    Does anyone know if the recently added windows 7 upgrade exam 70-682 can be used in place of the 70-680 exam for MCITP: Enterprise Administrator. I'm currently a MCSE and MCDST if i upgrade my Desktop support to windows 7 it would be very annoying if i then had to take another client exam in order to upgrade from MCSE to MCITP, especially when i'd already have the full qualification of MCITP: Enterprise support technican in windows 7.

    Annoying is right. Especially since another place on the Microsoft site says the VISTA 621 desktop cert can be substituted for any 620 requirement.

    Hi

     

    70-682 does in fact give you 70-680, so you can use 70-682 towards your mcsa or mcse.

    That's not the question.  Gav222 is already MCSE and MCDST and wants to upgrade to MCITP Enterprise Administrator and MCITP: Windows 7.  He's in the same boat as me so I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

    To go from MCDST to MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7, all you need is to write 70-682.

    To go from MCSE to MCITP Enterprise Administrator you need 70-649 and 70-680.

    However, 70-682 is supposed to be a combination of 70-680 and 70-685.  So what Gav222 and I both want to know is: why do we need to write 70-680 when we've already written 70-682?  Why can't 70-682 apply to MCITP Enterprise Administrator requirements instead of 70-680 when writing 70-680 is clearly redundant, given that we've written 70-682?

    Well, I passed the 70-682 today.  A bit harder than I expected, but passed nonetheless.

     

    I look forward to seeing my Certification Planner in a couple of days to see what my options are!

     

    I really don't want to write 70-680, being that I just wrote it inside of the 70-682 exam...

    Hi, Ndlangamandla!

    <---Please vote here if my answer is helpful, since you cannot mark my response as an answer to a post that you did not start.

    There are six (6) different MCSE certification titles for Windows. Here they are, including two (2) unrelated titles for SQL Server (Data Platform and Business Intelligence):
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcse-certification.aspx

    No matter which of the six (6) MCSE certifications you are going for, you will need to pass two (2) exams to upgrade to MCSA: Windows Server 2012. They are:

    Since you have already earned the title MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician, I am guessing that you want to go for MCSE: Desktop Infrastructure. However, I could be wrong. You can go for any of the six (6) MCSE Windows certification titles by just passing its two (2) related exams.

    For example, to earn the MCSE: Desktop Infrastructure title, you will need to pass these two (2) exams:

    Good luck!

    Best wishes, Davin Mickelson
