I currently have the MCSA 2003 and was wandering which of the 2008 credentials people would recommend upgrading to?

Thanks

Sam

    I'd wrap up your MCSE and upgrade to the EA if I were you.

    Agreed - however i'm nearly MCSA as well and have been wondering the same.
    I dont think i will be able to upgrde to MCSE though as i have never used exchange icon_sad.gif

    Is an exchange exam required?

    I think you're thinking of the Messaging specialization. There is a wide range of electives you can choose from for your MCSA/E.

    According to your cert list you already have the MCSE elective covered by the Vista Exam.

    270 - Client
    620 - Elective
    290 - Core
    291 - Core - Now MCSA
    293 - Core
    294 - Core
    297 or 298 - Design - Now MCSE

    Then for EA
    620 - Client
    649 - MCSE to MCTS Upgrade
    647 - MCTIP:EA

    Exchange would be a more marketable cert than Vista for the elective, but Vista counts.
