How long will my certification for mcts be valid?
All new generation certifications, including Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS), Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP), and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD), retire when Microsoft discontinues mainstream support for the related technology. After a credential retires, it still appears on your transcript but is listed as "retired." In most cases, an upgrade path is available for individuals holding that credential to demonstrate their skills on the newest version of the technology without completing all exams associated with the new credential. This policy does not apply to legacy credentials, including MCDST, MCSE, and MCAD. The legacy credentials do not retire; they continue to hold their value in the marketplace as long as there is a need for IT professionals with these skills.

- When will Microsoft make a Windows 7 exam ala 70-620 for Vista or 70-270 for XP?I am currently preparing to upgrade my MCSE for Windows Server 2003 to an MCITP: Enterprise Administrator for Windows Server 2008. Part of that upgrade path is taking the 70-620 exam for Vista. I am wondering if I should hold out for a Windows 7 exam to hopefully be future compatible toward whatever the certification will be for whatever server OS comes after 2008. Does anyone know when MS will release an exam for Windows 7 and if it will be usable towards the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator for 2008? Thanks.

- Clarify MS Press book required for 70-623 MCITP certification I am considering doing the MCITP 70-623 certification. I have bought the Microsoft Press recommended text book MCITP Self paced training (70-623) :Supporting and troubleshooting apps on a win vista client for consumer support technicians. A[[erently this is all I need, but I am not sure. In the text book it is not clear if it covers the pre requesite exam 70-620. According to the MS Prep Guide they only refer to this text book but it is not clear to me whether I need to now purchase the text book for 70-620, do that exam first and then start studying the 70-623 text. Can someone please clarify this? Thanks
- Does 70-621: upgrade MCDST to MCITP count as Elective for MCSE ? Here is the certifications I passed, and I can say the Design Exam (297) is the most difficult exam I ever passed (in my life). The first one I passed was the 70-215 6 years ago, but that was still on Windows 2000. Then I passed them in the following order: 271, 272, 621, 270, 290, 291, 293, 297. Now I believe I only need 294 (core) to become MCSE certified. But a teacher told me today that my 621 may not be elective, as it is not really a 620, but just an upgrade. That scares me, I am preparing the 294, and really hope it is the last exam I have to prepare to be finally MCDST, MCITP, MCSA, and MCSE. Can please someone confirm that ?? 297 Designing a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure 293 Planning and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure 291 Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure 290 Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment 270 Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional 621 Upgrading your MCDST Certification to MCITP Enterprise Support 272 Supporting Users and Troubleshooting Desktop Applications on a Microsoft® Windows® XP Operating System 271 Supporting Users and Troubleshooting a Microsoft® Windows® XP Operating System 215 Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server Thank you, and best regards.
