MCDST to MCSA path

HolyWars

A few weeks ago I obtained my MCDST and am now looking to take the path to MCSA. From my understanding the MCDST can be used as the elective, so that would leave me needing to take 290,291 and 1 more core exam which I am thinking of taking 70-620. This combonation of MCDST/70-620/70-290/70-291 would be enough to satisfy the MCSA requirement if I am not mistaken yeah?


Thanks

Yep. Just remember that it cannot be used as an elective for the MCSE, so you'll have to do Security+, Exchange, or one of the others once you get to that point.

Congrats on your MCDST!

Thanks for the fast reply. Yeah I was pretty sure it couldnt be used as the elective for the MCSE.

Sounds like a good plan. 70-620 is a good choice for your desktop exam, since it counts towards both MCSE and MCITP: Enterprise Adminsitrator, should you choose to upgrade in the future.

HolyWars...take the 621 and that will count as your 620. That way, you'll be upgraded from MCDST to MCITP:EST and also be MCTS as well.
