These learning paths are great to see as many still are heavy in their use of Windows Server.

Do we know if there is to be any replacement certs for the recently retired Windows Server 2016 MSCA & other MCSE exams at all?

Copper Contributor

Really good to see these, I'm sure they'll be heavily used by myself and my team. Thankyou!

Copper Contributor

This really good as it is constantly updating.

There is still a lot of On-Prem kit out there.

 

It would be good to have certs for this as well. With the new free cert update every year, it will ensure that there is even more demand for those that are certified. And the cert syllabus will ensure that those that are, will have the skills as a lot of the different features end up rarely or never used.

 

Probably along with the Role based Certs, Microsoft should bring back Product based certs as well.
