70-680 count towards MCSE

[mlchris2]

So I've got two more exams to take and I have my MCSE 2003 Messaging and Security.

I have one question in regards to the OS exams. Can I take the 70-680 exam instead of the 70-270 and 70-620 exams and still have it count toward my MCSE???

I know the 70-680 will count towards my MCITP certs and id rather take the test that would get me my MCSE and one setup closer to MCITP status than take a exam that is going to cost me $$$ in the long run.

thanks.

I haven't seen a good answer to this yet. My suggestion would be to log into the MCP site and then click on "View My..." and select "Certification Planner" and see what it says. Either that or email the MCPHelp@microsoft.com address to see what they say.

Realise I'm a bit out of date with the post but thought I'd update.

70-680 does count towards MCSE / MCSA Certs, stated by MS on this page:

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mcse.aspx#tab2

along with counting towards the MCITP.
