The exam you need, or rather, needed, was 70-648: "Upgrading your MCSA on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008", but it was retired in July 31, 2013. I'm afraid that if you didn't take the upgrade exams when they were still available, at this point your only option is to start afresh with the whole set of new exams.

Debiste hacer el examen 70-648 cuando aún estaba vigente. Lamentablemente, a fecha de hoy han sido retirados los exámenes de actualización desde la versión 2003, por lo que ya no puedes actualizar tu antigua certificación. Tendrás que empezar desde cero con los exámenes actuales.

Hi,
Please go through this link https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-in/default.aspx.
You will get all the information to become MCSA 2008.
You need to start with fresh MCSA2008. You need to clear three below exams.
1. 70-640 ACTIVE DIRECTORY
2. 70-642 NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
3. 70-646 SERVER ADMINISTRATOR
All the best and good luck.

Hi ZIDAC,
I would suggest you to please go for the 2012 R2 Certification Exam if available in the market
other-wise you have to take this exam after the MCSA examination of server 2008 R2.
Over to you.
