Microsoft Learning just announced on the Born to Learn blog the availability of the Beta version for the exam 70-703: Administering Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager and Cloud Services Integration (Beta). This exam is covering System Center Configuration Manager 2016.
Exam 70-703 will replace 70-696 which is scheduled to retire on 31 March 2018.
A discount code for 80% reduction on exam fee is also available on the Born to Learn blog post. I have just used it to register for the exam myself :-).
Later edit: Also the MCSE: Mobility certification will be updated so it will include exam 70-703 as an elective exam. The certification requirements will include:
- MCSA: Windows 10 (exams 70-698: Installing and Configuring Windows 10 and 70-697: Configuring Windows Devices)
Take one elective exam from the following:
- Exam 70-398: Planning for and Managing Devices in the Enterprise (retires 31 July 2018)
- Exam 70-695: Deploying Windows Desktops and Enterprise Applications
- Exam 70-703: Administering System Center Configuration Manager and Cloud Services Integration (instead of 70-696 which retires 31 March 2018)
Looks like I have to register to take some more exams …
