The latest news from the microsoft certification official site says that, to keep pace with changes in technology ,many older exams in MCSE/MCSA track are discontinued on a regular basis.
It is known to everyone that almost all of MCSA/MCSE exams are based on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server or MCSA on Windows Server 2003 while Windows Server 2008 has been born for a long time .So ,many of MCSE /MCSA exams has been retired ,especially MCSE/MCSA on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server .Even though some exams of MCSE/MCSA haven’t been retired ,they will expire soon .
Although the microsoft said : If we passed a required exam before it retired, it can be applied toward certification.and the credential will not expire;if we haven’t yet passed the required exams ,We can’t complete the certification track .For example :we are preparing for some MCSE/MCSA credential, but the required exams will be retired before we passed them while we had passed some of exams .More important ,We don’t know when it is on other exams’ turn in MCSA/MCSE exams.
So, in my opinion ,the MCSA/MCSE has timed out ,and it should move forward.
