Probably been asked 1000 times but...

What would be the best course of action for an MCSE
in NT 4.0 to take? Upgrade to 2k, or 2k3, or even both?
I'm looking to have the next cert last long w/o worry of
upgrading for a while and also be deemed as an asset to
the majority of companies out there today.

I know there is things like degrees and whatnot but
I'm just talking microsoft certs here. It seems like if I
had upgraded to 2k that I would not have been able to
enjoy it as long as I did when I got 4.0. They keep
releasing operating systems too fast.

 

There will be no upgrade path from NT to 2003, you'll have to upgrade to
2000 then to 2003. But the 2003 exams aren't available yet. So go ahead and
do the NT to 2000 upgrade, it's just one test.

 

I didn't mean 1 exam to upgrade I just meant doing what is
required to get 2K3 from 4.0. All you get credit for is
your 4.0 MCSE and you don't have to do an elective.

Also the upgrade exam from 4.0 to 2K is not available
anymore is it? The accelerated I think they called it? I
was under the impression you had until December of the
year they announced it to take that exam for free if you
passed the 4 core for 4.0. Which I did and failed. Too
rushed I thought. But if they retracted and said you
could take it after I'll be pissed.

Anyway I am studying for the XP exam I have not taken any
yet.

 

Cool stuff. Thanks Andy

 

Okay this one is simple...

Forget about taking the MCSE 2000 track, go straight to
the 2003 track.....because you are NT 4.0, you will not
be able to JUST take the 2003 upgrade workshops, you have
to take the whole MCSE 2003 track....it is the latest and
the greatest, so jump on it
