Hey everyone! I'm preparing for the AZ-104 certification and looking for valuable resources. What study materials, practice tests, or any other recommendations do you have? I'm planning to dedicate around 10 hours per week for about two months. I have a BS in IT Management, a Network+ certification, and some IT experience, particularly basic tasks in Microsoft 365 admin portals like Entra and Intune, as well as Google admin. I've also done some work with Active Directory, user management, and group policies. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely check out John Savill's AZ-104 playlist! It's short but packed with info, so make sure you really dig into the material. Most people end up spending more time practicing than just watching videos. If you stick to 10 hours a week, you should be able to get ready in two months, especially if you actually get hands-on with Azure, like setting up trial tenants, creating VMs, or using Entra. After the AZ-104, I’d suggest focusing on getting good at PowerShell, Intune, identity management with Entra and on-prem AD, and the basics of networking. This will really help you in your future roles!
Thanks for sharing your insights! I've been doing some light system admin tasks myself. Some suggest AZ-104 is more for experienced admins and recommend looking into MD-100 and MD-102 instead. What do you think?
