I have been an MCSE NT4 since sep 99 and I found out about 6 months ago that my the tests will expire at the end of this year. I don’t have a problem with that, what I have a problem with is that they will expire my certification UNLESS I take the upgrade. The upgrade involves a 4 hour test for the initial core 4, plus an aditional core exam, followed by an elective (if you have IIS 4 or tcp/ip, which I have both). Thats a total of 3 exams at about 6 to 7 hours total. I don’t have a problemwith that if thats what you want, but its unfair that if I don’t upgrade my current certification will be invalid. I busted my but for this certification and after only 2 years they will take it away. Screw Microsoft and their certifications. I amnow going with Sun certification. And most others will expire the exams but not the actual certifications. I am MCSE for NT4 and I should be able to claim that for life.
What do you think? Preferabley MCSE NT4 discussion.
