There's no "official" order. You have to take a certain set of exams,
dependant on which certification you want to end up with. But there's no set
order in which you have to take them. Do whatever you feel comfortable
doing. Most people tackle the Client OS exam first, but that's only because
most people find that the easiest.

Order is not THAT important but here are some hints:

If in doubt take them in (roughly) numeric order.

More specifically:
Take XP before Server
Server (general) before Advanced or Specific (AD, Net, etc.)
Take the "admin" version before a corresponding "Design" (or planning)

> Would like be a correct way of doing things?

The following would be fine -- not the ONLY way but
a good way.

AD, NET and/or NET Security

OR you favorite "big server" SQL, Exchange, etc.

If you don't have a 'favorite' pick the one(s) you
most want to learn, or most want to WORK WITH.

Most important 'trick' I can teach you quickly: Pick
a test (or better TESTS) and JUST REGISTER for it.

If you miss it, take it again with two weeks MAX. 3-10
days are better.

If you pass it, immediately register for the NEXT test,
especially the "other" version of the same subject
(e.g., SQL Admin then SQL Design etc.)

Remember, if it is neccessary to retake a certification
exam you can "Get a Free second shot" at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/offers/2ndshot/ DO
not take more than one exam on the same day. This is a
recipe for failure. The sequence you take exams in is not
important. Set the sequence that is best for you.

Additional info you will find invaluable - FYI

VERY IMPORTANT: Free mini certification tests.

Microsoft Skills Assessments are free and Important to
you. These assessments are maintained by Microsoft to
insure they are current with todays technologies. Industry
use these assessments to measure your skill sets, so
completing them successfully is in your best interest.
Certified Professionals are also being asked by industry
to complete these assessments to verify their credentials
are current. You can find these assessments at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/assessment/default.asp

These assessments are like mini certification tests. You
can take as many assessments as you need or want to and
there is no cost. If you need help, you can also get
excellent free detailed Q&A support for these assessments
at http://disnetinc.com/

You can view all Microsoft Certifications at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/certifications.asp
From this location you will get the neccessary information
you need to plan and do your training.

What ever else you do, I encourage you to use Microsoft's
Press training material. After all this is their product,
who better to supply training material? You can view
Microsoft Press books at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/books/product.asp Most
microsoft press books can be acquired for less at
http://www.ebay.com or any other auction site.

You can View New and Upcoming Exams at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcpexams/status/new.asp

You can find Simulations in MCP exams at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcpexams/simulations/

Stay ahead of the curve. As Microsoft says "The one thing
you can count on in the IT field is change. Whether it's
for a new job or a system-wide deployment, keeping your
skills current is the best way to enjoy continued success."

You can find code samples at
