    Hello!

    I hold an MCSE in Server Infrastructure (Server 2012) and was wondering about completing an Exchange certification, the new 2016 version looks very appealing to me.

    The question is, can I just pass the 70-345 exam (Exchange 2016) and would I automatically meet criteria for MCSE Messaging?

    From MCSE Messaging description it looks like it can be achieved in 4 ways, with a MCSA based on either Office 365 or Server 2012 and then by passing exams for Exchange 2013 (2 exams) or 2016 (1 exam)... so am I correct in assuming that passing a single exam 70-345 can give me MCSE in Messaging? Correct me if wrong please, thanks.

    never mind, looks like it works that way too, so MCSA 2012 + (EX13 / 2 exams)or(EX16 / 1 exam) to get Messaging, nice.

    Thanks for input Danny, but from what you say it sounds like MCSA O365 cert is needed to get the Exchange/Messaging cert. That is not true, as Microsoft allows to substitute MCSA in Office 365 with MCSA server 2012, then it's up to candidate to choose which Exchange they want to get certified on - 2013 (2 exams) or 2016 (1 exam).

    MS described those alternate paths under Additional Options:
