Hey everyone! I've just finished the AZ-104 and AZ-305 exams, and my boss wants me to take the AZ-140: Configuring and Operating Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop certification next. This wasn't on my radar for now, but we need it to keep our Microsoft partnership status. Has anyone taken the AZ-140 recently? I'd love any tips or insights you can share! I've found that there's not much recent material or practice questions available online. If you've passed the exam not too long ago, how long did you study, and what resources did you find useful? I'm aiming to get this done by July 7th, so any advice would be super helpful!

I got my AZ-140 cert a while back. I really suggest messing around with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) in a lab if you can. There's a ton of new features being released, so checking out the Microsoft documentation is super important, too. A few online courses, like on Udemy, provide a solid foundation. Just keep in mind some might be a bit outdated, but they cover the basics like host pools and FSLogix, which you'll still need to know.
Check out this YouTube playlist for some great resources: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-V4YVm6AmwW1DBM25pwWYd1Lxs84ILZT. There's also a newer Udemy course available. Hands-on experience with Azure AVD is crucial, and don't forget to explore GitHub for potential labs that might assist you!
Having previous experience with VDI solutions like Citrix or VMware Horizon will definitely help. You could also set up an Azure trial account, but just a heads up, the 4 CPUs limit can be a bit restrictive for playing around with AVD. There's overlap with AZ-104 material, which will help on some questions. Make sure to look up exam prep materials for sample questions; some are very much 'straight from the book,' so reading through the documentation is a must!
I’m in a similar situation! I just completed AZ-104 and AZ-305, and now I'm diving into the AZ-140 course too. Not sure how helpful that is for your question, but it’s good to know we're in the same boat! 😄
Congrats on passing AZ-104 and AZ-305! 🎉 AZ-140 is a bit niche, so I can't stress enough how important hands-on labs and Microsoft Learn are. John Savill has some awesome AVD content on YouTube. Since you're aiming for July 7, I can share a prep plan that’s worked well for others if you're interested! 💪
