Introduction
This book was written from over 25 years of IT experience. I have taken that experience and translated it into a Windows Server book that will help you not only prepare for the Microsoft Certified Associate Windows Server Hybrid Administrator exams but also develop a clear understanding of how to install and configure Windows Server 2022 while avoiding all the possible configuration pitfalls.
Many Microsoft books just explain the Windows Server operating system, but with MCA® Microsoft Certified Associate Windows Server® Hybrid Administrator Complete Study Guide: Exam AZ-800 and Exam AZ-801, I will go a step further, providing many in-depth, step-by-step procedures to support my explanations of how the operating system performs at its best.
The exams AZ-800, Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure, and AZ-801, Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services, cover Windows Server 2022. This is Microsoft's Windows Server operating system software. Windows Server 2022 is the newest version released by Microsoft.
This book takes you through all the ins and outs of Windows Server 2022, including integrating Windows Server environments with Azure services, managing Windows Server in on-premises networks, and so much more.
When all is said and done, this is a technical book for IT professionals who want to take Windows Server 2022 to the next step and get certified. With this book, you will not only learn Windows Server 2022 and hopefully pass the exams, you will also become a Windows Server expert.
The Microsoft Certification Program
Since the inception of its certification program, Microsoft has certified more than 2 million people. As the computer network industry continues to increase in both size and complexity, this number is sure to grow—and the need for proven ability will also increase. Certifications can help companies verify the skills of prospective employees and contractors.
The Microsoft certification track for Windows Server includes this certification:
Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate
The Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate is now the highest-level certification you can achieve with Microsoft in relation to Windows Server. It requires passing exams AZ-800 and AZ-801. This book assists in your preparation for both exams.
How Do You Become Certified on Windows Server?
Attaining Microsoft certification has always been a challenge. In the past, students have been able to acquire detailed exam information—even most of the exam questions—from online “brain dumps” and third-party “cram” books or software products. For the new generation of exams, this is simply not the case.
Microsoft has taken strong steps to protect the security and integrity of its certifications. Now prospective candidates must complete a course of study that develops detailed knowledge about a wide range of topics. It supplies them with the true skills needed, derived from working with the technology being tested.
The new generations of Microsoft certification programs are heavily weighted toward hands-on skills and experience. It is recommended that candidates have troubleshooting skills acquired through hands-on experience and working knowledge.
Fortunately, if you are willing to dedicate the time and effort to learn Windows Server 2022, you can prepare yourself well for the exam by using the proper tools. By working through this book, you can successfully meet the requirements to pass the Windows Server exams.
Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate Exam Requirements
Candidates for MCA certification for Windows Server must pass two exam:
AZ-800: Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure
AZ-801: Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services
Microsoft provides exam objectives to give you a general overview of possible areas of coverage on the Microsoft exams. Keep in mind, however, that exam objectives are subject to change at any time without prior notice and at Microsoft's sole discretion. Please visit the Microsoft Learning website (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/windows-server-hybrid-administrator) for the most current listing of exam objectives.
For a more detailed description of the Microsoft certification programs, including a list of all the exams, visit the Microsoft Learning website at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/browse.
Types of Exam Questions
In an effort to both refine the testing process and protect the quality of its certifications, Microsoft has focused its latest certification exams on real experience and hands-on proficiency. There is a greater emphasis on your past working environments and responsibilities and less emphasis on how well you can memorize. In fact, Microsoft says that certification candidates should have hands-on experience before attempting to pass any certification exams.
Microsoft will accomplish its goal of protecting the exams’ integrity by regularly adding and removing exam questions, limiting the number of questions that any individual sees in a beta exam, limiting the number of questions delivered to an individual by using adaptive testing, and adding new exam elements.
Exam questions may be in a variety of formats. Depending on which exam you take you may see multiple-choice questions as well as select-and-place and prioritize-a-list questions. Simulations and case study–based formats are included as well. Let's take a look at the types of exam questions so that you'll be prepared for all the possibilities.
Multiple-Choice Questions
Multiple-choice questions come in two main forms. One is a straightforward question followed by several possible answers of which one or more is correct. The other type of multiple-choice question is more complex and based on a specific scenario. The scenario may focus on several areas or objectives.
