My suggestion would be to maybe start on the MCDST, depending on your experience level then follow the MCSA/MCSE track incrementally. EG: 70-270, 70-290...etc. As I said, there is loads of overlap and by starting with the other certs it makes it far easier to study for and pass the 70-290 by the time you get there. For your info, I passed the MCDST and 70-270 in less than two months, this is study time and taking the exams. Regards, Glenn Rosslee

For example, if I wanted to know to setup up user accounts I have to setup Active Directory which the 70-290 books doesn't cover! There seem to be an assumption with the 70-290 that everything is setup already (AD, Routing, Terminal Servers) which isn't the case.
