I really should have anticipated something like this.

I have recently been welcomed back in to the fold of CertForums (thanks to everyone that has posted in my "Welcome" thread!) and have almost immediately hit a potential wall.

The only MCP I have earned as of right now is 70-210 Windows 2000 Professional. I have earned CompTIA A+ as well, which I have heard rumours to be considered credit toward MCSE certification.

So as I understand the situation, I have until March 2008 to take three exams to hit MCSA status, and then upgrade to 2003. Is that right?

I have already spent a small fortune on this course, so it's time for a decision. Do I continue with certification or do I cut my losses and run with my Windows 2000 Professional MCP?

Also, how much longer is my 70-210 MCP going to be worth anything?

And please, be candid!

Thanks in advance.

 

It's a time factor more than anything else - well, perhaps except for the cash!

I would love to be able to devote myself to it but since starting the course I've become a father twice over and time is at a premium!

Thanks for you comment, though - I do want it.

 

It's up to you whether you think you can do the exams before they're retired. If you can, I'd recommend it. The MCSA on Win2K will look good next to your MCSA on Win2K3. ;)

How much longer will your 70-210 MCP be worth something? Until the last company in the world gets rid of Windows 2000 Professional. The company I just left STILL has some Win2K workstations in use... and one company I supported in 2006 still had two Windows NT 4 servers for their domain controllers!!! So I'm quite sure that your Win2K knowledge and certification will be useful for years to come.
