Upgrade exam
For an MCSA on Windows 2000 credential, the
candidate should keep the following in mind:
- Networking: An MCSA on Windows 2000 has the
option to take Exam 70-292 instead of the two
core network exams. However, an MCSA on Windows
2000 can choose to take both core network exams.
- Client: An MCSA on Windows 2000 has already
passed Exam 70-210 or 70-270, which also
satisfies the client requirement for MCSA on
Windows Server 2003; therefore, no further
action is required.
- Elective: Elective exams are required so
that candidates prove technical breadth,
interoperability skills, or additional technical
depth. For an MCSA on Windows 2000, the current
MCSA credential satisfies the elective
requirement for Windows Server 2003 because it
proves the ability to support another version of
the platform; therefore, no further action is
required.
