Microsoft has advised that MCSA 2003 is still available as per the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mcsa-previous.aspx#tab2
Note: Many of the exams in this certification track are retired. If a required exam is retired and you have not yet passed that exam, you cannot complete the certification track. You must fulfill all listed requirements to earn the certification. If
you passed a required exam before it retired, it can be applied toward certification.
Microsoft has also advised that the following Q&A found in the FAQ at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mcsa.aspx is incorrect and will be removed:
Q. What is the difference between the new Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) certifications and the previous Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator certifications?
A. The new Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) credential focuses on the ability to design and build technology solutions. The previous Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator certification focused on a specific job role and can no
longer be earned.
I hope this clarifies some of the confusion surrounding the old MCSA 2003 certification
