Hi All,

I have done with SQL server 70-432 certification in 2011 and after that i didn't completed 70-450 for SQL server 2008.

How do i know whether this certification has been expired or not ?

I have prepared for this now and need to complete as early as possible,please suggest.

Thanks,
Gangadhara

Here are the current SQL Server certifications:

Here are retired exams:

While they haven't technically retired 70-450 or MCITP 2008 yet, they're going to retire all pre-SQL 2012 stuff pretty soon. MCTS/MCITP are essentially obsolete. And they're already updating the MCSA and MCSE to cover SQL Server 2014.

If you have an MCTS in 2008 you are better off going for the MCSA:

https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-sql-certification.aspx

You can take 70-457 and 70-458 together instead of 70-461, 70-462 and 70-463. There's also a 25% discount for 70-457 + 458:

I just recently bought this and passed the 70-457 exam, I'm studying for the 70-458. It's a really good deal if you can take advantage of it.
