The 270 exam is only one test. The MCSDT is focus towards helpdesk, while the MCSA is geared towards Sys Admins. Which type of job are you currenlty working in or are you interested in?

The 2000 exams are going to retire in March 2008 along with the 2000 to 2003 upgrade exams. The rest of the 2003 exams will be around for a couple of more years.
