You might be unsure whether the test you are preparing for is the same one you\u2019ll take. Information on forums and YouTube has made things more confusing, making it hard to tell whether your skills-measured outline is up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fast_Rundown\"><\/span>The Fast Rundown<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft launched a new skills-measured outline for the <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/credentials\/certifications\/resources\/study-guides\/az-104\">AZ-104 exam<\/a> on April 17, 2026, but the news is not that alarming. No domains have been added or removed; however, the weights for the domains may have changed slightly, and the weight of containerization increased. While you have kept studying the original five domains that were the basis for the exam, it is still important that you verify that the learning material you are using is in line with the <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/credentials\/certifications\/azure-administrator\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/credentials\/certifications\/azure-administrator\/\">latest update<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Domain<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Manage Azure identities and governance<\/td><td>20\u201325%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Implement and manage storage<\/td><td>15\u201320%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Deploy and manage Azure compute resources<\/td><td>20\u201325%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Implement and manage virtual networking<\/td><td>15\u201320%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Monitor and maintain Azure resources<\/td><td>10\u201315%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Was_Changed_In_AZ-104_2026\"><\/span>What Was Changed In AZ-104 2026&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following changes were noticed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Identities\/Governance \u2014 Use of Microsoft Entra ID terminology in place of the older \u201cAzure Active Directory\u201d terminology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compute \u2014 Expanded container support, including Azure Container Apps and Azure Container Instances mention<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storage \u2013 Azure Files identity-based access and blob lifecycle management support<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Network \u2013 Focus on evaluating effective NSG security rules<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monitoring \u2013 Coverage for both Recovery Services vaults and Azure Backup vaults<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_This_Means_for_Your_Study_Process\"><\/span>What This Means for Your Study Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your course content is from the beginning of 2026, you don\u2019t need to start from scratch. First, scrutinize the compute section, particularly containers and Bicep, the identity section (Entra ID naming), and the storage section based on Microsoft&#8217;s latest blueprint. Then, your studying process can continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exam format includes different question types, and you will need a <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/credentials\/certifications\/exam-scoring-reports\">score of at least 700 out of 1,000 to pass<\/a>. Microsoft notes that the exam may include question types such as multiple case studies and labs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer to learn using an official blueprint instead of trying to make sense of information you find on forums, Spoclearn offers training for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spoclearn.com\/course\/az-104-certification\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.spoclearn.com\/course\/az-104-certification\/\">Azure Administrator <strong>(AZ-104) certification<\/strong> <\/a>covering all updated sections.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottomline\"><\/span>The Bottomline&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main danger in 2026 isn&#8217;t a completely revolutionized test. It&#8217;s spending time relearning what you&#8217;ve already mastered while ignoring areas that need attention, such as troubleshooting networks, evaluating NSG rules, and inheriting RBAC scopes. Which is why it\u2019s important to always check with the official <strong>Microsoft AZ-104 <\/strong>source. You may already be more up to date with your existing preparation than the claims circulating online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_As\"><\/span><strong>Q &amp; A&#8217;s<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Is_there_any_update_about_the_AZ-104_exam_passing_score_in_2026\"><\/span>1.
