From the CompTIA Website:
How do I submit my credentials towards MCSA to Microsoft?
Microsoft accepts the combination of CompTIA A+ with either CompTIA
Network+
or CompTIA Server+ as an elective for the Microsoft Certified System
Administrator (MCSA) certification program. In addition, Microsoft
accepts
CompTIA Security+ as an elective for both the MCSA and the Microsoft
Certified System Engineer (MCSE) certifications, and as a
specialization
option for the MCSA: Security and MCSE: Security certifications.
1. Take at least one Microsoft MCSA on Microsoft Windows Server 2003
exam or
Windows 2000 exam to obtain your MCP identification number (MCP ID).
You must
have your MCP ID number to apply your CompTIA credentials towards MCSA
certification. Your MCP ID number is provided to you by e-mail after
you take
a Microsoft exam, regardless of whether you passed or failed the exam.
You
can also contact a Microsoft Regional Education Service Center for
assistance.
2. In order to submit your CompTIA certifications to Microsoft you
will need
to do the following: Log into your CompTIA record at
www.comptia.org/careerid. If you are a first time user, you will need
to
create a user name and password before you can access the database and
you
will need to have your score report available. If you do not have a
copy of
your score report, please contact the test delivery provider that you
used to
take your exam. They will either mail you a copy of your score report
or
e-mail the information to you. The test vendors’ telephone numbers are
the
following: VUE: 1-877-551-7587 and Prometric: 1-800-776-4276.
3. Once you have logged into your record you will need to click on
“publish
credentials” and send your A+ and Network+ or Server+ for MCSA or
Security+
for MCSE to:
. You will need to provide your MCP
ID# in
the text field of the validation form. You MUST use this “publish
credentials” feature to validate your certifications to Microsoft. DO
NOT
send them an e-mail directly. Only by using this validation process
will they
accept your certification information. If you have any questions
please
contact Microsoft at 1-800-636-7544.
