Will you be able to go from MCSA:2003 to the MCITP without gaining your MCSE first?

Yes, according to my Microsoft Regional Service Center this is the path they recommend for me going from MCSA 2000 to MCITP without the MCSE:

Exam 70-290 and Exam 70-291 will give you the credit for Exam 70-292. Once you would achieve MCSA certification on Windows server 2003, you may only take Windows server 2008 transition exam 70-648 in order to achieve following MCTS certifications.

By passing exam 70-648 you will earn following certifications:
MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration
and
MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration

Then, if you would take the exam 70-646, you would also achieve MCITP: Server Administrator certification on Windows server 2008.

You may then take these exams to upgrade to MCITP: Enterprise Administrator certification on Windows server 2008:
70-643
70-620 or 70-624
1 Professional series Enterprise Administrator certification ? 70-647

Thank you for the information. I will continue on with my prep for the 290 / 291 exams - then look into the MCITP.

That being said, I would prefer a later MCSE retirement, so I have more time to complete the last 2 required exams.

So you are hoping for two more years?

LOL, I don't know, I may start giving snadam a run for his money. I did have a 8 month break for work/family issues, but now am back.

If I can get motivated, surely we can cross the finish line at the same time buddy!
