290
291
620 => MCSA
293
294
297 or 298 or 285 => MCSE
upgrade to MCITP:EA
647
649 => Done
Am I missing anything?
In terms of 297 or 298 or 285, which one is easier or better(use alot in real life) to take?
Thanks again!!!

As far as those 3 tests to choose from, which would benefit you more for where you're at now and where you plan to be down the road? As far as which is hardest I've heard it was the 285 but if that's what you currently work with a lot then that one would benefit you most.
Well, I am reading the Windows 2008 Server Certifications and Exams Overview and I do NOT see 680 serve as an upgrade exam from MSCE to MCITP:EA. However, the upgrade exam on Microsoft website does include 680 (but not 620 this time).
I am a bit confused now, need help!
Very imformative. Easy to understand.
Do you work or will work more with Vista or 7 boxes? It makes sense to me to take the test of the material that you are most exposed to.
The 285 is a good exam and would also give you MCSA Messaging but that exam is going to retire at the end of October so you need to be quick.

In terms of 297 or 298 or 285, 297 will be my pick. Anyway, My point to learn the whole thing on a enterprise level.

Don't you need the 299 as well, before getting the MCSE?

Nope, 299 is one of the security electives for MCSA/E:Secutiry
