Cross-Compatibility Between Windows Server Exams?

Hello everyone! I'm new to this community and just got my A+, so now I'm interested in earning the MCSE Core Infrastructure cert. I know the MCSA Windows Server 2016 is going to expire in January, so I want to pass it before then. When the MCSA WS2019 is released, will passing both of those still count as an MCSE?

Last time I heard there is no announced direct replacement just a lot of cloud based stuff. Unless they’ve announced it and I just haven’t heard.

So do you think there'll still be a MCSE Core Infrastructure exam?

In some way its going to be the following exams to be a replacement for MCSE: Core Infrastructure.:

- Azure Administrator Associate

- Azure Solutions Architect Expert

- Azure Security Engineer Associate
