Common Questions About the Microsoft 070-417 Exam, Answered
The 070-417 exam, officially titled Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012, is the qualifying exam for the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 certification, which sits at the Associate level. Earning it shows employers that you have the skills the credential stands for, and it is a solid step forward on a Microsoft career path. It also connects to MCSE: Server Infrastructure, MCSE: Desktop Infrastructure, MCP, so the effort you put in now keeps paying off as you advance.
The 070-417 exam gives you 45–60 questions to complete within 120–150.
