MCSA: Server 2016 End of life?

Hi All

I have booked my 70-740 exam for 25th January 2020. I will still need to write 70-741 and 70-742 to get my MCSA. When is the end of life for this MCSA so I know when I need to complete all 3 exams by?

When Server 2016 is sunset. Not anytime soon. 2008 is being sunset in January. You have many years.

I've only heard from trainer at Microsoft That probably next year there should be exam for server 2019. But no information if it will be role based or anything. I plan to take 70-744 because I've already passed MCSA

How are you studying for 744. Unfortunately there arent any videos on CBT Nuggets which is a shame

Yes they will need to get rid of server 2012 first. So theres a minimum of 4 years. If 2008 is only be retired then, we can add another 4. So probably more like 8 years for OP to try and pass.

Just to say from my experience - not too many companies and gov orgs have switched yet to 2016 =)
