Upgrade path: MCSA2000:Sec -> MCSA2003 -> MCSE2003:Sec ?

Hi everyone,

I'm getting a bit confused about upgrading options.

Say, I have MCSA2000:Security (210-215-218-214-Security+)
Ultimate goal is to get MCSE2003:Security

Now, from what I understood, I cannot get MCSE2000:Security upgraded to
MCSE2003:Secuirty.
So the path of MCSA2000:Sec -> MCSE2000:Sec -> MCSE2003:Sec
doesn't work, right?

But then I can upgrade MCSA2000:Security to MCSA2003lain (btw, there is no
MCSA2003:Security, is there?)
Can I then go for MCSE2003:Security with my _upgraded_ MCSA2003? Plus use
Security+ at the very end to get :Security spec?

If anyone could clarify that, it would be greatly appreciated

If it isn't clear on the MS web site, you might be better off to contact
Michael C Phelp at microsoft about it:

from the bottom of
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcsa/security/windowsserver2003.asp

and

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcse/security/windowsserver2003.asp

"2 Candidates who hold MCSA or MCSE on Windows 2000 credentials may take
Exam 70-292 in place of Exams 70-290 and 70-291. In addition, candidates
who hold an MCSE on Windows 2000 credential may take Exam 70-296 in place
of Exams 70-293 and 70-294. "

so for the MCSA 2003:Sec you would then need 70-299 and if you haven't
taken it the ISA or Sec+ exam after taking the 70-292 exam. You could
then theoretically finish the MCSE 2000 and write both the 70-296 exam
and the 70-298 exam giving you MCSE on 2000 and 2003, MCSA on 2000 (which
you have) and 2003, MCSA:Sec on 2000 (which you have) and 2003 and
MCSE:Sec on 2003 (only).

spend a bit of time in www.microsoft.com/learning and most of this pops
up. you could also have a look at the certification planner in the MCP
private web site.

(and yes there is an MCSA:Sec 2003)

It's really been bugging you that you've been below Ben and The Rev on the
League tables, hasn't it.
