I was wondering if I recieve any certifications for passing just the 70-640? I passed my 70-680 a while back and I'm about to take my 70-685. Would I have to take the three server exams to get one cert or would I recieve one for each test I take.

you get a MCTS, altho that may change in the future when all the titles and certs change.

You need to pass all exams to get the cert. Technically your an MCTS for passing one test, but to physically receive a paper certificate and wallet card, you'd need to pass the other two exams.* Currently pursuing: PhD: Information Security and Information Assurance
* Certifications: CISSP, CEH, CHFI, CCNA:Sec, CCNA:R&S, CWNA, ITILv3, VCA-DCV, LPIC-1, A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+, Project+, and many more...
* Degrees: MSc: Cybersecurity and Information Assurance; BSc: Information Technology - Security; AAS: IT Network Systems Administration -

Are you sure? I just went on the MS support site and one of the guys said I would get a cert for each exam I pass. The reason I ask is my job only gives us a $1,000 bonus for each cert we get. I plan on going to eruope next year so I'm more concerned with an actual cert this year then getting my MCSE 2008. -

Login to the MCP site and you should be able to download a PDF/XPS certificate there - it's on the right-hand side when you login "Download or purchase a certificate".
Yea I called MS just to be sure and they told me I get an MCTS cert for every exam I pass. Someone also posted a link to the cert exam site and it says you will get an MCTS cert for the 70-640 and 70-642 not the 70-646 though. -

You will get a MCTS cert for 70-640 & 70-642 but a MCITP cert for 70-646. With the MCITP being obviously better as it requires 3 exams to achieve. -
