MCSE + Security Which exams do I Need?

spamcram

I currently have the following exams:

70-210 - 2k Pro
70-215 - 2k Srv
70-216 - Network Infrastructure
70-217 - Directory Services Infrastructure
70-218 - Network Environment
70-220 - Designing Security
70-227 - ISA 2000

70-292 - MCSA Upgrade

70-296 - MCSE Upgrade

I was thinking of 70-350 (ISA 04) or 70-351 (ISA 06); can I take any of these exams to get the security qualification? Also does it expire at the end of march?

Cheers

Are you asking about the 2000 or 2003 specialization? That makes quite a difference. It looks like you're one away for 2000, but you'd need another three for 2003. Either of those ISA exams will count for the 2000 or 2003 track.

For MCSE: Security, you'll need two security electives. And, from the looks of it, you may even need to take 70-298:

Candidates who hold an MCSA or an MCSE on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server credential can take Exam 70-292 in place of Exams 70-290 and 70-291. In addition, candidates who hold an MCSE on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server credential can take Exam 70-296 in place of Exams 70-293 and 70-294. Exams 70-292 and 70-296 retire in March 2008.

Since it mentiones that 70-292 can be taken in place of 70-290 & 70-291, and 70-296 replaces 70-293 & 70-294, you may still need to take the design exam, as well as two security electives. Keep in mind, along with the Microsoft exams, you can also use Security+ as an additional MCSE: Security elective.
