Two days ago I passed the Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate Certification which has AZ-800 and AZ-801 Exams.  It was a great experience as this exam and the certification is very new and competitive. With the success in this exam, I have earned the Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate Badge as well as I have passed the other two exams AZ-400 and AZ-104 earlier. 

I will be sharing my story regarding the certification and the exam. 

I am an IT professional with a career spread over 10 years. I have multiple job experiences in Windows OS and Microsoft Office environment. I started my career as a support technician but now working as a Network Administrator. I have acquired CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, and Microsoft certification exam from time to time during my career. I have vast hands-on experience with Microsoft Windows Desktop and Server OS. Right now I’m working on the servers mostly running Microsoft Windows Server 2016 / Windows Server Hybrid Administrator. I have been working on this OS for the last few months. 

A few months ago when our organization decided to move from Microsoft Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server Hybrid Administrator, I decided that I would do the Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate. I started preparing for two exams AZ-800 and AZ-801 at a slow pace as I only needed this certification to groom my skills and it was not an official requirement. I have a very busy schedule and I can hardly spare time for studies. That’s why I had to go at a slower pace.  I passed Exam AZ-400: Microsoft Azure DevOps Solutions and Exam AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Exam in four months. While I was thinking of starting preparation for my 3rd and final certification exam to complete the certification track. As with the two previous exams I selected Dumpsbuddy for the study material. I have had a very great experience with the PDF and testing engine from Dumpsbuddy. It provided me an amazing real exam like experience which is a great way for the preparation of the exam. The braindumps by Dumpsbuddy for the exam AZ-800 and AZ-801 Exams were wonderful like the earlier ones. Braindumps by Dumpsbuddy are compiled by the industry professional based on the actual past exams. Dumpsbuddy also offers a money-back guarantee against the training material they provide and it adds to the confidence of the candidate going for an exam. I somehow dedicated 3 hours daily for the preparation of the exam AZ-800 as I was not having much time left with me. With regular practice tests and the PDF study guide from dumpsbuddy.com, I completed my preparation in only three weeks. By the end of three weeks, I was confident enough with my preparation to go for the exam. I then booked the exam. A night before the exam I had a sound sleep as I was sure of my readiness for the exam. On the exam day, I took the exam in a convenient manner. As per expectation, I was able to make it on the first attempt. I secured an 89% score and passed the exam AZ-801: Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services to earn myself the Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification. Although it was a very short time I managed it because of Dumpsbuddy and a focused approach. 

Passion, persistence, and the right training material make up a perfect recipe for success in any exam.
