70-620 and 70-236 as Windows Server 2003 electives?

  • Artículo

Yes, it is true! it is true! Any day now these will be added to the MCSA and MCSE sites for elective credit. As soon as it is "official" (the pages have been updated) I'll let you know. Here's what will change:

  • Under CORE: CLIENT OPERATING SYSTEM EXAMS (one required), 70-620 (Vista MCTS) is being added.
  • Under ELECTIVES (one required), the additions are 70-236 (Exchange 2007 MCTS), 70-445, 70-500, 70-501, 70-630, and 70-631. In the case of MCSE, 70-620 can be used as either your client elective OR your general elective, but not both.

ok, bye.

<update> Changes are now reflected on the certification grids:

    Looks like 624 is missing from the list... Why?

    If 236 will count towards MCSE:M what is the point of the MCITP:Exchange Messaging Administrator?

    Hi Trikah, Can I use 70-620 as a general elective for MCSA 2003 instead of as an elective for the client elective? I was refering to the blog below but the more recent blogs are confusing me. http://blogs.msdn.com/trika/archive/2007/01/11/may-i-use-70-620-as-an-mcse-elective-and-other-faq-about-vista-cert-exams.aspx Thanks.

    HeeSoo, Check the last sentense: " In the case of MCSE, 70-620 can be used as either your client elective OR your general elective, but not both." That means that yes, you can use 70-620 as your general elective and not as your client elective. Example(1):  You already took 70-270, so you have met the client elective requirement, you can use 70-620 as your general elective. Example(2): You are starting out now your MCSE path, and you decide that instead of taking exam 70-270(XP), you want to take better 70-620(Vista), you can use 70-620 as your client elective and not as your general elective.

    Thanks Trika and R. But again my issue is with MCSA 2003 not MCSE 2003. So can I use 70-620 as my general elective for <b>MCSA</b> 2003.

    No. You can only use it towards the core or elective of MCSA, not both.
