The MCITP: EDST does not qualify for the upgrade path to MCSA: 2012
MCSE: Server Infrastructure | Microsoft Learning
How to upgrade to the MCSE: Server Infrastructure certification
You can upgrade these certifications to the MCSE: Server Infrastructure certification.
MCSA: Windows Server 2008
MCITP: Server Administrator on Windows Server 2008
MCITP: Enterprise Administrator on Windows Server 2008
MCITP: Virtualization Administrator on Windows Server 2008 R2
MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010
MCITP: Lync Server Administrator 2010
MCITP: SharePoint Administrator 2010
MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7
You will need to upgrade your 2003 MCSA to a 2008 MCSA with the 646/648 combo, then take the 417 exam to upgrade the 2008 MCSA to a 2012 MCSA. You could also take the 680/686 combo to earn the MCITP : EDA and then the 417 exam.
