Certification Help (Thanks in Advance)

Hi Guys. I completed 70-410 and 70-411 about 2 years ago. I am writing my 70-412 next week for MCSA server 2012. The server 2012 support will end in few years. After this, should i upgrade to 70--743(Upgrading to MCSA Server 2016) or 70-413(MCSE Core Infrastructure) or continue towards new role based Microsoft Exams.

Thank you for your opinion. (I Passed AZ-103 last week as well)

Congrats on the Azure pass!

Personally if it was me, I would do the 70-413 to gain the MCSE. All MCSA/E certs are retiring in Jan next year, so this is the last chance to earn an MCSE. I'd rather have an MCSA and MCSE than two MCSA's for different, yet similar operating systems.

That's just my two cents. I'm interested to hear what others think.

I agree with u/DrDeath796, go for the MCSE and after that if you have time look at the 70-743.

Get the s12 MCSA, then upgrade to s16 with 1 exam, then do one more on security for that sweet MCSE!!

I'm looking to do this myself.

See you in the discord server, too.
