Well I know Security+ can be used as an elective on the MCSE and MCSA (at least on 1 of them) AND it also satifies a speciality in security for MCSA's (or is it MCSE) any hoot, its pretty useful for a Microsoft Exam, so you wont have to take an elective course. I'm pretty sure the outline I posted on which to get first is correct in that it is to me the most effective and logical way of getting ALL certs listed in the most timely manner. I know I probably missed something! I honestly never heard of security+ till I was looking at comptia.org
OH BTW, check this out
www.getcertified4less.com
www.2test.com
the first one gives out test vouchers for vue OR prometric centers, so enjoy that, the 2nd finds a test center, dont know how useful that one is but hey...
What certs should I get to advance my IT field?
