Does the MCSE 2003 Expire? Can someone point me in the direction of the document that shows certification renewal/expiration info? I'm assuming that the MCSE does expire, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm coming up on my 3 year anniversary as an MCSE and I want to make sure there is nothing that I should do. Thanks in advance!
In a word....No. The MCSE will no longer be obtainable after a certain date as the exams will expire. you are however certified for life once you pass all the required exams. There are no known public dates for the MCSE Exam Retirement, but my guess is not before MArch of 2010.

- 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.
