As far as I know, MCSE Certifications do not expire. MCP certifications do expire one year after the exam has been retired but not MCSE's.
The new 2008 certifications will expire every three years unless renewed but older 2000 and 2003 MCSE certifications do not. I may be mistaken but I am basing my opinion on this quote from Microsoft's Certification website: Q. What happens to my current certification? A. Professionals who hold any currently recognized Microsoft certification do not need to renew their credentials. Your current credentials will be recognized as long as they are in demand, and they will continue to be supported by Microsoft. Microsoft also continues to recognize specializations in Messaging and Security for the MCSA and MCSE certifications, with the exception of certifications that have already expired. Q. Will my current certifications expire? A. No, your current certifications will not expire Hope this helps, Steve Moore, MCSA, MCSE Amerex Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________ From: Matthew Carpenter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 04:09 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: MCSE Update? I was informed that my old MCSE 2000 certification is being retired soon. I do not put much weight on such things, and neither does my employer. In fact, I am hardly doing hands on technical work anymore. I am debating on whether to even pursue updating the certification at all. That said, if I don't, and do need it someday, I will need to start over completely. What a pain. Is anyone else debating the same thing? -- http://www.otbdesign.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/mqcarpenter This e-mail and any file(s) transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the recipient to whom they are addressed.
