MCSE Upgrade: 70-642/643 OR 70-646/647

pauljhester

I am MSCE Security & Messaging. I want to obtain my MCITP SA and EA. I know that I need to take the 70-649 upgrade test and 70-620 for the EA, but other test have been misleading. This forum and some Microsoft documentation mentions to take 70-649, 70-646 and 70-647 which I think is correct. But, when I view the Microsoft Certification Planner on the MCP website, it mentions to take 70-649, 70-642 and 70-643. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Paul

You'll need to take the upgrade exam and the respective pro-level exam for the SA and the EA. For the EA, you'll also need to do a Vista exam. You'll need to do a total of four exams to get both of them.

Thats what I thought, but I wanted to clarify... I figured out my confusion. Microsoft only lists the MCTS information in the MCP Certification Planner, and not MCITP.

This is what I am going to do. MSCE 2003 then upgrade.
