Do you get any "title" after passing 1 MCSA exam?

Is it called an MCP 2003 or just MCP?

Unless they changed it, it's just MCP. Didn't you get an into kit when you passed your first NT test? It's the same concept. Each time you get a new title, they'll send you a new intro kit (unless they've cheaped out). I have 3 lapel pins somewhere for each level of my NT tests (MCP, MCP + Internet, MCSE).

Yes I got a kit with a bunch of those stylish pins that always fall out of my Microsoft file! I was just wondering how they distinguished between MCPs for NT, 2000 & 2003?

I know there for a while, they were going to cancel the certs for 4.0 MCSE's. But then they back tracked on it when the community basically boycotted 2k because of it.

I haven't actually seen the pins, but the certs are supposed to be MCSE for 4.0, MCSE2000 for 2k, etc, etc.

Have a look at your transcript at the MCP site. It will tell you there.

MCP is MCP. You don't specify a platform for MCP.

Just because Microsoft doesn't distinguish between MCPs on different platforms doesn't mean that you can't do so on your resume.

You could always say something to the effect of:
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) on Windows Server 2003
(or somesuch).

Microsoft has very specific rules about using there certifications.

Credentials and certification areas can be expressed as follows: "I'm a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. My areas of certification include X and Y."

Credentials and certification areas can be expressed as follows: "I'm a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. My areas of certification include X and Y."

This is for indicating credentials verbally. The remainder of the "usage guidelines" seem to relate to the use of specific logos, and the creation of specific logos.

In general, I'd assume that a line stating MCP (or an MCP logo) on one's resume would lead the interviewer to ask what subject(s) the individual is certified on. I'd certainly do that if I were the interviewer.

The use of text on a resume isn't crystal clear to me according to Microsoft's "usage guidelines", but to be safe, listing MCP (as text) on a resume seems to be permitted.
