If your R/S exam has expired then I think you will need to do it again.

Passing the SP Written exam would mean you would have a passed SP but an expired R/S still.

you mean there are no relation between SP and R/S ?

yes my R/S still valid but i plan to take the SP and i want my R/S to be updat How?

All expert exams refresh all other expert exams, the same as for the other levels.
So if you pass ANY expert exam (such as SP CCIE written or lab) it will automaticly refresh your R&S aswell.

Yes but if the R/S has expired - will this refresh that one too?

I thought once a written was expired, the candidate would need to go sit that exam again.

The original question is a bit unclear, but from what I can make out - he says his R/S is expiring in a month, but he plans to take the SP in 10 days - in THAT case- then yes it would refresh it.

The exams renew certifications, not other exams as far as I know. So if you have an active CCIE R&S you can renew it with a SP Written but it won't reactivate the time on just another written exam.
