Feedback about MS-102 retirement
TL;DR: I don't think you should retire the MS-102 as it really is a big downgrade losing and expert M-365 administor certification just for it to be replaced by an unrelated and under leveled AI Ser...
I think the biggest issue is a well-established expert certification appears to have lost its identity. Microsoft 365 administrators still need deep expertise in identity, Exchange, Teams, Intune, and security. AI should complement those skills, not replace them. A dedicated AI certification alongside the Expert track would have made more sense than effectively merging the two. Hopefully Microsoft takes the community's feedback into account.
