AZ-104 Azure Administrator Exam Study Guide

I am currently preparing for the new Microsoft exam AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator, which was announced to replace the AZ-103 exam. There are many great resources out there to prepare for the exam, that’s why I want to share my AZ-104 Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Exam Study Guide with you. To learn and prepare for the exam, I usually use a couple of online resources, mainly Microsoft Docs and Microsoft Learn, which I am going to share with you. You can find more information about how I prepare for a Microsoft Certification exam on my blog post: How to prepare and pass Microsoft Certification Exam.

Also, check out other Microsoft Azure Certification Exam Study Guides:

Here is my AZ-104 Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Exam Study Guide

It is essential to get familiar with the exam objectives and skills measured first. That is why I recommend reading the description of the exam and the skills measured.

Exam AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator

The Azure Administrator implements, manages, and monitors identity, governance, storage, compute, and virtual networks in a cloud environment. The Azure Administrator will provision, size, monitor, and adjust resources as appropriate.

Candidates should have a minimum of six months of hands-on experience administering Azure. Candidates should have a strong understanding of core Azure services, Azure workloads, security, and governance. Candidates for this exam should have experience in using PowerShell, the Command Line Interface, Azure Portal, and ARM templates.

The high-level view of the skills measured in the exam:

Manage Azure identities and governance (15-20%)
Implement and manage storage (10-15%)
Deploy and manage Azure compute resources (25-30%)
Configure and manage virtual networking (30-35%)
Monitor and back up Azure resources (10-15%)

You can find more information on the exam website.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for this blog. i have a question.

Can I pass the AZ-104 exam on preparing the exam with the Exam ref AZ-103 book ? or there is same changes between AZ-103 and AZ-104 ?

Thank you in advance.

  Hi Marwen
  I don’t know, I haven’t done the AZ-104 yet. That said I believe in general it focuses still on the same topics. You can compare the different exam measured skills on the exam websites.
  You can still take AZ-103 (90 days after AZ-104 got released) and you will get the same Azure Administrator certification.

Thanks for the guide. I passed the Fundamentals over xmas and am doing the beta exam in late April. There is a LOT of content, especially the networking side of things. In previous admin jobs, we always had the network group a lot of that. I real life , are Azure admins really doing this much networking?

Reply

  April 6, 2020
  
  First of all, congrats for passing the Fundamentals. I could now write a super long answer to why I think that is the case. From my experience, yes, but not always, which means that when it comes to the cloud, you need a much broader understanding of how things work together. Sure, you will often have experts for specific topics, but you will need to understand how everything works together. I often see cloud teams within companies who do all the cloud work, from deploying VMs, backup, networking, storage, automation, management, governance, and much more. They all have a broad understanding of Azure, and maybe one of them has more in-depth knowledge of networking, the other one is the expert for storage-related topics. But they all know the basics.
  I see this classic organization structure blur or even vanish in a lot of companies when they focus on the cloud. Because they usually mean they are slowing the organization down drastically. Check out the T-shaped skills: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shaped_skills

Hi Thomas.

Thanks for the content, its helping begin this AZ-104 ‘journey’.

I am using the Microsoft\Docs\Learn documentation initially and have a AZ-103 book I will go through also.

Have you any opinion on the time required to be spent on all forms of access to Azure for the Labs and any practical tasks:

– Portal
– CLI
– CloudShell
– PowerShell
– ARM Templates(JSON) – not sure if this is required for AZ-104 ?

For every ‘task’ included in the syllabus, should we know how to complete them in every method?

Thanks again Thomas.

I do have one quick question though, I was browsing the latest skills outline from Microsoft and noticed that there will be some changes to the exam starting November 24, 2020. My question is, would you be updating this guide as well? Although it looks like it will be some very minor changes, I’m really just curious if I should factor that change in my preparation.

Hi Thomas, I passed my AZ-900 and planning on AZ-104. I have no background with admin but on the daily basis with processes/Enterprise architecture. I want to be a Azure expert so starting from scratch. Your material is absolutely pin-pointed which helps me instead of getting lost. Now, I have some handle on the admin concepts but cannot retain it for long time since I don’t use it on daily basis. Once I am done with AZ-104, would like to clear AZ-304 (architecture). What approach would you suggest achieving Azure Arch. level skills?

Hi Thomas,
I just wanted to check SSO for Legacy Lotus Notes Client installed on AAD authenticated machine.
We have few autopilot machines authenticated by AAD managed by Azure Intune.
We have installed Lotus Notes client on these autopilot machines and we enabled SSO.But it is not working in these autopilot machines. Same Lotus Notes configuration and settings are done in machines authenticated by on-prem AD and SSO is working on those mahines. So when authenticating from AAD, it is not working. Could you please assist on how we can proceed in this.

I appreciate your time and effort in organizing and compiling all the material to support the AZ-104 exam study.

As instructor material is not to be shared with students, I was wondering if you have a document that outlines topic correspondence between the two.
