This question cannot be answered here. It is all dependent on what kind of employment agreement you have with yoru employer.
Employment law would say likely not. According to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, any tests and certifications required for employment must be "job-related and it's results appropriate for the employer's purpose." http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/factemployment_procedures.html In other words, any certifications or test results required as a condition of employment by an employer must be ones used directly in the applicant's day-to-day job duties. Therefore, unless the position at Microsoft would entail daily job functions which would require Microsoft certification, it cannot be legally mandated.
It may have been a condition of your employment, the employer may have paid for it, in which case the employer has the right to know the results as they may affect you in your employment.
