Server+ then 290...or just dive right in?

hello -

Was going back to my roots (CompTIA) and have been thinking about getting CompTIA's Server+

Just wondering if anyone had some input...should I spent the 1-2 months getting Server+ or just dive right in and start 70-290?

Looking at the two side by side and Server+ seems to be more a hardware (very little OS) test and 70-290 more a Win2k3 (very little hardware) test.

Thanks!

Since you indicate on your signature that your goal is to get MCSE, go for 290. You can't use A+/(Server+,net+) for MCSE elective (though you can for MSCA).
