MCSDT before MCSA?

johnw02

Can anyone suggest whether I should pursue the MCSDT before I pursue the MCSA? I know the 70-271 and 70-272 exams can be used as electives for the MCSA, however I've already got my Security+ which I can use. Would it be wise to start with the MCSDT and then concentrate on the MCSA track or bypass it all together? Any suggestions are appreciated!

I would say it depends on what you're looking to do. MCDST is more of an advanced M$ helpdesk cert; whereas MCSA is geared more towards adminstration. If you have limited experience, you may find it easier to get an entry level support position using an MCDST, than an full blown admin job with MCSA.....
