2012年至2013年，微軟將要發佈大量的升級產品，它們分別是SQL Server 2012、System center 2012、Windows server 2012、Windows 8、Offce 2013、Exchange 2013、Lync 2013、Sharepoin 2013。隨着新產品的發佈，微軟的新一代認證體系也隨之產生，微軟取消了上一代認證體系架構，升級後的體系架構是MCSA--->MCSE--->MCSM，除了MCSM無法在國內考，必須參加微軟原廠美國培訓外，另外這種架構不包含Office 2013體系，Office 2013稍有不同。
MCSE: Server Infrastructure
This certification focuses on advanced configuration and network design with Windows Server 2012, and is the presumed successor to the old MCSE and MCITP: Enterprise Administrator certs:
MCSA: Windows Server 2012 (Prerequisite) (MCSA考試有兩種，一種是全新的，要考3門，一種是升級的，只需要考70-417) 70-413 - Designing and Implementing a Server Infrastructure 70-414 - Implementing an Advanced Server Infrastructure
MCSE: Desktop Infrastructure
This track focuses on desktop administration with Windows 8 in an enterprise environment, much like MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator certification on Windows 7: MCSA: Windows Server 2012 (Prerequisite) 70-415 - Implementing a Desktop Infrastructure 70-416 - Implementing Desktop Application Environments
MCSE: Private Cloud
Microsoft has announced a new certification which focuses on managing a 'private cloud' - applications and services spread across multiple servers, or even in a cluster - with a single management interface. This certification focuses on the use of Microsoft System Center 2012 for management: MCSA: Windows Server 2008 (Prerequisite) / MCSA: Windows Server 2012 (Prerequisite) 70-247 - Configuring and Deploying a Private Cloud with System Center 2012 70-246 - Monitoring and Operating a Private Cloud with System Center 2012
MCSE: Data Platform MCSA: SQL Server 2012 (Prerequisite) 70-464 - Developing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases 70-465 - Designing Database Solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2012
MCSE: Business Intelligence MCSA: SQL Server 2012 (Prerequisite) 70-466 - Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 70-467 - Designing Business Intelligence Solutions with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
MCSE: Messaging MCSA: Windows Server 2012 (Prerequisite) 70-341 - Core Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 70-342 - Advanced Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013
MCSE: Communication MCSA: Windows Server 2012 (Prerequisite) 70-336 - Core Solutions of Microsoft Lync Server 2013 70-337 - Enterprise Voice & Online Services with Microsoft Lync Server 2013
MCSE: SharePoint MCSA: Windows Server 2012 (Prerequisite) 70-331 - Core Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 70-332 - Advanced Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013
At the time of this writing, there is no direct upgrade-path from MCITP: Enterprise Administrator to MCSE: Server Infrastructure, or any of the other new MCSE tracks. If you hold any of the qualifying certifications, taking exam 70-417 will earn you MCSA: Windows Server 2012, and you are required to sit for the remaining two exams in order to become MCSE certified
