in MCSA 2016 / MCSE 2016
This mainly effects Azure exams and MCSE Cloud and Infrastructure certification.

Certifications:
MCSE: Cloud Platform and Infrastructure, MCSA: Windows Server 2016, ITIL Foundation, MCSA: Windows 10, MCP, Azure Fundamentals, Security+.

    Same here. Passed 533/535 back in June and 744 on Monday. The good news is if I do Azure stack in January I should get an MCSE Core Infrastructure 2019 out of the deal.....

    So all in all, is it worth studying/passing the 70-740 exams? After all, they will be retired soon.
    Certifications: CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network +, MTA: Server Admin, MS Azure Fundamentals & CCST - Networking.

    I don't see anything about server exams being retired, only Azure, MCSE Cloud and Infrastructure.

    The 2012 stuff is still available in their latest roadmap.

    It's also a requirement to have the 2012 and 2016 exams to get an MCSE:CI now. They're not retiring those. It seems only some Azure stuff is going away.
    2019 Goals: Security+
    2020 Goals: 70-744, Azure
    Completed: MCSA 2012 (01/2016), MCSE: Cloud Platform and Infrastructure (07/2017), MCSA 2017 (09/2017)
    Future Goals: CISSP, CCENT

    Whoa, hold the brakes. Who said these exams are being retired? I don't see anything about the MCSA: Windows Server 2016 ending anytime soon.

    I think they are mistaking the 70-740 exam with Azure. These(70-740/741/742) are definitely NOT being retired. Basically if anyone is looking at taking for example 70-533, you probably want to review the red portions here which points the the new Azure test https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/exam-70-533.aspx

    IMPORTANT: Microsoft is making significant changes to this certification. To learn more, see the blog post on role-based certification on Microsoft Learning Community. As a result, exam 533 will be replaced with two new exams that cover the Azure Administrator job role more extensively than this exam does. To support these changes, we are retiring exam 533 on December 31, 2018.
    To learn more about these new exams and what they assess, visit: If you have taken this exam and want to transition to the new Azure Administrator certification, you should take Exam AZ-102: Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Transition.
