Upgrade
exams
Microsoft has designed an upgrade path that w=
ill
enable a current MCSE to earn the Windows Server 2003 credential in=
a
time-effective and cost-effective manner.
For the MCSE on Windows 2000 credential, the
candidate should keep the following in mind:
- Networking: An MCSE on Windows 2000 has the optio=
n to
take only Exams 70-292 and 70-296 instead of all four core net=
work
exams; however, an MCSE on Windows 2000 can elect to take all =
four
core network exams.
- Client: An MCSE on Windows 2000 has already passe=
d Exam
70-210 or 70-270, which also satisfies the client requirement =
for
MCSE on Windows Server 2003; therefore, no action is required.=
- Design: The design skills required of an MCSE on
Windows Server 2003 do not differ significantly from those
required of an MCSE on Windows 2000; therefore, no action is
required.
- Elective: Elective exams are required so that
candidates prove technical breadth, interoperability skills, or
additional technical depth. For MCSEs on Windows 2000, the cur=
rent
MCSE credential satisfies the elective requirement for Windows
Server 2003 because it proves the ability to support another
version of the platform; therefore, no additional action is
required.
For the MCSE on Windows NT 4.0 credential, the
candidate should keep the following in mind:
- Networking: The core networking skills required f=
or
Windows Server 2003 are significantly different than those
required for Windows NT 4.0; therefore, an MCSE on Windows NT =
4.0
must prove their skills on all four core network exams.
- Client: If the candidate has already taken either=
Exam
70-210 or 70-270, no additional action is required.
- Design: An MCSE on Windows NT 4.0 was not require=
d to
prove design skills, so they must prove their skills by passing
either a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 design exam. If t=
he
candidate has already taken a Windows 2000 design exam, no
additional action is required.
- Elective: Elective exams are required so that
candidates prove technical breadth, interoperability skills, or
additional technical depth. For an MCSE on Windows NT 4.0, the
MCSE credential itself satisfies the elective requirement for
Windows Server 2003 because it proves the ability to support
another version of the platform; therefore, no additional acti=
on
is required.
For the Microsoft Certified Systems Administr=
ator
(MCSA) on Windows 2000 credential, the candidate should keep the
following in mind:
- Networking: An MCSA on Windows 2000 has the optio=
n to
take Exam 70-292 instead of Exams 70-290 and 70-291. However,
Exams 70-293 and 70-294 are still required.
- Client: An MCSA on Windows 2000 has already passe=
d Exam
70-210 or 70-270, which also satisfies the client requirement =
for
MCSE on Windows Server 2003; therefore, no action is required.=
- Design: The MCSA certification does not require
candidates to prove design skills. To attain the MCSE on Windo=
ws
Server 2003 certification, you must pass a design exam listed =
in
the certification requirements that are described earlier.
- Elective: Elective exams are required so that
candidates prove technical breadth, interoperability skills, or
additional technical depth. For an MCSA on Windows 2000, the M=
CSA
credential itself satisfies the elective requirement for MCSE =
on
Windows Server 2003 because it proves the ability to administer
another version of the platform; therefore, no additional acti=
on
is required.
