MCSA/ 70-210 or 70-270

remyforbes777

I am now studying for my MCSA and I bought an all in one book off of Amazon.com for the 70-210, 70-215, and 70-218 for about 2 dollars. What I am wondering is , is this an outdated test. Should I be taking the 70-270 for XP?

It's not out to date, Microsoft will be supporting 2000 for a long time to come now. Look at how long NT has been out, and they are just now stopping support for it. 2000 is still too widely used in the corporate world. I work for a large company now and all of our desktop loads are 2000 (over 2000). My last company wouldn't use XP because of all the bugs it had at the time, and wouldn't work right for their applications.

Outdated wasnt the best wording for my question. I am just wondering if getting the MCSA in XP would be a better choice.

Perhaps you should consider getting your MCSA/MCSE on Win 2000, but getting your core client exam on 70-270. Both the 70-210 and the 70-270 apply towards MCSA/MCSE on Win 2000 and 2003.

Gotcha, thanks for the advice. I will consider doing that.
