What are
the requirements for a W2K MCSE/MCSA to upgrade his or her
certification to the Windows 2003 MCSE/MCSA certification?
Microsoft has designed an upgrade path
that will enable a current MCSE on Windows 2000 to earn the Windows
Server 2003 credential in a time- and cost-effective manner.
The certification requirements for
MCSE on Windows Server 2003 differ from those for MCSE on Windows
2000. As a result, you must either complete the entire Windows 2000
track or the entire Windows Server 2003 track to become certified as
an MCSE. However, if you complete your MCSE or MCSA certification in
Windows 2000, you will have the opportunity to take advantage of an
upgrade path that will enable you to update your certification to
Windows Server 2003 in a time- and cost-effective manner.
The Windows Server 2003 exams will be
released in the second half of 2003.

Note: The Windows Server 2003
upgrade exam for MCSAs covers a direct subset of the job tasks that
are included in typical MCSE skills. The skills tested by the MCSA
upgrade exam are expected to be part of an MCSE's job tasks. The
good news is that by passing exam 70-292 you will automatically
become certified as an MCSA on Windows Server 2003.
