    in a microsoft sites i noticed that 70-624 is retired on October 31, 2010. Is that mean it is not added any value to my certification any more??

    Hi Setu,

    No it does not mean that, Microsoft retire exams when mainstream support stops for the product.

    However that does not make the qualification unimportant.

    It show your history and also a lot of sites do not keep up with MIcrosoft upgrades.

    I went to a large site recently who were still on Windows 95, I am sure others have even more extreme examples.

    (The certificate does not get removed from your transcript)

    So do not worry.

    Kind Regards,

    Ozzy Geoff

    thanks Geoff for your reply. As there is a option either 70-620 or 70-624 to complete mcitp server or enterprise administrator....if 70-624 already expired then can i become server or enterprise administrator without attending 70-620 exam??

     

    Another thing is that is there any expiration date of mcitp certificate??

    Hi Setu,

    MCITP Server Asministrator requires 70-640, 70-642 and 70-646, so no issues.

    MCITP: Enterprise Administrator requires  70-640, 70-642, 70-643 and 70-647 plus one of the following 70-620/70-624/70-680/70-681.  Basically the Windows 7 exams have replaced the VIsta exams, so again you do not need to take 70-620.

    Hope this helps and good luck.

    Kind Regards,

    Ozzy Geoff
