Road to MCSE Messaging…

To gain a MCSE Messaging, I will first need a MCSA. Which at first glance meant three server exams (410,411 and 412) not having done any server exams was not looking forward to doing these.

Then I noticed on the Microsoft webpage that I’m able to upgrade my MCTIP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010 to MCSA: Windows Server 2012 with a single upgrade exam 70-417.

The content of 70-417 covers the other three exams (410,411 and 412) but doing a single exam rather than three is better, having worked with Windows Server and AD since 2003, just not done the exams.

So first step to MCSE Messaging will be Exam 70-417, just need to find time get my head into a book for some study…
