You have booked AZ-802, or you are about to. AZ-800 and AZ-801 retired on 30 September 2026, so this one exam is now the way to Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Administrator Associate. The question is simple: are you ready?

These practice tests help you answer it. There are four tests, 50 questions each - 200 in total - written from Microsoft's public skills outline for AZ-802. Every question is tied to one objective from that outline, so when you get one wrong, you know exactly what to revise.

What makes the explanations useful

Each answer tells you why the right option is right and why each wrong option is wrong. The wrong options are where most of the learning is: they are real features, cmdlets and settings that an administrator could easily pick by mistake.

How the tests are built

• Test 1 - AD DS and hybrid management: domain controllers, RODCs, FSMO roles, sites, replication, trusts, service accounts, Group Policy, Windows Admin Center, PowerShell remoting and JEA, SSH, Remote Desktop, Azure Arc, Azure Update Manager and Automation runbooks.

• Test 4 - Full mock exam: 50 mixed questions, weighted like the official skills outline, timed at 120 minutes like the real exam.

Questions use single-answer and "choose two" formats. "Choose two" is always stated in the question.

Versions: Windows Server 2025 (2022 where a question says so), Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7, and Azure services as they stand in October 2026. The answers were checked against Microsoft's documentation in October 2026.
