If you're upgrading from MCSA 2003 to MCITP:SA or EA, you will need to sit the 70-648 exam, that exam is made up of 70-640 and 70-642.

If you're upgrading from MCSE 2003 to MCITP:SA or EA, you will need to sit the 70-649 exam which is made up of 70-640, 70-642, and 70-643.

In terms of study materials, you can use the 70-640, 70-642, and 70-643 books to study for 70-648 and 70-649.

I want to be clear on this before I move forward in upgrading my MCSA:Security to a MCITP:SA. Do I need to take 70-646 AND 70-648? Or can I just take the 70-646 (70-640, 70-642)?
What reading sources do you recommend in perparing for the exams? I looked at the SYBEX books while they are great books they appear to be a few years out of date.

Thanks

 

Hi, as Theprof has explained, above:

To upgrade your MCSA to MCITP:SA you will need to take both 648 & 646.

The 648 is an upgrade exam and will give you 2 MCTS Certs: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration &
Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration.

You will then need the PRO 646 exam to complete the MCITP requirements. As the MCITP is retiring, I believe that this is migrating to the new MCSA: Server 2008.

N.B. The 648 upgrade exam is scheduled for retirement on 31st July 2013.
