MCSA Exam To Go Live Jan. 22


1/1/2002 -- During an MCPmag.com online chat that took place Dec. 19, Director of the Microsoft Certification and Skills Assessment group Anne Marie McSweeney said that the Managing a Windows 2000 Network exam (70-218) -- a core exam required for the company's new Microsoft Certifed Administrator (MCSA) title -- will go live Jan. 22, 2002.

Because of beta exams taken, there is a likelihood on the day of its release that there will already be a few hundred MCSA title holders. The requirements for the MCSA are as follows:

A. One core client operating systems exam70-210, Installing, Configuring and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, or 70-270, Installing, Configuring and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional (not yet available).

B. One core networking systems exam70-215, Installing, Configuring and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, or 70-275, Installing, Configuring and Administering Microsoft Windows .NET Server (not yet available).

C. One required core Networking Systems exam70-218, Managing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Environment, or 70-278, Managing a Microsoft Windows. NET Network Environment (not yet available).

D. One elective among the following: 70-028, System Administration for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0; 70-081, Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5; 70-086, Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0; 70-216, Implementing and Administering a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure, among others.

Those who have passed the Accelerated Exam (70-240, which retired at the end of 2001) can apply that exam to requirements A and B. Also, those who have taken specified CompTIA exams can use them as a waiver for requirement D. (The qualifying combination is A+/Network+ or A+/Server+.)

1/12/02: Brian King from London says: The absence of any directional learning material made the lengthy beta exam a little challenging. The length of time given to prepare for the sudden invitation to sit the beta exam was on the other hand somewhat shorter. However, I was able to put together my own study guide from a host of other MCSE/MCP training material that I have at my disposal. I now await in anticipation for my result. Anyone know the date for the release of beta results?
1/13/02: Ex Microsoft Lover from Jakarta says: First Windows 2000, then XP and .Net. I'm already MCP for Professional and Server, already completed book for MCSE Exams path Windows 2000, but Microsoft makes me headache (in 2 years launch new OS and new path again) and getting frustrated. Linux is better for me now, and got a good prospect
1/21/02: Pankaj from Frankfurt says: Hi I have cleared the MCSA Exam got the result through e-mail with the subject "Congratulations". But I don't know that after the live exam avability do i have to re appear in the live exam when i have already passed the beta exam..
1/22/02: Anonymous from Dallas says: So where are the braindumps for the new Microsoft exam 70-218?
4/11/02: Pritesh from India says: Where i can get my MCSD result's Transcript through mail..
2/21/03: Tomal from Bangladesh says: I Love Networking.i Want To Know Mcsa.Will You Tell Me How Can I Do This.I Want A MCSA Book Through Mail.
2/27/03: Ohzoso from Netherlands says: I recently passed the 218 exam and am allowed to call myself MCSA now(on paper!!). When i read all these titles from people i wonder where i stand as MCSA 2003. Its hard to find a job as an MCSA here. Can it be that companies dont know the surplus value of 218...?, IF there is a surplus value. Beside that, how can a man practice W-2000 administrator when you don`t get the chance to work with this relative new O.S.?? Half 2002 I knew nothing of computers, now I am MCSA-W-2000 oriented and I feel bad, really bad that my hard study period seems to be for nothing.How many exams does a man need to take before being recognized by companies as a Microsoft Certified Professional and that they give you a chance to practice?? It seems to me that a man only counts when he`got his MCSE-credentials!!
3/4/03: basel says: mcsa exams
7/16/03: harish kumar.S from mayiladuthurai says: I am very much interested in doing the certification. it is super
8/27/03: Ohzoso from Netherlands says: mcsa certified means nothing, at least in the eyes of companies, go for mcse.
