up as mcsa also?

If you just got your score from Vue, you will have to wait a few hours to
about a day. I tested with Prometric and I got my pass, then about half a
day later MCDST showed up on my transcript and then finally about a day
after that MCSA. I have passed the same tests, so I can verify that passing
the ones you have makes you an MCSA.

Same here. I've been going down the MCSE track and passed
everything but 219, 220 and 216.
After passing 271 and 272 I got a congrats email saying i
am a MCDST. Then the next day I got an email saying I am
MCSA.

What's weird is I thought 216 was a core test for MCSA so
i dunno how that works.

neato!

The core tests for MCSA are 210 (or 270), 215, and 218.
