OnlineJ,

The MCSA Server 2012 R2 cert has always been a track from Microsoft. However just recently they added some electives in lieu of the 70-412 exam. The MCSA track can be found here https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-server-certification.aspx disregard the title if you take the 70-410, 70-411 and 70-412 they are all R2 exams now. My recommendation is to use the ExamRef books from Microsoft and CBTs for the exams. I too am working on a 70-410 site on my NetworkedMinds YouTube Channel, but like Pluralsight I'm still not complete. It just takes time, lots of time.

I would be interested in finding out what materials others used on this thread to complete the 70-410 exam as far as books? I use the ExamRef book in the classes I teach due to the hour limitation of the courses (No, I don't teach boot camps). There are other books, much more in depth...
