    Hi,

    Hope all are doing good. I acquired MCSA (2003 Server Management) in 2011. Currently i wish to do Microsoft certification related to server Management. What certifications should i posses now to work in a Microsoft enabled environment? Will it be advisable to do 2016 Server Management certification? Can i renew the existing 2003 Certification by taking certain number of papers of 2016 Certification? It will appreciable and helpful if you can answer.

    No, you cannot upgrade from Windows Server 2003 certification to Windows Server 2016 certification.

    Usually, you can upgrade only to an adjacent newer version, for example:

    from  Windows Server 2003 -> Windows Server 2008

    from Windows Server 2008 -> Windows Server 2012

    from Windows Server 2012 -> Windows Server 2016

    Sometimes upgrade exams are available only for a limited time. If you want to achieve a Windows Server 2016 certification there is no upgrade path from Windows Server 2003.

    There is MCSA: Windows Server 2016 certification still very relevant in the industry.
