    Hello,

    I am looking to start training for my MCSE in Windows Server 2012 and wanted to know the best path to take.

    I currently have my MCTS 70-680 in Windows 7. After doing a bit of research, I found that if I take my 70-686, I will get my MCSA (MCITP?) in Windows 7, and upgrade to MCSA Server via 70-417.

    I would then need to take my 413 and 414 to get my MCSE in Server 2012.

    Can anyone else confirm this please? Is it worth completing my MCSA/MCITP in Windows 7? Is it even recognised anymore? Can I upgrade by following this path?

    I am currently studying my Security+ and will start on Microsoft in the new year.

    What are your thoughts on this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi mate, I've found this for you:
    *Note: the MCSA for Windows 7 officially retired on September 30, 2015. If you already have obtained this certification, it will be noted as a Legacy on your transcript.
    So on that basis not only is it not worth it, but you couldn't do it even if you wanted to sorry.
    I studied for the Security+ and loved it. It counted towards my MCSE:Security 2003 at the time, I'm not sure if Microsoft still count it toward their certifications but it's definitely worth looking into
    Cheers
    Jim
