Exams Retiring at End of June
Nine Microsoft exams whose retirements were announced in June 2002
will be discontinued at the end of this month.
by Michael Domingo
6/12/2003 ¡ª Retirement is finally coming up June 30,
2003, for nine exams, retirements that Microsoft announced a year
ago:
70-056: Implementing and Supporting Web Sites Using Site Server
3.0
70-057: Designing and Implementing Commerce Solutions with Site
Server 3.0, Commerce Edition
70-080: Implementing and Supporting Internet Explorer 5.0 by Using
the Internet Explorer Administration Kit
70-081: Implementing and Supporting Exchange Server 5.5
70-085: Implementing and Supporting SNA Server 4.0
70-088: Implementing and Supporting Proxy Server 2.0
70-091: Designing and Implementing Solutions with Office 2000 and
Visual Basic for Applications
70-098: Implementing and Supporting Windows 98
70-105: Designing and Implementing Collaborative Solutions with
Outlook 2000 and Exchange Server 5.5
According to an ongoing policy, Microsoft makes impending exam retirement
announcements in June each year, with retirements taking place one
year after the announcements are made. Because of another policy
implemented in October 2001 (see the FAQ at http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/
highlights/announcement.asp for details), Microsoft also requires
no recertification in order to retain currently valid certifications.
This means that anyone holding a certification that uses any of
these soon-to-retire exams will remain certified.
