According to a recent MCP Newsflash, candidates for the Windows Server 2008 upgrade exams who purchased a voucher back prior to June 2007 will finally get the vouchers some time next month. That's when Exam 70-649 TS: Upgrading Your MCSE Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, is expected to become available in beta test format.

The preparation guide for Exam 70-649 doesn't specify whether candidates should already have attained MCSE on Windows 2003 status in order to take the exam. Still, Microsoft recommends a solid year of experience working with Microsoft networking technologies -- primarily with Windows Server 2003 -- and should be well-versed in directory services planning, manaagement and implementation. Microsoft also offers several official courses for Windows Server 2008; information is avaiable on the exam preparation guide.

Exam 70-649 is expected to go live soon after the official launch of Windows Server 2008 in February 2008.
