Hi,

I currently hold an MCP in Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment (70-290) and I'm looking to refresh this as either 2008 R2 or Server 2012.

How would I go about achieving this? Is there an MCP upgrade path for the 70-290? Perhaps this? Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator

Thanks!

You can't upgrade an MCP on it's own ... your best bet is looking at one of these exams

MCSA: Windows Server 2008 | Microsoft Learning

 

As Ade indicated. You need at least an MCSA to be able to upgrade.

 

The idea of an 'upgrade' exam is to be able to sit just the 1 exam that encompasses all of the relevant changes in the technology from the old to the new.

MCP's were always 1 exam anyway, so what would be the point in offering an 'upgrade' path?

Yes, I agree - look at one of the exams that make up either the MCSA for 2008 or 2012, depending on what tech. you are currently using.
