Windows Server Administrator Associate AZ-802 curated learning path
Hi there, Can someone point me in the right direction for AZ-802 exam preparation? I've been trying to use Microsoft Learn to study for AZ-802 (Administering Windows Server), but I keep running into the same issue: I can find the exam objectives, but not a clear, end-to-end learning path. I found the official study guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-ca/credentials/certifications/resources/study-guides/az-802 The problem is that it only outlines the exam topics. From there, am I supposed to manually search Microsoft Learn for content covering each objective? That feels pretty fragmented and difficult to organize into a study plan. Is there a single page or learning path that consolidates all the relevant Microsoft Learn content for AZ-802? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Developing Finance and Operations Apps with Dynamics 365 Blueprint Survey Opportunity

I recently published a blog sharing my experience preparing for and passing the Microsoft Certified: Agent Builder Associate (AB-620) beta exam. Since I took the beta exam in the first week of June 2026, there were very few preparation resources available. I relied primarily on Microsoft Learn, extensive hands-on practice in Microsoft Copilot Studio, and the Applied Skills lab to build the practical knowledge needed for the exam. In this article, I share: The Microsoft Learn path I completed How I used Microsoft Copilot to understand complex concepts Hands-on practice in Copilot Studio The Applied Skills lab that strengthened my practical knowledge The key topics I recommend focusing on before taking the exam My personal preparation tips for future candidates If you're planning to take AB-620 or are beginning your journey with Microsoft Copilot Studio, I hope my experience helps you prepare more effectively. 🔗 Read the full blog: https://medium.com/@sajeda27/my-ab-620-journey-7cc17f2ff52b

MD-102 Practice Test Does Not Prepare You for the Actual Exam + Poor Support Links
The following was edited by Copilot but is actually my own personal experience and I have read through it and found it accurate to what I wrote for it to edit to a better format: I’m posting this here because I was unable to successfully submit this feedback through the official Microsoft Credentials support channels (links either redirected to Azure support or returned a 404 error). I recently prepared for the MD-102 Endpoint Administrator certification using the official Microsoft Learn modules and the associated Practice Assessment. Based on my performance with those materials, I felt reasonably prepared going into the exam. However, the actual exam experience was significantly different from the Practice Assessment. Issue The Microsoft Learn Practice Assessment primarily uses straightforward, single-concept multiple-choice questions. In contrast, the actual MD-102 exam includes: Multi-step, scenario-based questions Questions requiring evaluation of multiple valid solutions “Best answer” decisions involving trade-offs (not just correctness) These are fundamentally different question styles and require different types of preparation. Impact This mismatch creates a false sense of readiness. Candidates who rely on official Microsoft Learn materials—including the Practice Assessment—may believe they are adequately prepared, but encounter a much more complex and different exam experience. In my case, this gap was a major factor in not passing the exam despite completing the recommended preparation resources. Additional Concern I attempted to submit this feedback through the official Microsoft Credentials support links, but encountered issues: Redirects to Azure “Support for Business” instead of certification support (https://learn.microsoft.com/credentials/support/help) Credentials support page returning a 404 error (https://learn.microsoft.com/credentials/support/) No visible feedback mechanism on the Practice Assessment page itself (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/modern-desktop/practice/assessment) This makes it difficult to report issues with certification preparation materials through the intended channels. Suggestions To improve the effectiveness of Microsoft Learn as an exam preparation tool: Clearly indicate that Practice Assessments are not representative of actual exam format or difficulty AND Update Practice Assessments to include: Scenario-based questions Multi-step decision questions “Best solution” style problems Provide a full-length mock exam that more closely reflects the real exam experience Add a visible feedback option directly on Practice Assessment pages Fix routing issues with Credentials support links I’m sharing this because I suspect others may run into the same issue when relying on official preparation materials.AI Business Professional Blueprint Survey Opportunity

Namstey Folks 🙏, As we look at digital transformation, one of the biggest bottlenecks is the skills gap in handling complex operational workflows. With the rise of modern M365 extensions and Power Platform capabilities, the barrier to entry is shifting. We can now build robust solutions directly inside SharePoint without needing heavy custom code. From what I’ve seen, the benefits of going the low-code/no-code route within the M365 ecosystem are clear: - Faster Deployment: Building internal workflows directly where teams already work cuts out weeks of standard dev cycles. - Empowered Teams: Operations teams can patch their own inefficiencies without waiting in a long IT queue. However, it also opens up real strategic questions around data governance, compliance, and keeping these citizen-developed solutions maintainable over time. How is your organization approaching upskilling for this? Are you training existing operational teams to build their own tools within the Microsoft ecosystem, or is IT still handling everything from the top down? Let's build robust solutions
