Hi

As I understand it, the MCP qualifications last for three years. Will my MCSA last for three years from the date of passing my last exam or the date of passing my first exam?

And as I have just read that the 70-210 exam will be discontinued in March, will I have to do the 70-291 before then for it to count towards MCSA?

Thanks

Charlie.

I believe the MS certs are lifetime (I hear this is not true for the new ones), but they obviously become obsolete at some point.

The exams that are expiring are here: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcpexams/status/examstoretire.mspx

Basically, it's the 2000 exams and the upgrades from 2000 to 2003.

The 2003 exams, such as 291, are not retiring any time in the near future.
