MCITP Exchange 2010 - Worth finishing?

Chairman Meow

Hey all,
Just wondering what other IT people might think in regards to this.
I have an A+ and an N+ from several years back, and just this last Friday passed the 70-662 (Exchange 2010: Configuring). This handily nets me an MCTS which is pretty cool, but im wondering with the MCITP thing (and the Exchange 2010 exams) being retired in January, would it be worth my while going for the 70-663 to complete the MCITP certification?

How hard is the 663 after completing the 662?

I was thinking of either finishing the Exchange exams, or just going for something like the new Server 2012 MCSA instead.

You can upgrade the MCITP in Exchange 2010 to the MCSA in Server 2012 by just doing 70-417 instead of 410, 411 and 412.

Great thanks for that. Might be worth doing it so. Looking at some sample questions here and after finishing the 662 alot of it is very familiar, so i might be able to get it done before Jan 31st!

You can? Are you sure? I have the 414, could I go for the 417 instead of the 3 410, 411 and 412 exams?

Just wanted to say thanks Testicle, jsut passed the 70-663. What a pain in the arse of an exam!! Still glad to get it over, now ive got the Exchange 2010 MCITP, and hopefully upgrade it to MCTS Server 2012 next year with the 70-417
