Until yesterday, Microsoft planned to stop taking exams 70-643 , 70-647 and 70-680 on July 31 of this year. Thus, certification of MCITP: Enterprise Administrator on Windows Server 2008 track terminated. Among the administrators who wanted to get certification, this caused sleepless nights of preparation, along with discontent, since there are currently no official materials for similar certification on Windows 2012.
Yesterday the deadline for taking exams was changed. Now exams will be taken until January 31, 2014 inclusive.
