Anyone taken the A+ exam recently?

I am getting my foot in the door with a very well known tech company to be a technician in their server farms. My connection suggested that with my experience as an electronics technician in the navy, electrician and former tech support, an A+ and more importantly server+ would get me in the door.

Server+ doesn't have a whole lot of traction in the industry these days. Generally, I'd recommend Network+ over Server+ unless the employer is specifically seeking out individuals who have Server+. Of course, if you have the time and money, get both.

Source: I've worked in IT as a senior network admin and as a certification trainer for 16 years.

That's specifically what they're seeking, server+, or else I'd definitely be looking into something else.
