So many changes in the learning program of Microsoft. But actually everything leads towards modern role-based certifications. With that Microsoft announced that MCSA, MCSD and MCSE certifications retire on June 30th 2020.
As Microsoft announced this week, the following certifications with exams are scheduled to retire on June 30th, 2020
With that, also all the related exams are retiring.
The answer is pretty easy: NO
As mentioned in the FAQ section of the original annoucement, there will be no Server or SQL certifications in the future. Microsoft will focus to include the content into the role-based certifications as needed and where suitable.
In my honest opinion, this is a good decision. The old Windows Server certifications have not seen much updates over the last years. And also the impact and focus of Microsoft business is coming from the Cloud.
I know we still have topics like Azure Stack HCI and a lot of customers running Windows Servers .. but I do not expect to see crazy inventions here … so an up-to-date certification does not mean much here…
If you have achieved the certification already or you are able to achieve it before June 30th, it will show in your transcript as active for additional 2 years. After this it will be moved to the inactive section.
No matter when, you should care about updating your certifications to the new role-based certifications.
I think there will be some new certifications and exams coming out over the next months.
One thing that was announced already are upcoming certifications for Azure Database Administrators and Data Analyst Associate. They will kind of replace the old SQL MCSA certifications:
