Help deciding...

Hey everyone. So the certification planner on the MCP site makes my head spin when I look at it! LOL

I'm trying to decide the quickest, easiest way to finish an MCSE. Currently I have MCSA: Messaging on Windows Server 2003.

I have passed 270, 284, 290, 291.

I had now planned on doing 293, 294, 297. Would anyone do it differently if it was up to them? Is there a shorter path I'm not aware of?

Just looking for opinions. Thanks!

Nope, looks like you have it figured out. 293, 294, and 297 seem like the shortest route to finish your MCSE. Congrats on getting so much done so far. I guess the only thing I would add is that if you want to keep your messaging specialization at the MCSE level, you need to take 285 as well.

Beyond that, I'd encourage you to balance your learning on those systems and plan for learning all the products beyond them. Exchange 2010 will be released before you know it, Windows 2008 R2 just RTM'ed this month, so did Windows 7.

You've already done so much, great job with it all man. Keep up the good work :)

That's what I'd do!

You are definitely on the right track. Happy studying!

That is the right track.
Mind the 293 because is very hard
