Which elective exams from the Windows NT 4.0 MCSE track count toward the Windows 2000 MCSE track?
A. All elective exams in the Windows NT 4.0 track also count toward the Windows 2000 track. However, after an elective exam retires, candidates using that exam to fulfill an elective requirement are required to pass another elective that has not retired. This requirement must be fulfilled within a specified length of time of the exam’s retirement. For example, Exam 70-059: Internetworking with Microsoft® TCP/IP on Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 will retire February 28, 2001. If you pass this exam, it will apply as an elective credit toward both the Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 MCSE tracks until December 31, 2001. To remain certified after that date, you must pass another elective exam by December 31, 2001. Please see the list of MCSE elective exams, including indication of which exams are scheduled for retirement. Please also see the full exam retirement policy and upgrade requirements for specific exams.
