While AZ-100 exam preparation consists more of infrastructure and deployment with Azure whereas the AZ-101 deals with integration and security related matters of Azure. If you want to be a fully qualified Azure administrator associate, you need to pass both of these exams.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As the first step towards that goal, you can make use of this preparation guide for Microsoft AZ-100 exam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Try now: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/microsoft-azure-certification-az-100\/free-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Exam AZ-100 Free Practice Test<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Prerequisites_for_AZ-100_Exam_Preparation\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">What Are the Prerequisites for AZ-100 Exam Preparation?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s important that you should have some prior knowledge on some basic tech concepts for your Microsoft AZ-100 Infrastructure and Deployment exam preparation.

Implement &amp; Manage Storage<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">This section includes configuring Azure files, implementing Azure backup, creating &amp; configuring Azure accounts and importing &amp; exporting data to Azure. Since 20-25% of questions can be asked from this section, candidates who want a preparation guide for Microsoft AZ-100 exam can\u2019t skip this section at any cost. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\">3. Deploy &amp; Manage Virtual Machines<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">This part mostly deals with the creation &amp; configuration of virtual machines for Windows and Linux platforms. It also includes automation of VM deployment and management of VM backups. Not less than 25% of questions can come from this section.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-68678 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/az-100-exam-blueprint-1.png\" alt=\"Azure AZ-100 Exam Blueprint\" width=\"361\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/az-100-exam-blueprint-1.png 361w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/az-100-exam-blueprint-1-236x300.png 236w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/az-100-exam-blueprint-1-330x420.png 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\">4. Configure &amp; Manage Virtual Networks<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">In this part, you can expect questions regarding the creation of connectivity between virtual networks along with their management and implementation. You can also expect questions related to name resolution configuration and creation\/ configuration of Network Security Groups (NSGs) in this section. From 20 to 25 percent questions of the exam can be asked from this section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\">5. Manage Identities<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">This section contains the questions related to Azure ADs (Active Directories). An Azure Administrator is solely responsible for managing these items. He\/She has to manage different AD objects such as users, groups and devices. Also, such a person has to manage hybrid identities related to Azure AD. Around 15-20% weight has been given to this section. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_Overall_Pattern_of_Azure_AZ-100_Exam\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">What\u2019s the Overall Pattern of Azure AZ-100 Exam? <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">While preparing for the Azure AZ-100 certification exam, it is important to understand the exam format and overall pattern first. Let&#8217;s have a look at the following exam details of the Azure AZ-100 exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Number of Questions<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Generally, an Azure AZ-100 exam can contain questions in the rage of 40 to 60. It\u2019s not exclusive to AZ-100; as most of the similar Azure certification exams follow this pattern. And, it\u2019s not necessary that you\u2019ll get the same number of questions each time you attend the exam. The only guaranteed thing is, the question rage will be in the range 40-60.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">In the starting of an exam, you\u2019ll get a question to state your experience with Azure networking. There will be three options viz. beginner, medium and expert. However, in contrast to what you\u2019re thinking, the intention of this question isn\u2019t for choosing the difficulty level of questions you have to face. Instead, Microsoft just wants to know when you\u2019re actually taking the exam (for measuring purpose only).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Time Frame of the Exam<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Roughly, the exam will be around 180 minutes long where you have 150 minutes of time in the technical perspective. You can go through each and every question answering the known questions and flagging some questions where you can come back and answer them later. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">There\u2019ll be a lot of multiple choice questions in various formats like building, drag and drop, active screen etc. Read each question carefully before answering them. It\u2019s because sometimes you may have to select multiple answers for a question whereas actually most of the time you may select just one answer. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/microsoft-azure-certification-az-100\/online-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-68682 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/az-100-online-course.jpg\" alt=\"AZ-100 Online Course banner\" width=\"681\" height=\"84\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/az-100-online-course.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/az-100-online-course-300x37.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/az-100-online-course-640x79.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Integrating with a Case Study<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Here, you\u2019ll get scenarios across multiple screens where you\u2019ve to explain each scenario with both business &amp; technical perspectives. It\u2019s the real examination of testing your knowledge on how you can effectively manage &amp; deploy things. There\u2019d be many questions surrounding a particular case study and if you move out of one case study, you can\u2019t go back to it again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">So, you have to give more focus and attention to this part when you start your AZ-100 Exam Preparation. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Exam Scores<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">You can pass the exam if you got 700 marks. Sounds easy, right? Well, it isn\u2019t as simple as you are thinking. Scoring 700 out of 1000 doesn\u2019t mean that you can pass the exam once you score 70%. The 700 score is scalable- that means you can\u2019t guarantee answering short question gives you 25 points and answering a fairly long explanatory question gives 50 marks and so on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s Microsoft\u2019s algorithm that determines the complexity and difficulty level of each question. All the questions are randomly generated once you start the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_to_Follow_in_your_AZ-100_Exam_Preparation\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Steps to Follow in your AZ-100 Exam Preparation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">In order to simplify your efforts to pass this exam, we\u2019ve summarized some key steps that you can follow in your Microsoft AZ-100 Infrastructure and Deployment exam preparation. None of these steps will be baffling to you so, just take a look around these.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">#1\u00a0Go to the Official Microsoft Learning Page<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Here, you\u2019ll find the most authentic and up-to-date information on each of the exams from Microsoft.

So, you can\u2019t skip any of these sections in your AZ-100 exam preparation, nevertheless, there isn\u2019t any sectional cut-off in this exam.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019ve already discussed each of these sections and their probable weight that you can expect in your exam.<b> <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">#3 Online Training &amp; Practice Tests<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Both of these training methods are important to you unless you\u2019ve some prior experience in this exam.

In Microsoft Azure official page, you can find the cost chart for each country. The pricing isn\u2019t uniform but has been fixed as 165 USD but it can change from country to country. For example, if you\u2019re living in the United Kingdom, you\u2019ve to pay 113 GBP for this exam. Same for other countries too.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">#2 I\u2019ve completed the 70-533 exam. Should I go for AZ-100 exam preparation then?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Microsoft Azure 70-533 is meant for implementing Azure infrastructure solutions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As per Microsoft\u2019s latest update, they are retiring this exam in effective from December 31, 2018. The topics covered in this exam will be covered by exams AZ-100 and AZ-101 which are already available now. Moreover, these exams will cover a broad range of topics suitable for Azure administrator role than 70-533 actually did.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Since you\u2019ve completed the 70-533 exam, you don\u2019t have to go for AZ-100 or AZ-101. Instead, you\u2019ve to take a Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Transition exam or AZ-102. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">#3 What is a Brain Dump and Why People Say it has to be avoided in an Azure certification exam preparation?\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">In an IT certification scenario, the term braindump can be simply defined as memorizing questions or transferring it into an electronic media so as to replicate these questions for illegal distribution. Like many other vendors, Microsoft authorities won\u2019t encourage any brain dump in AZ-100 exam preparation. According to them, there\u2019s no real learning happens if you follow this method for your AZ-100 exam preparation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Since such a certification exam is the real assessment of your skills and expertise on the domain, simply learning to answer some questions will not meet the purpose of this exam. This also underlines the value of a genuine AZ-100 exam study guide for your AZ-100 exam preparation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">To make more clear on it, consider a real-life situation.
