CompTIA towards the Microsofts certification?

Help me guys please..

Hello, Im going to get the A+ exam (2007) soon, and plan to take Network+ and Security+ in Q1 of next year. Next level after that is to be a MSCE or MCSA, so what MS certification do I have to get through then? Is it just one server MS-cert or what?

Do u have any suggestions? Help me out here...

Your A+ and Net+ can count as one elective toward your MCSA, you will then need 2 core exams (70-290 and 70-291) and one client exam (70-210, 70-270, or 70-620) for a total of 3 exams.

Your Sec+ can count as an elective toward an MCSE, but not the A+/Net+. You'll then need 6 more exams:

70-290
70-291
70-293
70-294
70-210 or 70-270 or 70-620
70-297 or 70-298

Thank you very much
Some people say it's easier to get through comTIA's exams than it is to pass Microsofts exams. Anyone here agree?
I passed the first Essentials 220-601 A+ (2007) exam recently with a rather good result (730 oo 900)

if I just want to be a MCP?
What is the credential and policy according my earlier questions?
anyone?

Passing any current MS exam will give you the MCP credential. You may also consider writing one of the new generation exams to earn MCTS designation.

Good luck.

Except for the MCDST exams, if I remember correctly those won't give you an MCP credential.

Nope, I believe they would, that's how I got my original MCP.
271
272

MCP requirements

Note Exam 70-058 and Exam 70-536 are exceptions to the one exam requirement. Passing either of these exams will not certify an individual as an MCP.

Looks like those are the only exceptions.

A guy I work with took the 271 test and earned the MCP credential.
