Together with the core exams, the elective exams provide a valid and reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise to successfully manage and maintain the typically complex computing environment of medium-to-large-sized companies. MCSA candidates should have 6 to 12 months of experience administering client and network operating systems.

For an MCSA on Windows 2000:

  • Networking: An MCSA on Windows 2000 has the option to take Exam 70-292 instead of the two core network exams. However, an MCSA on Windows 2000 can choose to take both core network exams.

  • Client: An MCSA on Windows 2000 has already passed Exam 70-210 or 70-270, which also satisfies the client requirement for MCSA on Windows Server 2003; therefore, no further action is required.

  • Elective: Elective exams are required so that candidates prove technical breadth, interoperability skills, or additional technical depth. For an MCSA on Windows 2000, the current MCSA credential satisfies the elective requirement for Windows Server 2003 because it proves the ability to support another version of the platform; therefore, no further action is required.
