Congrats on your pass - if you're planning on doing the full MCSE path, then you might consider 217 next then 219 followed by 216 then 221 and end with 218. The information in 217 and 219 is similar just one is presented in case study format (219) and 216 and 221 cover the same information as well but presented differently, with 221 being case study format. 216 is the hardest test I've taken so far, and would recommend tons of practice with policies before taking it. Wrapping up with 218 will also get you MCSA

Congrats on the pass!

Your options are 216, 217, & 218.

The 216 is widely regarded as the hardest in the MCSE track, in fact, many fail it on their first attempts. If you decide to go with it next, plan on spending extra-time preparing, which should include, of course, plenty of hands-on practice. Of all the MCSE certifications, the 216 will require the most hands-on practice and experience!

The 217 is regarded as the second hardest in the MCSE track by most and is probably the path of least resistance for you. While not to be taken lightly, it is to an extent, a degree easier that 216. The 217 will give you a good foundation with DNS and the Active Directory networking environment, which, overall, will ease your transition into the myriad of networking services you will have to master with the 216 certification track. If you do decide to choose this direction, you will want to take the 219 after, because it is to a great degree the same material, just presented from a design perspective.

Don't know if 218 is in the cards for you or not, but it is basically a re-hash of the four core exams with an emphasis on troubleshooting. Overall, the 218 doesn't broach any one particular objective to deeply, but instead covers a wide diverse array of subject matter, none of them with any great profundity, and is more on the level of the first two core exams in relation to it's level of difficulty. Many take it successfully after just passing the first two core exams.

There you have it, just my slant on MCSE certifications as someone who has already traversed your path. Good luck!
