In short, no. The A+ exam (or any 3rd party exam for that matter) is not a requirement for any Microsoft exam.
Hope that helps.

Hello Michael -
thank you very much for answering my question - to me it was worth 100 votes because I have been in circles trying to get some help. It seems because I am a newbie of sorts - more troubleshooting than anything else, I am on the outer rim.
Thanks again.Wednesday, May 13, 2009 2:28 AM -
