Upgrade your certification to 2008

Microsoft has outlined single exam tracks allowing MCSAs and MCSEs to upgrade their certifications from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008. Once known as "Longhorn," Windows Server 2008 is still a ways out, but having an administrator base versed in it should help with its adoption.

By taking exam 70-648 (TS: Upgrading Your MCSA on Windows Server 2003 to MCTS on Windows Server 2008), MCSAs earn not one, but two MCTS accreditations:

• MCTS: Windows Server 2008 - Active Directory Configuration
• MCTS: Windows Server 2008 - Network Infrastructure Configuration

MCSEs must take exam 70-649 (TS: Upgrading Your MCSE on Windows Server 2003 to MCTS on Windows Server 2008). When they take this exam, they not only earn the two MCTS accreditations given to former MCSAs, but a third one as well: MCTS: Windows Server 2008 - Application Platform Configuration.
