MCSE 2000 elective question.

Hi guys!

Got a dumb question here (i bet it has been asked numerous of times), just trying to plan ahead for my future certs. I would really like an MCSE title.

The CompTIA Security+ exam, does that count for two MCSE electives or just one?

From MS:

As an alternative to the electives listed above, these third-party certifications or certification combinations may substitute for an an MCSE elective: COMPTIA Security+

I've bold the words that are confusing to me. Not sure if it meant the Sec+ is an alternative to electives. Or alternative to an elective.

Another dumb question: I'm assuming that I will be MCSA within 2 weeks. Would the following exams make me MCSE: 216,217, 220, Security+?


Thanks in advance.

First, you were correct in that this topic was discussed in a previous thread. It only counts as one exam(227)

Second, you have 210, 215, 218. Again, correct with adding in 216, 217, 220, Sec+ to make MCSE. If you then add 214, you make MCSE+Security, a nice title to hold.
