MCSA question

Tryntotechit

I have a question about obtaining my MCSA. First of all, I am in college and have obtained my Network+ and A+ certs. I have also passed my 70-270, 290, and 291 exams. If I take the 70-293 exam, will that count as my elective for my MCSA(My professor said it would) I have also seen that I can use my A+ and Network+ certs towards my MCSA.

Does it look any better if I go either way? I do plan to get my MCSE fairly soon.

Congratulations, you're already an MCSA!

Core exams (three exams required)
70-290, 70-291, 70-270

Elective exams (one exam required)
Network+ AND A+

Call Microsoft and have them verify your CompTIA certs and you should be good to go.

Also, remember that while the Network+ and A+ count as an elective for your MCSA, they will not count towards your MCSE. It might be time to tack on that Security+

Thanks for the help. I am taking the Linux+ cert this spring and will be taking the Security+ this next fall. I am currently studying to sit for the 70-293. So I should be 2 exams away from the MCSE after I complete the above. Yay, I'm MCSA certified

I know this may be off subject or dumb question, but is it worth taking the windows 2000 cert??

It might be if you're in an environment that uses it a lot. If you're going to do it, you better hurry. They're discontinued at the end of March: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcpexams/status/examstoretire.mspx
