    Hi All,

    I have my MCSA 2000 certification and was wondering if i was right in thinking I only need to do the 70-292 and 70-296 to get the MCSE 2003? is this correct?

    Thanks!

    As Sparky said, you can do the 70-292 for the MCSA upgrade... but the 70-296 is only for MCSEs on 2000.

    To be more specific, to go from MCSA 2000 to MCSE 2003:

    • Exam 70-292: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment for an MCSA Certified on Windows 2000 <- This will get you your MCSA in 2003, so you better hurry as The_Geek said or else the upgrade path will no longer be an option.
    • Exam 70-293: Planning and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure
    • Exam 70-294: Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure

    ...and EITHER
    • Exam 70-297: Designing a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure
    ...OR
    • Exam 70-298: Designing Security for a Windows Server 2003 Network

    You don't need an elective--the MCSA in 2000 counts as an elective for some reason (I'm not complain'--I went down the above track myself (I took 70-297 as my Design requirement) and just recently got my MCSE in 2003).
