New Microsoft Certification Track

Hello, Shajeeha!

We are glad to have you at Microsoft’s Community.

We understand that you have inquiries regarding the upcoming Certifications or the replacement Exam for the MCSA: Windows Server 2016. We will be happy to assist you.

Microsoft Certifications team continually monitors industry trends to keep pace with changes in technology, resulting in the introduction, revision, or retirement of some exams. Therefore, we need to inform you that all the MCSA Certifications were retired on January 31, 2021.

Please note that once a Certification has been retired, the candidates will no longer be able to earn it.

In that case, we kindly suggest you the following Certifications:

• Microsoft 365 Certified: Messaging Administrator Associate.

• Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate 

To better assist you, please check the following link: Become Microsoft Certified where you will be able to see in detail all the available Exams and learning paths according to your interest and work profile.

We hope this information is useful please, let us know if additional assistance is needed. If we do not receive a response, we will have to proceed to close and lock this case after one business day.

If the assistance given solved your request, please indicate “Yes” to the question “Did this solve your issue?” shown below, so that other Learners can benefit and to improve our service.
