Hi Imourana,
If you did not yet complete your MCSA certificate path for Windows Server 2008, you are not yet certified and, as a result, there's not an upgrade option. However, you can certainly either finish your MCSA certification on Windows Server 2008 first, and then prepare for the single exam (70-417) to upgrade as an MCSA on Windows Server 2012. When you are ready to study for the Windows Server 2012 upgrade exam, we have a free study guide available at http://aka.ms/sg70417
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Do you know how to be MCT for WS2012? What passing mark to be qualified as MCT for WS2012 if I take 70-417 exam? Thank you in advanced.

Hi Kamal,
You must become certified as an MCSA on Windows Server 2012 and then apply for MCT certification. You can find the full details regarding MCT requirements at: http://www.microsoft.com/le...
Hope this helps!

Keith,
It seems a little odd that MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7 cert qualifies for the upgrade, but not the MCITP: Windows 7, Enterprise Desktop Support Technician.
Could you clarify?
Keith Mayer • 10 years ago
Hi Rinc,
Thanks for your question! The skills validated in the DST certification do not cover enough server skills to set someone up for success and is much more heavily focused on the desktop, which makes it a better certification to upgrade to the MCSA: Windows 8.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Keith

Hi Granville,
Exam 70-417 will upgrade MCITP: Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Administrator to MCSA: Windows Server 2012 R2. To prepare for this upgrade exam, I'd recommend the following Exam Ref book:
