    Please let me know the upgrade path:

    1. MCSA 2003 to MCSA 2008.

    2. MCSA 2003 to MCSA 2012.

    would be helpful if you can provide expiry dates and other information.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    The upgrade exams from MCSA 2003 to MCITP have been retired, you can now go for MCSA: Server 2008 by passing exams 70-640, 70-642, 70-646 (these used to provide MCITP: Server admin. but now you get MCSA 2008)

    From MCSA: Server 2008 you can upgrade to MCSA: Server 2012 by passing exam 70-417.

    Or go straight for MCSA: Server 2012 by passing 3 exams (70-410,70-411,70-412), this is in most cases the shortest path to MCSA: Server 2012 with only 3 exams.

    Thanks Danny. That's very clear response.

    Will prepare for MCSA 2012 then.
