Does having the MCDST, make you an MCP?

I am very confused, so people told me no but most of them said yes.

The one's who said yes, hinted that passing any ms exam automatically makes you a mcp? how true is this?

one MS exam makes you a microsoft certified professional, so passing one of the MCDST exams gets you MCP status. Passing the two MCDST exams makes you an MCDST

 

Warning: not all Microsoft exams will give you the MCP designation. For example, MCTS and MCITP exams do NOT make you an MCP.

Passing one of the MCDST exams will grant you the MCP designation. So, the answer to the original poster's question is: "Yes, having the MCDST makes you an MCP."

 

Thats useful to know, I thought they all did.

 

MCP is for the old tracks. MCTS seems to be the new equivalent...
