Post 2003 MCSA
I'm a little confused as to how I can upgrade from MCSA to MCITP. I know the upgrade path but my situation is slightly different. The exams I've done are:
70-270
70-290
70-291

I am currently studying for: 70-680 (windows 7)
I am hoping this will still give me my MCSA for 2003 so that I may sit 70-648 bridging course.

I believe the MCSA2003 certification is still valid but can it still be obtained and can it be done in the way I propose above?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

I can't believe that in over a month I've not received even one reply. I'm not having a go at anyone or the forum but I'm suprised (if not somewhat relieved :P) that I'm not alone in my confusion. Can anyone shed any light or even point me in the right direction on this one? I'm beginning to feel that the exams I've done in 2003 have been a waste of time (in regards to my MCITP exam path that is) and I'll have to start again with the 08 family.

Probably hearing slience because readers have not yet attained a MCSA and thus do not know the answer.

Using google, I was able to quickly find what looks to me to be your answer. But I'd check with Microsoft Learning to get a definitive answer if I were you.

The window is fast closing for Windows 2003 (MCSE / MCSA). If one or more of the exams you have not complete is listed as obsolete, not being offered any more. Then effectively, you can can not complete the requirements.
