if i had gained a mcsa and then wanted to go further to an mcse
would the mcsa qualification count toward the mcse or is it totally unconnected.

I swear I could not find this info before on the ms website,I think my eyes may be going

 

It's a gradual process. You get MCP--MCSA-(+something*optional*)-MCSE.

 

I don't think (but I could be wrong) that you can use the A+ and the N+ as a replacement for a Microsoft exam in the MCSE path.

Maybe someone could clarify that

 

oh, i thought A+,N+ count towards MCSA, then MCSA counts towards MCSE.....

 

no you cant.. only security+ can be used.,, a+/n+ is only for mcsa...


EDIT:

CompTIA A+ and N+
A+ and Server+
Security+
MCDST

 

oh, thanks for pointing it out Zim

 

what would someone think of doing the MCDST as an elective to MCSA? worth doing it as 2-in-1?

 

Zim,

When it comes to jobs MCSA/E does crop up quite a bit, so does MCP sometimes. Can't say ive seen MCDST, but maybe i haven't looked hard enough

 

Thanks for clarifying that Zimbo!
