where to start with windows certs

ok been at this for a while....

But I am thinking about knocking out some windows certs....

I guess this is a dumb question when i say:

I am using mostly win2003 at work....

But would you go that route or start down the 2008 path if you were starting fresh?

Start with 2003 and Use 70-620 for your client OS. You'll need to do six more exams for your MCSE and only two to upgrade to MCITP: Enterprise Administrator.

70-290

can any of the 2003 test be applied to the 2008 track at all?

620 is the only one that overlaps.

thanks bro...

I guess it would still be good to get the 2003 and then only have to take 4 tests to have the 2008 cert...

If you have a 2003 MCSE, you'd only need two more to upgrade to MCITP: Enterprise Administrator.
