MCTS query

Question

I'm looking at going for MCSA: Windows Server 2008 and will probably go for exam 646 - Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator first. If I pass this will I be an MCTS: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator? I notice these were the only MCTS titles via http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/mcts-certification.aspx#fbid=bb3SEb95NRr - it doesn't list MCTS: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator

MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuration
MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuration
MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuration
MCTS: Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard, Configuration
MCTS: Windows Essential Business Server 2008, Configuration
MCTS: Windows Internals
MCTS: Windows HPC Server 2008, Development

Hi,

Server Administrator is MCITP instead of MCTS. So by passing the exams for Server administrator before 31 July you will get the MCITP: Server Administrator and MCSA: Server 2008 certification. After 31 July many certifications retire and then these exams will only provide MCSA:Server 2008.
