Thanks 4 info but do i need to take Exam 70-058: Networking Essentials before taking MCP since I have Network+ cert?

If you pass any current Microsoft exam you become MCP, whether it be OS, Security, Programming etc... I believe 70-058 has been retired, but not the MCP program.

Once you figure what line of work you're interested in, go back to the above page. Choose a track that suits those desires. Read thru a few more information on each. Like LazyArt said, pass any M$ exam, and you've earned the MCP credential.

Networking Essentials is an exam from the NT 4.0 MCSE. The exam was retired some time ago. Look into the Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 tracks current exams.
