Upgrade of MCSA 2003

SamHawkins

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

Thanks

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

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.
