Hello

I already have a CCNA, and although I plan on going on for a CCNP I would like to start on the path for Microsoft certification too.

I have been looking at the MS website and I'm a bit confused, mainly by the fact that a lot of their certifications seem to be expiring over the next few months, and also because I don't know which modules and which avenue, MCTS or MCSA, will best improve my career prospects.

Should I skip the certifications that are going to expire, should I go MCTS or MCSA, and which modules would you specifically recommend?
